PREPRATION FOR BABY ARRIVAL

Dear new mom; go on a shopping tour before your child arrives so you can choose things yourselves rather than rely on others. Best time to do this is the end of eighth month or the beginning of ninth month. You can avoid buying what you already have; either from your previous child or gifts from relatives and friends. Prefer cotton clothes over synthetic fabrics which can make the baby uncomfortable.
