Cristiancjb Posted September 19, 2019 Author Share Posted September 19, 2019 And by the way, a question to all parents: What are the most important things according to you, to have when getting a baby? Specially if there are things that are not super obvious but can facilitate the whole experience of having a baby in Thailand Thanks for all advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayaout Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 The breast pump is not that usefull. My wife stoped using it after 2-3 days. Good washable diaper with bamboo sheet are a must. https://s.lazada.co.th/s.Z9Xue https://s.lazada.co.th/s.Z9W5n If you use a breast pump then a sterilizator is also a must: https://s.lazada.co.th/s.Z9Xum I also buy a lot of baby wipe: https://s.lazada.co.th/s.Z91fi Light bulb without blue light to prevent disturbing sleep hormone (melatonin): https://www.amazon.com/Blocking-Melatonin-Production-Healthy-Replacement/dp/B07VQM3VC5 Baby powder, Vaseline and some plastic sheet to change the kid. Everything in plastic should be BPA free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayaout Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Also an electric hammock is pretty usefull. I call it the sleeping machine. https://s.lazada.co.th/s.Z9eI0 He also has a shaking baby chair that is usefull when he don't want to sleep.

naboo Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Fill your trolley at I S Baby Shop. They have good quality western stuff (at the standard high prices) then cheap Chinese copies around the corner in another aisle. An invaluable shop when mine was younger. edit: It now appears to be called Chiang Mai Baby Shop. Not sure if it is still as good as it was.

timendres Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Congratulations. Sincere wishes that your child is born healthy. The most important thing for me was sufficient "bonding" time with my son. A good air purifier would be a solid investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerox Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 December? Air Purifiers, Masks etc. For the baby just keep it indoors for mid-January till mid-May with Air Purifier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayaout Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 On the subject of air purifier I got this one: https://s.lazada.co.th/s.Z9SFV It is very silent and I would reccomemd it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Smith Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Nappies & plenty of them. For our first born, me & the wife decided on eco friendly traditional cotton nappies & lots of them, or so we thought. On the first night home from the hospital, we couldn't believe how quickly he went through them! Don't know if it was a reaction to the formula the hospital used, or a reaction to his mother's milk, but it was one liquid squirt after another, all night long! Be prepared ????

So what kind of eco nappies did you get in Thailand and from where? I want to try to go as eco as I can and would be nice with some suggestions.

Have rolls of soft cotton fabric that you can cut to size. But stock up on "pampers" too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falang1969 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 We are having our 2nd kid next month, but from previous experience..... A breast pump is a great bit of kit, my Mrs loved it and used it to store milk in the fridge. Get a decent electric one, the manual ones are rubbish, we have the Philips Avent which is good. Definitely invest in a decent air purifier, if it's as bad as this year, everyone had sold out in stores and online, especially decent ones, we have a couple of Philips AC3259's that are excellent. Pushchairs, prams and car seats can be expensive here, bought ours over from the UK. Hope it all goes well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
