As the big day approaches, it’s time to stock up on the everyday essentials you’ll need when your bundle of joy arrives. Make sure to buy a good breast pump to help out with early feeding struggles, lots of nappies, and your nursery furniture.
It’s also a good time to buy a good changing bag, which can easily double up as your hospital bag to carry baby’s things. As your bump continues to grow, a supportive belly band is a must-have!
