From the experts at Studio Belize® - Design Studio for Baby Products:
The imminent arrival of your baby raises the question: Which things are really necessary for the first equipment to survive the first exhausting weeks in the best possible way? In this blog post, we name the essential things you really need for your baby's arrival. We reveal valuable tips & parenting experiences.
When should you get the baby first equipment?
It is recommended to get the baby first equipment from the 30th week of pregnancy to be relaxed well prepared. Around the 30th week, pregnant women are still mobile and have the ability to run errands in a reasonable manner. When planning your errands, keep in mind that some items, like the stroller, take a longer time to purchase and may also have longer delivery times of up to three months.
Don't worry too much about it! You can take a relaxed approach to buying the initial equipment. However, start early enough.

Of course, basic clothes, care products and diapers are essential. However, remember that there are also utensils such as baby monitors or diaper bags, which you can also get at your leisure after the birth or have given to you as a gift for the birth.
