Magazines and the internet are full of "must-have" baby supplies, but
Only a small part of it was actually used...
I've heard a lot of stories like this from experienced moms.

When should I start preparing for childbirth?
The scientific reason why the seventh month of pregnancy is the best
82% of moms regret "preparing too late"
Ideal Schedule
"You're still six months pregnant, so you can wait a little longer before buying baby supplies, right?"
Just as I was thinking that, I realized I was eight months pregnant.
As my belly gets bigger, it's hard to buy baby supplies.
Plus there's a chance of premature birth...
In fact, 82% of senior moms
I regret not having prepared my birth supplies sooner .
So, when is the best time to start preparing your baby supplies?
[Ideal birth preparation schedule]
5-6 months pregnant: Collect information and create a list of birth preparation items
Morning sickness subsides and the risk of miscarriage decreases during this period.
Slowly start gathering information about baby preparation items.
First of all, it is important to know what kind of birth preparation items you will need.
Seven months pregnant: Considering and ordering large birth preparation items
Baby cribs, strollers, car seats, etc.
Choose larger baby planning items that take longer to ship.
At this time of year, you can still take your time comparing baby preparation items in stores.
First half of the eighth month of pregnancy: Purchasing basic birth preparation items
Underwear, diapers, nursing supplies, etc.
Prepare the necessary birth preparation items that you will need immediately after giving birth.
Start with the bare minimum and purchase additional birth preparation items as needed.
Why is this schedule ideal?
Firstly, it takes into account the changes in your physical condition during the later stages of pregnancy .
After nine months of pregnancy,
Abdominal distension and back pain can make it difficult to choose birth preparation items for long periods of time.
Secondly, it allows you ample time to compare and consider options .
Rather than rushing to buy baby supplies and then regretting it,
It is wise to take your time to choose and purchase baby preparation items that you will be satisfied with.
Preparation is like insurance.
Even if you don't use birth preparation products, there is great value in the sense of security.
[Survey of 3,000 people] About birth preparation items
10 things you really need
The secret of "loving preparation" as revealed by neonatal nurses
So, which birth preparation items should I buy?
When I look at parenting magazines,
All of these items are introduced as "essential" items for preparing for childbirth.
But in reality,
How many birth preparation items did you really need?
We asked 3,000 experienced moms
Introducing the ranking of "preparation items you really needed for childbirth."
[Absolutely essential! 100% used birth preparation items]
1st place: Short underwear/long underwear (6-8 pieces each)
“I needed it more than I thought I would because I change clothes multiple times a day!
It's a really useful item ."
Newborns may need to be changed 3-4 times a day due to vomiting and leaking poop.
Considering how often you wash your clothes, you'll need at least six.
2nd place: Gauze handkerchiefs (about 15 pieces)
"I use several sheets every day for burping after feeding, wiping drool, and bathing.
I can't raise my child without this! It's really useful ."
It gets dirty easily and needs to be washed frequently, so prepare plenty.
3rd place: Nursing pillow
“I feel bad when my arms get tired and the baby becomes unstable.
But with this, babies can drink it with peace of mind,
It's a godsend item that I've found very useful ever since I gave birth! "
[Necessary but no advance preparation required]
Baby bottles and formula:
"I was planning on exclusively breastfeeding, but ended up mixing."
Since breast milk production varies greatly from person to person, make sure to check your situation after giving birth before purchasing.
Baby Bedding Set:
"At first, he was sleeping with his mom, so I bought it after three months."
It's easier to breastfeed a newborn baby if you sleep next to them. There's no need to rush it; just wait and see.
[70% of people regret buying things they didn't actually need!]
Newborn socks:
"If you put long underwear on them, their legs will be warm and they'll come off easily."
Baby Bath:
"The bathroom sink was enough. It takes up space and the usage period is short..."
Newborn Toys:
"For the first 1-2 months, he just slept. He didn't use it at all."
Why are there so many "unnecessary birth preparation items"?
One of the reasons is the short neonatal period .
The neonatal period is up to one month after birth.
Considering the cost-effectiveness, birth preparation items that are only for this short period of time are not very necessary.
[Three principles of smart preparation]
Principle 1: Start with the bare minimum
If you are unsure, choose "Purchase after giving birth and see how it goes."
If you need it urgently, you can order online and have it delivered the next day.
Principle 2: Substitute what can be substituted
There are many substitutes that can be used even if they are not dedicated products.
Example: Baby bath → sink, dedicated hanger → adult S-shaped hook
Principle 3: Make use of rentals and borrowing
Consider renting items that you will only need for a short period of time.
Don't hesitate to borrow from acquaintances.
Let go of the pressure to be perfectly prepared.
The stance of "start with the bare minimum and gradually improve"
As a result, it is the most economical and practical method.
[True Story] "I regret buying these baby products"
Top 10 Rankings
675 people confessed
"I didn't need any of these birth preparation items."
I bought the birth preparation items thinking "for the baby," but...
I ended up feeling guilty about not using it...
There are many experienced mothers who have had such heartbreaking experiences.
675 senior moms confess honestly
Here is a ranking of "baby preparation items that people regret buying."
[No. 1 regret: Baby bed (78% regret)]
Voice of a senior mother:
"It was expensive birth preparation equipment, but in the end, all I did was co-sleeping.
It was difficult to get up every time my baby cried at night, so I stopped using it after three months.
It takes up space,
I wish I could have spent the money I spent on these baby supplies elsewhere."
(Ms. A, 29 years old)
Why regret?
During the newborn period, babies need to be breastfed frequently, so it is easier to co-sleep.
The cost-effectiveness is poor because the maternity supplies are expensive despite only being used for a short period of time.
[Second most regretted purchase: Breast pump (71% regret)]
"I had prepared birth supplies with the intention of exclusively breastfeeding,
In reality, it was all mixed up and I didn't use it at all.
I was determined to breastfeed my baby..."
(Bmi, 26 years old)
Why regret?
Breast milk production varies greatly from person to person and is impossible to predict in advance.
Baby preparation items that should be purchased after observing the postpartum situation.
[3rd place in regret rate: Newborn toys and mobiles (regret rate: 68%)]
"I bought it because it was a cute baby preparation item, but
Newborns can't see very well and spend most of their time sleeping.
It wasn't until three months later that he started to show interest." (C. Kaori, 31 years old)
[4th place in regret rate: Baby bathtub (regret rate 65%)]
"Even though I'll only be using it for a month, it's surprisingly expensive and takes up a lot of space.
The sink was enough, I could have just rented one.”
(Megumi D, 28 years old)
[5th most regretted purchase: Newborn socks and mittens (62% regret)]
"It was so cute that I bought a lot of things,
His socks come off easily and he doesn't like to wear mittens either.
Just underwear was enough indoors."
(Ms. E, 25 years old)
[Items that were really useful!]
Nail clippers and cotton swabs:
"It's reassuring to have something just for babies.
I use it every day and it's really useful! "
Swaddling blankets:
"When holding the baby, putting the baby to sleep, keeping warm when going out...
It was really convenient and useful to have one ."
Nursing light (small light):
"Great for breastfeeding in the middle of the night!
It's not too bright and not too dark, I never thought it would be so useful ."
Why do you regret buying these baby products?
There are three common reasons:
1. The usage period is shorter than expected
The newborn period is about one month. Preparing for birth for this short period is
Cost performance tends to be poor.
2. You can't predict your baby's personality in advance.
Some babies sleep well, some don't sleep much, some drink breast milk well, some don't...
There are many things you can't know until you're born.
3. I chose it just because it was cute.
The baby preparation items I chose were chosen with an emphasis on appearance rather than functionality.
The reality is that it is often impractical.
[The secret to choosing baby supplies you won't regret]
Tip 1: Identify the baby preparation items that are purchased after giving birth
Breast pumps, baby bottles, cribs, etc.
There are surprisingly many birth preparation items that you can decide on after seeing how things go after giving birth.
Tip 2: Use rental baby supplies
Baby beds, baby baths, baby scales, etc.
It is wise to rent maternity supplies that you will only need for a short period of time.
Tip 3: Focus on the "real voices" of experienced mothers
From the magazine's "Recommended Baby Preparation Items"
It can be helpful to read the opinions of experienced mothers you know about the birth preparation products they have actually used.
The most important thing is,
The feeling of "for the baby" is wonderful, but
The key is to calmly determine what birth preparation items you really need .
By reducing unnecessary birth preparation items,
You'll be able to spend more money on the baby supplies that are truly important.
How to choose seasonal baby preparation items

