I have a very tight budget, what are the most important things I need to buy for my baby?
There are some things that you must have before you leave the hospital with your baby. If your baby is born at home the community midwife will want to see that you have these things. They are: A hat. 30% of the baby’s body heat is lost through their head, it is important that they wear a hat when introduced to the big wide world, and doubly important in the winter. Milk. Breastfeeding your baby provides countless benefits to both you and your baby and is free! Formula milk is a good substitute, but there is a cost involved, the bottles have to be sterilised, formula made up, etc. Vests and sleepsuits. These can be bought for very little these days. Sleepsuits can be included in your BabyBluebird gift box. If you have a car, or if your baby will be carried by car at any time: A baby car seat. All of the car seats stocked by BabyBluebird have the latest safety features and represent very good value. Car seats vary enormously in how they fit individual cars. Please see the first question,
