Products Not to Buy Too Early

Some purchases are best made after you know your baby's size, preferences and daily routine. Waiting is a useful decision, not poor preparation.

Often worth postponing

• Large stocks of one diaper or bottle.
• Many newborn-size outfits.
• Specialised feeding equipment without a clear need.
• Bulky gear that has not been measured for your home or car.

Keep a small reserve budget; the most useful purchase often becomes obvious only after birth.