Necessary birth preparation items that change depending on the month of birth and tips for room temperature control
What should I prepare for a baby born in the spring?
"I need to think about the items I need to prepare for childbirth in the summer and the air conditioner..."
Even with the same birth preparation items, the season in which the baby is born can affect
Did you know that what you need can change dramatically?
In fact, as a result of purchasing baby supplies without considering the season,
"It's too hot to dress him," "It's too cold, so I rushed out to buy more clothes."
I have heard many experienced mothers say this.
[Baby preparation supplies strategy for spring-born babies (March-May)]

・Blanket: They get warm so they are used for a short period of time.
"It's difficult to choose baby supplies in spring because the weather is unpredictable."
It's no wonder so many moms feel that way.
The trick to preparing for a baby born in spring is to "adjust the layers."
Rather than one thick item, choose baby preparation items that can be layered with thin ones to adjust the fit.

× Surprisingly unnecessary baby preparation items:
・Long underwear: It's too hot and I rarely have the opportunity to wear it.

As long as the indoor heating was good, it was surprisingly okay to wear light clothing .
"I realized that room temperature control is more important than baby preparation supplies" (Yukina, 28 years old)
[Tips for managing room temperature by season]
Ideal room temperature: 18-22°C, humidity 50-60%
If you can maintain this environment, your birth preparation supplies will be simple, regardless of the season.
Spring and autumn: Natural ventilation + heating and cooling as needed
Summer: Air conditioner set to 28 degrees + circulator
