My birth list guide

The weeks are flying by, your belly is getting rounder and rounder, and the baby's room soon ready. You've been advised several times to make a birth list to make sure you get the gifts you want or need, and above all, to avoid duplicates. So to limit the risks, theiste of birth is essential. But you might ask, "How do I do it? Who to make it for? What to put in it? Nothing could be simpler ;)

  1. When is the right time to create a birth list? 
While it's perfectly possible to create a birth list whenever you like, it's still a good idea to wait a little before taking the plunge. It's best to wait for the 2nd ultrasound in the 5th month, as you'll finally know your baby's sex. You'll then have time to think about your needs and desires, and start creating your birth list during the 6th or 7th month of pregnancy. 
  1. Where can I create my birth list?
The birth list has been booming for several years now. It's not easy to find the right place to create it.  Choosing a birth list in store:   You can submit your birth list in a number of different places.
