the big question: when to start your birth list?
The moment you've been looking forward to for so long has finally
arrived: time to make that birth list. An exciting,
but sometimes overwhelming. Don't worry, we are here to
through this adventure. So, when is the ideal time to start the
list to begin?
timing is everything
One of the most important considerations in creating a birth list is timing. You don't want to start too early, but you also don't want to stress at the last minute. A good rule of thumb is to start somewhere between 14 and 20 weeks pregnancy to start. This gives you enough time to think about what you really need, while it's still early enough for friends and family to plan their contributions.
