When you tell your friends and family that you have a baby on the way, everybody wants to get involved. Everyone wants to jump in and buy you a gift or something that they think will be useful, and a lot of friends and relatives just want to buy something that they think your baby will look cute in so they can have a picture.
Now, even though we can see our loved ones again, a lot of people are still trying to minimize travel with the rise in case numbers, so you can expect to have lots of requests from people asking for tips for what they can order online for you. Here are a few easy requests.
A Cot
Let’s start with an item that has a bit of a price tag attached to it. One of the most important things that you will need to have for your baby is a cot that is sturdy and reliable. Right now, we are all feeling the pinch financially, so if a friend or family member is more comfortable paying for this, then don’t be afraid to ask.
A Stroller
Just like the cot, this is one of those items that is always going to set you back a decent chunk of money. The chances are that if you are expecting then you will already have one picked out, and if you have already had your baby then you probably have one that you’re using already. If not, then this is a good one to ask for financial support with. If asking for the full amount makes you uncomfortable, vouchers are always a strong option because every little helps.
Accessories That They Will Actually Use
The list of items that you need for your baby can seem like it is simply endless. You will need mittens, you will need bibs, you will need so many pairs of socks, and you will need an awful lot of blankets. When people ask you what gift you would like for your baby, then one of the best things to ask for is new accessories. If you want to make sure that these items are responsibly made with sustainable materials, Babysoy offer a range of items that fit the bill. From bibs to rompers, they’ve got you covered.
Babysitting
OK, so this one does not necessarily have a price tag on it, but it is so important that you remember to take some time for yourself to destress and relax with your partner. It can sometimes feel like you can’t even take your eye off your baby for a single moment, which is why you should never feel guilty about asking your friends and family for some babysitting support. Now that restrictions have lifted and we can go out to dinner again, why not ask your parents if they can come over and watch your baby while you and your partner enjoy a meal for just the two of you?
