I think i missed the point about toys .. I didnt have to buy toys coz friends gifted us the basic ones .. the ones you get from ASDA and teeny weeny noisy little things nothing too complicated .. I introduced noisy toys from two weeks on , but realized he wouldnt budge.. simply no interest from him .. then at a month and a half he started kicking his legs at the sight of the toys ! actually just one toy that I had named Happy ! it was a little noisy thing , more like a teether !

I think you should wait for any toys coz kids have their own personality and you can buy them toys based on that.

you can go out with the baby as soon as you feel healthy and recovered . Mine was a bit complicated recovery plus I was on my own so it took me about three months but i did go to the doctors and minor shopping from two weeks after birth , as soon as you can stand up really. If its really really cold outside , for the protection of the baby against the weather you might wanna wait until a few more weeks , but if you are confident the baby will remain warm and safe , then feel free to take him out as and when you like .. when they are born they are pretty delicate , but they toughen up a bit around 6 weeks of age..

I got hats and mittens and socks and guess what , every sleep suit had a set of mittens attached to it ! and at home he never needed mittens .. someone gifted us a new baby clothing set and it had mittens in it too ! honestly you wont need them coz if you will be swaddling the baby, his hands will be nicely tucked in ! if you want mitts to protect his nails scratching his face , then you can buy a pair ..

socks not needed until summers ! or until baby turns 6 months .. which ever comes first ! coz all sleeps suits have feet .. no socks needed
I had a snuggle socks pair for 3-6 months size .. it was gifted by someone , I used to got those on son’s feet on top of the sleep suit , while going out , just to secure him coz he hated swaddling !

hats are an absolute must .. you need them to keen them warm even in the house ! so yeah get a pair of those .. the size changes quickly , a pair should do at any given time ..

Thank you! Answered all my queries…will be bugging you with some more as the time passes
