The Baby Gear You Shouldn't Buy Till You Meet Your Baby

It may be tempting to look ahead to your baby's year of firsts with a wardrobe to match, but it's a lot harder to predict what size he or she will be wearing months down the road than you might think. Some babies wear 6-9 month clothing when they're actually 6-9 months, others when they're just a few months old, and still others not till they're past the nine-month mark.

Be prepared to shop on an as-needed basis, but know that you'll actually be saving money this way — the less little outfits that they outgrow while the tags are still on, the better!
