Prenatal Shopping List

Shopping List for Baby and Expecting Mother

There is nothing more natural than wanting everything to be ready for your baby, isn’t there? During this time, I compiled a shopping list based on my own research and notes from books I read. I would like to share this list, which was tailored entirely to my own needs.

I purchased some items online or from abroad, but do not worry—you can easily find the same or similar products at major baby stores. Therefore, there is no need to worry about whether you will be able to find them.
