Shopping For Your Baby in Portland
The thrill of buying your very first time items for your baby is almost overwhelming, but try to resist the urge to buy out the whole store. You should stock up on the basics now and shop for other items later on when you require them. It is very important to consider the practicality of major items before you purchase them. Also, consider buying some secondhand items; you can find them in good conditions. However, items that might be damaged by previous use should be bought new, for example: car seats.
Control yourself and buy only a few outfits in newborn size. Your baby will probably outgrow them very quickly. Four stretch suits, 2 nightdresses or sleep suits, 4 cotton undershirts, 3 sweaters, 1 hat and mittens should be enough to start with. Buying nearly new clothes and equipment from friends is a great idea. Sometimes friends and family are done having babies and are wanting to get rid of items they will not need any longer.
