Second stage of pregnancy (13-28 weeks)
After the early 3-4 months of pregnancy resentment, the expectant mother enters the most comfortable middle stage of pregnancy. During this period, you can let go of all kinds of worries in the early stage of pregnancy and enjoy the joy of nurturing a new life. Remember to go through the birth procedures (family planning service certificate, birth acceptance certificate), determine the delivery hospital and establish files, and conduct prenatal examinations according to time. If you have time, you can participate in pregnant women's classes (generally there are free hospitals), or go online to learn maternity and birth knowledge (it is recommended to learn parenting knowledge in the late stage, so you can forget about pregnancy quickly), and be well prepared to welcome the arrival of the baby.
The body of expectant mothers in the middle of pregnancy has changed significantly, and they need to buy underwear and clothing for pregnant women. Because the body changes rapidly during pregnancy and with the change of seasons, there is no need for too much clothing, enough to change it. It is best to take into account the needs of breastfeeding and improve utilization. Some looser clothes can also be worn as maternity clothes, especially in the cold winter (many girls wear their husbands’ clothes).
Xiao R has bought two brands of underwear, such as Xi (October Mommy Side Brand) and Bravado: Youxi’s price is very affordable, their underwear is very comfortable and their bras are average; the tall Bravado is naturally very comfortable, but the price is also high. It is recommended to buy it according to the situation (the size of the breast during pregnancy will generally increase by 2 sizes, which will change a lot).

Maternity outfit with breastfeeding opening can also be worn after delivery. The horizontal opening is more convenient, and the vertical opening must be opened larger to be easier to use. Pants in maternity clothes generally have adjustable elastic bands, which can be used to lengthen the elastic bands as the abdominal circumference increases, which is very convenient. If it is summer, you can also choose a long dress suitable for pregnant women, and expectant mothers should also be beautiful.
Xiao R is born in summer. I bought gauze pajamas during pregnancy. I don’t worry about the cold in the air-conditioned room. I feel very comfortable during confinement. Because the whole body is hurt after delivery, the skin is very sensitive to small friction (even if it is a cotton fabric), only those who wear gauze will feel nothing. The disadvantage of this pajama is that it has a poor breastfeeding hole design, a difficult vertical hole, and it is very harsh and layered. Finally, my mother will remove and sew it all together. The gauze is not washable and will rot after wearing for two months, but it is really comfortable. There are many options available on Taobao, many of which are OEMs. After buying it several times, Xiao R has only been satisfied with it. I won’t put the link here. When expectant mothers buy it, they remember to choose shipping insurance.
Another thing that expectant mothers are very worried about during pregnancy, which is stretch marks. There are different opinions on the Internet. Some say that applying olive oil is effective (Xiao R colleague tested it personally), and some say that this is natural. It is okay for people who cannot grow up to do nothing, and it is useless to apply anything to the president. Xiao R asked his mother if she had ever had any, and she said she didn't know what stretch marks were. However, a best friend happened to send half a tube of Clarins' cream. Xiao R used it to wipe his belly for no reason. In the end, his belly was still smooth and smooth without long lines (but there seemed to be some thighs, and the old and the new were not clear). ps. Clarins' cream is very heavy and is enough for two expectant mothers to use during pregnancy.

