Buying things before Baby arrives

In our culture many people consider buying new things until they have their babies, could be unfortunate.
Before Namkaran ceremony ,people generaly used clothes of older children or cousins of relatives or neighbors
but time has changed and peoples too,pregnancies are easy and deliveries are much safer now

Buying and arranging things ahead of time lightens your burden later on, it becomes difficult for mothers to go out once baby arrives.

Only thing to consider is to just by the Basics in the begining and then look for other products according to your necessity in coming months
