Baby Gift Ideas

Dear all friends & relatives,

Well, I'm always a straight forward person, that wont feel 'pai sei' to ask for gifts. So here I came out of a list of gifts that you can buy for my little princess. Some I already bought it myself or there are kind parents 'donate' for me. Will also include the price as a guide for your budget.

• Pram/stroller

• Car seat

• Baby cot

• Play pen. (RM 180 – RM 1000)

• Bottle steamer/ sterilizer

• Breast pump – excellent piece for breastfeeding mums. Better don't buy it if you have no idea on how it works.

• Ear thermometer – a necessity caring parents must have. Very useful when the child is down with fever and parents need this to monitor the temperature. (RM 90 – RM 200)

• Baby carrier/ infant car seat – need it to travel my baby from my house to my mum's house when I'm driving alone. Better choose an O+ group. (RM180 – RM 800)

• Baby clothing – preferably 6 months onwards. Babies normally outgrow their clothing very fast and it's always advisable to buy bigger size clothes.

• Mitten and booties – mothers do not mind additional pairs because during the first three months, their babies just love the fingers and the change over are very fast. Furthermore, babies like to practise 'kung fu' during these months; mitten will prevent them from scratching their face. Of course I will be appreciating if you can get a cute one.

• Baby disposable diaper – I am sure every mum does not mind receiving more of this. A bigger size may be appropriate. DO NOT BUY NEWBORN

• Reusable nappies – I think I had enough of this, but if you have extra one want to 'donate', I won't mind.

• Baby developmental toy – this may not be useful immediately, but definitely a playmate for the baby as he grows.

• Child caring books for first time mother. – have enough reference books

• Books on baby food recipe.

• Baby sling – most probably for my hubby use it. lol

• Diaper bag – with good compartment and nice design will be appreciate

• Cooler case – a working mother and would like to breastfeed after going back to work may need it.

• Bottle warmer – to warm the breast milk after freeze.

• Mosquito net – Malaysia is full of fierce mosquitoes.

• Bibs - this is useful when the baby grows and their saliva drips non-stop! Again, would be appreciating if you can get a cute one.

Some of the prices still not sure, will find it out and update it. Anything that I missed out will also update in future. Some of these are really expensive, so you not necessary have to buy it yourself but can share with others. So do discuss among your group and let me know what will you buy, so the gift wont be repeated. Get what I mean?? Haha, I'm always very 'honest' in getting presents.
