The superstition that things for the kid need to be bought only after his birth appeared in an extreme antiquity. At that time not each childbirth came to an end safely therefore future mothers tried not to draw attention to themselves once again, being afraid of influence of evil spirits.
Instruction
1. Modern women follow this sign more and more seldom and seek to be prepared for the birth of the kid to the maximum. First, much more quietly when children's things are washed, stroked and spread accurately out on regiments. Secondly, future dad will not need to run on shops, having armed with the list while his family is in maternity hospital. And, at last, conflict probability for the reason that mom did not like the things bought by dad, is practically absent.
2. You should not buy a dowry for the kid right after you saw treasured two strips on the test. Refrain from purchases at least to the middle of term. The first trimester – the most dangerous period in development of a fruit, is better to endure it in a quiet situation without excess reasons for a stress. If it is absolutely impossible to refrain from purchases, make the list of necessary things, decide on models and flowers, read responses and plan a nursery interior.
3. In the second trimester of pregnancy in most cases parents already know a sex of the kid. It is a high time to take care of purchase of large-size things: carriages, beds, car seats, changing table, etc. Nobody forces you to buy all this in the first days of shopping. Visit several different shops, ask the price, compare options, test a carriage on maneuverability and convenience of driving, study data on crash tests when choosing a chair. If fears of superstitions haunt you, know that it is impossible to hold a bed and a carriage empty. Put in them toys and be quiet.
4. Since the third trimester, development of the kid passes into a closing stage. Concerns on health of the child are replaced by experiences about whether everything things are included in the list of necessary purchases, whether there will be enough time for arrangement of the nursery, etc. Get a mattress, bedding and linen. From the very first days you will need bathing accessories: bath, water thermometer, means for washing, children's soap, soft towel. Stock up with means of hygiene: wet towel wipes, diapers for newborns (do not forget to buy a small pack in maternity hospital), oilcloths and diapers. From children's cosmetics buy cream under a diaper, a milk for a body, Q-tips and disks and also children's powder, means for washing of ware or baking soda. Collect a children's first-aid kit, let there will be means of prime necessity: febrifugal drugs, hydrogen peroxide, brilliant green, means against gripes, pipettes, the thermometer, an aspirator for a nose, grasses for bathing.
5. Buy small bottles with antikolikovy valves, to steam of dummies for children since the birth, rattles and the mobile on a bed. For the first months from clothes 4-5 high overshoes, slips or baby's undershirts, as much a romper suit, 2 caps, 2 pairs of socks, mittens mittens quite will be enough for you. For an exit to the street buy warm overalls, bootees and a hat. Choosing things, take the sizes, since 52-56. Do not take too much, children very quickly grow.
