Preparing for baby: The essentials shopping list
One thing you will quickly realize about having a baby is there are many things you will need to feed, clothe, protect, and amuse him or her.
Before you spend money on things you don’t really need, have a look at our list of the essentials. You may be able to borrow some items from friends or family, but make sure any second-hand items (especially something like a crib) meet minimum current safety standards. Some products, like car seats, actually have an expiry date, beyond which it’s not safe to use them.
Health Canada has up-to-date information on product safety that will be helpful.
