Felipe, Bianca & Pudding are expecting

All aboard,
baby Acerola.

A little sailor is joining the crew in January 2027. This is the family’s calm, practical place to count down, prepare the nursery and plan every nappy.

The voyage plan

Prepare without going overboard.

Buy what protects sleep, transport, feeding and daily care first. Everything else can wait until Acerola shows the crew what he actually likes.

The master checklist

Ready the ship, one tick at a time.

Selections stay saved on this device. “Wait” does not mean unnecessary — it means there is value in learning Acerola’s needs before buying.

Preparation progress0%

Safe sleep & nursery

Keep the sleep space simple, firm and clear.

Changing & nappies

A small first stock avoids being stranded with the wrong fit.

Clothing & laundry

For a January baby: light layers, frequent washing and room to grow.

Feeding

Buy a flexible starter set; feeding needs become clearer after birth.

Travel & daily care

The car restraint is the one item that must be ready before the trip home.

Hospital, admin & home

Pack by 36 weeks, then make the first fortnight deliberately easy.

Baby-shower nappy planner

One guest. One pack. Smarter sizes.

Trying to collect a full year at the shower can create waste if the fit or brand does not suit Acerola. This plan deliberately favours Sizes 2–4 and keeps Newborn stock small.

Set the guest list

Ask each person for 1 packAny brand is fine only if Bianca and Felipe are comfortable mixing brands. Ask for a receipt where possible.

Roughly 180 days (26 weeks) at an average of 8 changes a day. A first year is commonly around 2,700–3,000 disposable nappies, but every baby differs.

Size reference

Buy for weight and fit, not the calendar.

Months are only a planning guide. Frequent leaks, red marks or poor coverage can signal it is time to size up.

Quick guides for the crew

Small plans for the moments that matter.

01

Hospital bag

Pack by 36 weeks: paperwork, chargers, comfortable clothes, toiletries, feeding support items, maternity pads, snacks, baby’s going-home clothes and the installed car restraint.

Official Australian checklist ↗
02

First two weeks

Freeze easy meals, share night and household duties, limit demanding visits, stock parent medications safely, and nominate one person to coordinate help so Bianca and Felipe can rest.

03

Pudding meets Acerola

Refresh calm cues before birth, create Pudding’s quiet retreat, introduce baby scents first, greet calmly, reward relaxed behaviour and supervise every interaction — no exceptions.

04

January heat

Choose breathable light layers, protect from direct sun, keep the pram ventilated and never cover it with a blanket. Dress Acerola for the room temperature, not a fixed outfit formula.

Safety compass

The non-negotiables

Safe sleep stays beautifully simple.

Always place Acerola on his back; keep his head and face uncovered; use a safe cot and firm, flat mattress; keep the cot clear of pillows, bumpers, toys and loose bedding; keep him smoke-free; and use his own sleep space in the parents’ room for at least the first six months.