late pregnancy (29-40 weeks)
In the late pregnancy, are you eager to start buying and buying mode?
Before sharing Xiao R's shopping list, as a experienced person, I want to say more, compared to raising children, buying and hoarding goods is actually very simple. Aunt Zhang searches a lot of experience posts here, and it is not much worse to read any one. I really don't need to spend too much time and energy. Every mother has different situations, and every baby has different preferences. Only by experiencing them personally can you know what is suitable and is the best. Xiao R thinks it is more important to spend more time learning parenting knowledge and accompany your baby and family (the next article will be discussed slowly).
--==Mom's supplies==--
1. Digital devices: Large-screen mobile phone + Bluetooth headset
It is strongly recommended to change to a mobile phone that is easy to use and can replace computers (communication, online shopping, information acquisition and audio and video entertainment and other functions) before production, because after giving birth, the mother is almost day and night and cannot sit in front of the computer (you can't buy happily, the new mother will definitely be unhappy and very unhappy!).
Bluetooth headset is recommended by Xiao R. Xiao R has always had a headache about the problem of ordinary headset wire entanglement. It takes a long time to solve it every time, which is very unhappy! I have also paid attention to Bluetooth headphones before, but the technology was not as good as it is now, and the headphones can only make phone calls but not listen to music. Later, I saw the information about the special price of M165 in Aunt Zhang. I read the introduction and said I could use it to listen to music and I bought it! I usually listen to music on the way to and from get off work to relax. More importantly, after having a baby, I found that I was coaxing the baby to hold the baby every day, and my hands couldn't be idle. I wanted to find some entertainment but was afraid of disturbing my baby, so my headphones came in handy at this time~~~ It can be used to listen to music, radio programs, audio books, or secretly watch movies and watch dramas (I won't tell you how I finished "Langya Bang" while coaxing my baby)... In short, this is the most valuable thing Xiao R thought I bought (later, during the warranty period, the headphones broke, and the bad headphones, invoices and packaging boxes were sent to the after-sales service, and they changed to a brand new one for me). After buying a car at home, I bought another one for LG to call when driving. My husband has a lot of calls at work, and answering calls with headphones is both convenient and reduces radiation, which is very practical.

I have to say it again here. It is really convenient and convenient to have Bluetooth headsets. Not only can you listen to music and lectures on the way to and from get off work, but more importantly, you can't open your hands when you are walking to and holding the baby, but when the phone rings and you have to answer, Bluetooth headsets can help you~~~ Recommended for cracked walls!
2. Anti-spray breast pad
This is still necessary to prepare a pack of it (36 pieces used by Xiao R) to prevent the milk from leaking everywhere.

3. Nipple protection cream
Xiao R bought Lansinoh with the flow. It is indeed effective, but the dosage is very cheap. A tube of 40g cannot be used at all (use it a few times during confinement, and it is not necessary if the skin is thick. You can't apply a thick layer, and the baby always feels it is not good to eat it in his mouth). It is recommended that the richest man buy two small bags to try it out.

4. Maternal sanitary napkins, disposable underwear, nursing pads, etc.
These are mainly used in the first week after delivery. Xiao R's hospital designated Kaili waiting bag (exclusively provided by the hospital), and all the packages are done. I bought disposable underwear at a maternal and child store, as long as it can be used. In addition, you need to prepare some sanitary napkins for confinement period until the lochia is exhausted.
5. Breast pump
Xiao R has no intention of carrying milk, so he bought the manual New Anyi for the breast pump, which has a good reputation and will still be a little tired. The breast pump is mainly used to deal with the situation of blockage during confinement, but Xiao R found that it is actually the easiest for the baby to suck the breast when blocking the milk. Sometimes the breast pump is too strong and it is easy to damage the breast. Later, Medele's electric power was also used, which is indeed very convenient and labor-saving. However, our baby never drinks the milk he sucked out, only eats it with his parents. Dear moms, please choose according to the situation.

Items mentioned: confinement clothes, breastfeeding bra
Items that are not used: abdominal belt, confinement toothbrush (use the Lion King soft-bristled toothbrush)

