I am not so sure as yet about bassinets, cribs or cots. Not this early. Maybe once the kid is here, and if I see that I cannot manage to keep the kid with me on my bed, (which I would want to anyway, regardless of all the reasons I shouldnt ) I dont know I feel odd sleeping on my huge bed and not having some place for my kid For baby’s own bedding, and keeping in mind the hazard of what if I roll over, I am looking forward to get this.

Tell me if it will suffice for atleast for some weeks so that the baby isnt fragile anymore. And then I will arrange a crib

we used that bed for many months. well, until he outgrew it, basically. its amazing for co-sleeping!

The swaddling, we here have our own desi way of swaddling, and since it is mom’s duty, I am not going to poke my nose
Bathing will also be handled by the elders, i.e. mom, MIL (if she wishes), aunts, and even the old and experienced maids of the house or ayaas who are good at it. I definately have to arrange mothercare/johnsons collection of baby shampoo, oil, soap, powder and stuff. Instead of buying a set I might go for individual gaint size bottles which may stay longer.

Well I dont have much in my hands since there are already many to take care of my baby here, I guess I would have to leave me and my baby on their mercy already

its lovely that you have so much help, but you should definitely learn how to bathe your baby, change him, etc. on your own. its important! and also, these are all very special moments with the baby- YOUR baby- so don’t miss out! share the responsibilities with your mom, MIL, ayaas, etc. but don’t shy away from asking for your own time doing them. i guess this will make sense once the bubba is here and you feel that incredible rush of love

Obviously I will be around. I am not even sure if I will let anyone whom I dont trust even handle my kid. Its jsut that the kids being too fragile. The bathing things etc maybe I will learn and then get my hands at :D
