5. SET YOURSELF A BUDGET

The cost of getting ready for baby’s arrival can soon add up. Setting a spending budget will help stop you from getting carried away! It goes without saying that we all love a little treat and if there’s something you love, take a look around the show and if you’re still thinking about it go back and purchase it if there’s room in your budget. For big purchases, it’s worth taking a look online to see what the best prices are, then aim to get them for even less at the show.

6. DON’T FORGET THE GOODY

BAGS

MadeForMums have the most amazing goody bag on offer at The Baby Show you can pre-pay for them when ordering your tickets or you can pick them up at the show. Don’t Miss out.

7. SEEK OUT THE FREEBIES

Lots of the bigger brands, such as MAM, Lidl GB, all give out freebies when you visit their stands.

8. SNACKS AND DRINKS

Shopping at The Baby Show can be hard hungry work, especially when you’re carrying a baby. It’s also a great time to grab a cuppa look over the list and discuss those big important purchases. The shows often have great food facilities on hand so you won’t even need to leave the venue to grab some decent food and a muchneeded coffee.

9. ASK FOR ADVICE

This is your time to get those burning questions answered, The Baby Show is full of amazing pregnancy and baby experts all under one roof ready and waiting to offer their advice. From Award Winning Midwife: Midwife Marley, Baby Nutritionist: Charlotte Stirling-Reed and Children’s Cookery Author: Annabel Karmel the Live Talks Stage hosts free expert talks, panel discussions, and celebrity Q&As throughout the show.

10. ASK OTHER PARENTS

Spot a family with one of the buggies you’ve been lusting over? Stop them and ask them how they’re finding it. This is a genius way to get an honest appraisal. Ask them for the good and bad points, one feature at The Baby Show most others shows don’t have is the MadeForMums Buggy track. You can pretty much trial any pram over all terrains, giving you a real feel for that huge purchase, before making it. You will find them at the entrance.

11. CHANGING AND FEEDING AREAS

Make the most of the changing and feeding facilities on offer, free nappies from Lidl GB and a private feeding area for Mum. Lidl, will be showcasing their full Lupilu baby range from nutritious meals, snacks and purées to everyday baby essentials including their award-winning nappies that visitors can sample free of charge within the Lidl GB Lupilu baby changing area!

11. IF YOU LIKE IT, BUY IT -

ESPECIALLY IF IT’S THE LAST ONE!

If you’re at a stand and you see something that’s on your list – or that you definitely want – buy it then and there. There’s nothing worse than returning to the stand to buy that special something you had your eye on, only for it to have sold it! This is even more important if you’re visiting on Sunday when traders will have limited stock left.