[Milk powder, diapers]
Milk powder and diapers are big investors in daily expenses for raising babies. When the baby was born in the hospital for a few days, the hospital provided milk powder. After being discharged, it kept breastfeeding all over, so the money to buy milk powder was saved.
As for diapers, the three major Japanese brands Kao, Moony (Unigara) and Dawang have all used them. Little R's baby is big and grows fast. After 2 packs of NB codes and 4 packs of S codes, I changed my M codes for reference. Moms don't need to stock up too much.Except for using a trial test in a certain country in the hospital, the baby has never had any problems with these three brands of diapers. I personally feel that the moony has the best cost-effectiveness and is the best use; the king's one is a little bigger, and the legs are a little loose, and I'm worried about leakage of urine; although Kao has the best reputation, the price is also relatively high, and there are many fakes at the same time. Our boys always use Kao with the bulging front and the back, which feels very uncomfortable. Anyway, Xiao R feels it can't be worth it, so he still loves Moony. After the baby was eight months old, I saw Aunt Zhang recommending Daddy Baby. After trying it, I felt that it was not worse than Moony. The average L size of the product is 1 yuan per piece, so I don’t feel bad when I use it. So I started to use Daddy during the day and use Kao
at night to give birth to a baby. Before Xiao R had considered whether to use traditional diapers, and specially prepared some spares. Later, I found that this was completely useless. In addition to being a bit more expensive, diapers have far more advantages than diapers. Moms should not worry about themselves and their families. In a word, just use diapers!
[Eating and Drinking Supplies]
1. When Xiao R was stocking up, he bought Xin'anyi's natural native series. Because the baby did not eat milk powder, he only used the bottle included in the breast pump (mainly used as a cup) and nothing else was used. Fortunately, I didn't stock up too much (just buy 2 for a while). Friends around me recommend the Japanese local version of the breast milk real-sensing series, which is highly accepted. p=""
2. Milk powder grid . You can prepare one if you eat milk powder or not. After our family eats complementary food, we can use it to fill rice noodles. It is convenient to carry it out and
3. Bottle disinfection and dryer . The little white bear we use for our family has a better capacity. It is mainly used to disinfect breast pumps and is not used frequently.

4. Constant Temperature Milk Mixer My friend said it was very useful and I gave one, especially when I make milk powder at night in winter, I don’t need hot water and cold water to mix it. A pot of water is kept there and it is ready to use. But our baby is still in breast milk and has not been used yet.
5. When I was stocking up on bottle detergent, I bought a Beiqin guy. It was idle. I wonder if I could use it to wash toys?
6.Tabletsp (spoon) Munkkin's spoon is very famous. Xiao R uses 2 packs (more commonly 6 packs) and is very soft and very useful, and has been repurchased.

7. Complementary Food Grinding Bowl Grinding Bowl will not be used after the baby starts to eat complementary food for 6 months. However, when stocking up, I bought it together. NUK is very useful and is suitable for grinding fruits and sweet potatoes, pumpkins and other rhizomes.

【Clothing】
1. Onesie The baby's clothes don't need to be prepared too much. First, the growth rate during the newborn period is very fast, and the clothes will quickly become smaller; second, relatives and friends around you will give some clothes, and expectant mothers can prepare 2-3 pieces of clothes . babies' clothes are marked by their height. Each baby's growth rate is different. 's code number is not accurate by month. newborns are usually 52cm and 59cm. Our baby wears 59cm as soon as he is born, and basically changes to 66cm after the confinement period, so there is no need to wear too much clothes. Xiao R bought a onesie for his baby, and the Ying's second-brand pickup bubble recommended by a friend, all of which are very good in the materials. The price is good when doing the event. I wrote a special trolley + onesie sheet before. Interested mothers can take a look.

2. Coating Coating is a must-have for newborns, it can be used as a swaddle or a small quilt. Xiao R bought only one and it was enough. The cotton was very comfortable and the size was appropriate. If you are born in winter, it is recommended to choose a thick one.

Here is a science to popularize the functions of "swagging clothes": 0-3 months old babies have a frightening reflex. When sleeping, they will suddenly twitch all over their body, which is a bit like an electric shock, and then they wake up and cry. Wraping clothes can effectively solve this problem and make the baby sleep better. Swabbing clothes can be wrapped in ordinary quilts. Expected mothers with sufficient budget can also consider buying a baby sleeping bag like Halo, which is easier to use.
Swabbing can prevent the baby from sleeping poorly by being disturbed by his own frightened reflex, help the baby recover from calmness after being stimulated, and give the baby a sense of security. The baby has just come out of his mother's uterus and is not adapted to the outside environment. He needs to feel the secure feeling tightly wrapped in the uterus, so swaddling clothes can come in handy. At the same time, swaddling also helps the baby to maintain warm and comfortable before the automatic adjustment function begins to function normally. When the baby is about to be full month, the baby will not swaddle him when he is awake. At this time, the baby has grown up, and continuing to swaddle may hinder the baby's movement and development. If the baby sleeps more peacefully in the swaddle, he can still use swaddle when sleeping; but if the baby will protest by crying and kicking his legs, it means that he is unwilling to be bound.

