Usually, more experienced girlfriends and zealous relatives, ahead of time, begin to give their advice on what to buy. And often, from such an abundance of recommendations, expectant mothers begin to “run their eyes” and begin to think that before you start buying things for the unborn child, you will first have to prepare several cabinets. But in fact, many purchases are not included in the list of things for the newborn, they are only a pleasant and pleasing to the eye addition.
