6 tips for putting together the trousseau of your dreams

Before you read any tip, it is always important that you keep in mind that you should always think about what you want and what is the best way to do it, because the child is yours and you must fulfill your dreams.

So, stop for a moment and think about what you always wanted to do when that moment came and apply all the tips in a way that has all your personality in that layette. 

Organize in advance

The first and most valuable tip is to always start organizing yourself well in advance, but don't rush. It is recommended that you always wait until you are more than 12 weeks pregnant to start organizing yourself.

Of course, if you are a more anxious person and want to start earlier, you can buy items that every newborn baby needs, such as a crib, bed sheets, blankets, and more expensive items such as strollers, car seats, and even a walker.

After the 12th week, start organizing everything you need and start thinking about how you prefer to put together this layette: whether you will use new or pre-owned items, what colors you will use, and whether you will have a baby shower to receive items and help out. Always plan ahead.

Make a list

Another thing that will help you a lot is to always make a list of everything your baby will need and if possible separate it into categories, as it is important that you always make sure that you have not forgotten anything and this way it will be much easier.

Categories that are important for you to remember are:

Clothes: bodysuits, panties or underwear, socks, jackets, hats, hospital gowns, overalls, etc. Don't forget to always think about clothes for cold weather and hot weather.

Hygiene products: Wet wipes, diapers, cotton, cotton swab, bath, thermometer, diaper rash ointment, soap, shampoo and comb.

Room: crib, mosquito net, pillow, blanket, hangers, dresser and baby monitor.

Food: bib, baby bottle, bottle cleaning brush, baby food plate, children's cutlery, high chair and extra nipples for bottles.

You can also create other categories that you think are important, such as bedroom decor or even a birthday bag, so you don't forget any important items.

Combine the items

A good tip is to think about combining items, whether they are decorations or even clothes. For example: if you are having a baby shower, it is a good idea to choose a color palette so that everything looks better together later.

Choosing neutral colors is always the best option, as it matches everything and it is also easier to find items later that look good in that environment.

Priority to the most necessary

Once you have your list of everything you need to make the layette of your dreams, it is important that you also make a list of everything else that is most necessary.

Focus on items such as hygiene products, which are things that the child will use as soon as they are born. Also choose items such as cribs, bathtubs, and warm and cold weather clothing as a priority, as these are all things that the child will use from day one.

Invest in quality products

Investing in good quality products is a very valuable tip. Of course, not everyone can do this, but whenever you can, do it. We often end up choosing cheaper items, but they won't last as long as a higher quality item and you'll end up spending more in the long run.

Also, remember that everything you are buying is an investment in your little one who is coming and that he or she deserves the best. You can also find high-quality items at thrift stores at excellent prices.

Have a baby shower

Having a baby shower, gender reveal party or diaper party (or whatever you prefer to call it) is a great chance to get lots of treats for your child and save money.

Choose someone you trust and ask for help organizing your baby shower. You can ask for various items such as hygiene products, food and even clothes. It depends on what you prefer, so invest in this, because in addition to saving money, people love to be a part of and pamper the baby that is coming.