3. Gauze Scarf In life, all kinds of gauze towels are indispensable. Xiao R feels that the best thing is the popular gauze saliva towel from Cotton, which is thick enough and soft enough to be moderate in size. It is very suitable to wash the baby's face, bathing and rubbing saliva. Juhuasuan often has activities.

1. Wet tissue wet wipes are also a big daily consumer. Xiao R has used wet wipes such as Beiqin and Combi, and it feels that they are not as good as NUK. When you can get 29.9 yuan/3 packs (80 draws), then buy them quickly.

2. Skin care products : Butt care cream, papaya cream, body lotion, body oil
Baby's various skin care products are still very important. butt cream has several brands that have good reputations, because babies rarely have red butts (diapers are not easy to be red if they are breathable). They are not used many times, and the effect is quite obvious. It is best to prevent red butts from changing diapers frequently, wash their butts in water after being stinky, and then dry them (you can use hair dryers to blow them in a cold air conditioner).

Magical Australian universal papaya cream , has a very good reputation, and it looks like it can cure all skin problems. The main ingredients are Vaseline and papaya pulp. My colleague brought a piece from Hong Kong for Xiao R. He usually put it in his bag for later use when he goes out and can also be used as a lipstick. Other magical effects have not been discovered yet. You can check out the evaluations of other value friends in the encyclopedia entry.

aveeno's moisturizing cream and shampoo are both good, cheap and big bowl. If your baby has never had eczema, you can use moisturizer as a facial cream, which is very effective in dealing with saliva. Not much shampooing is used, so I occasionally use a little bit of my baby's hair. It is not recommended to use any detergent when taking a bath. Just use clean water directly, otherwise it will destroy the natural protective layer of the baby's skin, which will be counterproductive.

About Moisturizing Oil: When the baby was born, he heard from a friend to use Little Bee's oil, but Xiao R thought this oil was too fragrant and he didn't recommend it. Now we use edible olive oil or tea oil. After taking a shower, the baby can apply the wrinkles on his neck, arms and thighs. It is not recommended for prickly heat powder and talc powder. Even if it does not contain talc, those powders are too fine and can easily be inhaled into the lungs, which is not good for the baby's health.
3. Bathtub Rikang's bathtub has been bought by many friends, and it is very cost-effective. However, I personally think that when the baby is born, it will be easier to operate with a bathtub with a lying trunk.The Rikang recliner is not very practical, and the matching bath net is not easy to use. It takes two people to bathe the baby, one person carries the baby and wash it alone, which is quite troublesome. It is much more convenient when the baby can sit independently.

4. Baby Laundry Soap, Laundry Detergent Many mothers are worried about the problem of fluorescent agents. Xiao R has not conducted in-depth research on this aspect, nor has he bought ultraviolet lamps to light it. New clothes will have fluorescent agents, which is difficult to avoid. So I mainly pay attention to the cleaning process. The laundry detergent and laundry soap are all used by Baoning, so I just need to wash and dry new clothes more. In fact, many ordinary laundry detergents also contain fluorescent agents. Just imagine if there is no fluorescent agent when you buy clothes, but the detergents contain fluorescent agents, will it become more and more dirty as you wash them?

5. Cotton Swab Small cotton swab is very convenient for baby care of the umbilical cord and clean the ears. The small R used Beiqin can be used for a long time in 1 box.

1. Trolley
baby's first stroller, Xiao R's requirements are full shed, lying, pushing forward and backward, and four-wheel universal, and then chose the C801H model for good kids. For detailed posting, see:
The sundry for ordinary expectant mothers. Article 1: Goodbaby Good kids C801H Stroller one-piece halo...
After 9 months of use, it feels pretty good. Especially after using another cart A513 of Good Children in my hometown, I compared it to the C801H model. In addition to the advantages mentioned in the list, the main body of the cart is very strong (the back panel of C801 is hard plastic, the back panel of A513 is very soft, and it is deformed and sunken by my baby), and the seat with a width of 33cm is not narrow. I don’t feel the problem of shock absorption. Some friends said that a baby with a slight bump is easier to fall asleep (this is true). The main disadvantage is that it is relatively bulky and large after collecting the car. The trunk of an ordinary family car can be placed. However, because the trunk of a taxi in Guangzhou has a cylinder, the cart cannot be covered after it is stuffed in, so it is a headache to carry it with you when you go out for a taxi.
Summary: This car is suitable for taking your baby for a walk near the community (usual carts are probably the case). Babies need more sleep before 6 months old, and they have to go to bed after 2 hours of waking up, and usually they cannot go too far. When the baby is one year old, consider changing the umbrella car.

