What I have learned about shopping for my baby

I used to think shopping for my son will be the same as getting my 

things but no no no!. These are
what I have learnt about shopping for him

- Make a list:

I learnt the hard way when I thought I could remember everything I 

needed to get. I guess I got distracted by something that I forgot 

to get the most important thing I needed. Since then, I always go 

with a list even if it is just 5 items.

- Buy in bulk:

There are some items I buy in bulk like wipes, toiletries, hand wash

 and related items.


- Buy a size bigger:

I buy bigger sizes of his clothes because babies grow so fast and I 

don't want to keep going to get more or coming home to discover it 

is too tight. 

- Check out reviews:

When I want to start using another product I always checkout reviews

of the new product.

- Ask the doctor:

 Apart from reviews, I also ask his doctor because I may not know

 what exactly to get. The internet has a lot of suggestions but it's

 also good to get professional help.

- Ask questions: 

I learnt to always ask questions in the store. They may not have in 

it the shelf or they may have rearranged their items so I just ask 

any of the assistants and they either go get it or tell me when they

will have it.

- Average budget:

I don't get the most expensive items, I always have a rough idea of

how much I will be spending because babies stuff are so cute and if

you are not careful you will end up buying a whole lot... well if

you want to you can.

- Reward system:

This is ideal for saving. The pharmacy (Aster pharmacy) and baby 

store (baby shop) I get his things from have a nice reward system.

- Expiry date: 

Always check the expiry date.

- Colorful items:

I discovered he is more attracted to colorful items than plain/black

 and white items so I try to get more colorful things for him.
