Is it too early to start shopping for baby items?

There’s a mummy’s market happening at expo this weekend, would it be too early to start shopping for baby items when I’m only 10 weeks pregnant?

Too early. As a first time mom who bought a lot of things in preparation of my first child, I learnt that it may not be a bad idea to buy after your child is born. I got mesh baby carrier and Hegen bottles for my baby. However, I realised my baby is not suited for Hegen bottle, probably due to the shape of the teat, which caused her to choke while drinking. I switched to Pigeon bottles and didnt encounter such issue. Likewise, my baby cried murder whenever I placed her in a mesh carrier.. after a lot of trial and error, she is most comfortable with Tula carrier. What we want or think our babies need may not be what is suited for our babies. :)

Personal opinion, too early. Best to list down and see see what you want to buy or what needs to be bought and you may want to also list down the prices for comparison. Get all the samples you can also. I only started buying at 6/7 months. Just so i wont disappoint myself.

I only started buying during my 2nd trimester when I have more energy. I got my list of things to buy from this app where mums would share. I regretted not buying during Mum's fair when things are so much cheaper! I usually get all my stuff online and have them delivered to my place.

You can go have a look and make a list first. It can be quite overwhelming because alot of brands and things to get so it's good to do some research first. The Mummy's fair happens quite frequently so you can wait for the next one to buy.

Thanks for sharing that such events happens frequently. Yea, I think I’ll be overwhelmed by all the various baby items 😅

yes too early , u can see² only for now.. like shopee or any website u can put in cart first den if outside window shopping take picture maybe? u can buy the baby stuff at 7 mths or 6 but for sure not last min laaa 😅

I customised a baby romper in excitement early on. I'm going to do most of the buying late 2nd trimester, early 3rd trimester. Hubs and I waited until bb was more stable, past the 20-week detailed scan.

Too early for shopping 😃 But not to early for you to see around the, check the items, compare the price, make list. I did that too when i was on 14weeks. You will have exciting feeling go there.

Yes still too early to buy but no harm just taking a look first. You may start buying baby items after your detailed scan which is around week 20

IMO too early,but it's also good to go take a look before walking becomes a challenge later on haha. Don't buy anything yet,just see see