2. Waist stool
After the baby can start to erect his neck, he can use the waist stool to slide the baby out. While liberating his hands, he can also give the baby a good vision. The baby will be very happy. Xiao R has been struggling with whether to buy a waist stool for a long time, but in the end he found it was still very necessary (it is much more convenient than pushing a cart, which is just tired of waist). A colleague tried 6 brands of waist stools, and then concluded that Korean waist stools are easy to use, while domestic ones are easy to push the stomach and feel very uncomfortable. Afterwards, Xiao R bought two waist stools on Xianyu (I didn’t buy it early, and it took a shorter time to use it. The cost-effectiveness of 600 to 700 yuan for one hand is too low): TODBI’s single waist stool and i-angle’s waist stool with a strap. The first time you use it requires some skills (try to tighten your abdomen when inhaling and tightening). After getting used to it for a few times, it will be very good and will not be uncomfortable. My personal experience is that the single-waist stool is more frequently used, and it is more troublesome to use with a strap, and it is not easy to operate when you are alone (the baby is very active). The area of the TODBI paste is much larger than that of i-angle, the stress is more even, and the pressure on the waist is more dispersed.

3. Safety seat
Until the time of writing this experience, the baby's special seat had just arrived (baby 9 months old).在张大妈泡了好几天研究安全座椅，最后看中两款9KG-36KG类型的：宝得适britax的百变骑士和意大利的kiwy SLF123（无敌浩克）。 Both models are Isofix interfaces, and I personally think that safety is higher than seats fixed with seat belts. britax本身是Isofix接口的发明人，它家的座椅知名度和认可度很高，如果是小月龄的宝宝可以选择头等舱那一款。 Xiao R purchased the latter's Invincible Hulk. The kiwy brand is a seat for Ferrari racing, which is highly professional. The seats of the SLF123 model have passed the 2015 ADAC child safety seat test. The domestic non-official organization test is also qualified. Watch the video.

维生素D3是宝宝必须服用的（出生15天后开始每天400IU），医院都会给开，国产的伊可新（AD）和星鲨（D）等都可以，不需要迷信国外品牌（个人观点，不喜勿喷），由于该不该服用维生素A有许多争议，小R选择伊可新和星鲨交替着吃。 益生菌用于调节肠道菌群，小宝宝便秘或者腹泻的时候医生会开一点，适合婴儿。 alcohol and iodine are used for disinfection before the umbilical cord falls off. Do not overuse disinfectants at home. Give your baby a bacteria-carrying environment more conducive to health. A sterile family environment will lead to a reduction of normal bacteria, destroying the normal stimulation process of the human immune system, which is not conducive to the baby.
does not recommend buying: Norwegian small fish DHA Many mothers recommend this, so Xiao R also bought a bottle at that time. The baby didn't like to eat it after he was born (the taste was very fishy), and he cried every time he ate it, and the baby did not need to supplement DHA.

at the end of this article: Since the submission of "Experience on Upgrading for Expected Moms, Part 1: Preparing for Pregnant and Early Pregnancy", the content of Part 2 and Part 3 has been delayed again and again, and I can't get started. On the one hand, I consume a lot of energy to take care of my baby every day, and when the baby goes to bed, I almost need to take a shower and go to bed; on the other hand, I lack motivation. The previous article was probably because the editor felt that there was no highlight and was submerged in Aunt Zhang’s vast articles. The number of views was not high, and there were less than 10 friends who left comments. In recent days, Aunt Zhang has activated the reward function, and has added 5 rewards from friends at once. It is recognized by everyone. Xiao R is so happy. He quickly finished this article that has been written for more than four months to be worthy of everyone.
