How Much Should First-Time Parents Budget for Baby Essentials in Nigeria?

Good evening, everyone. My wife and I are expecting our first child, a baby boy, and we are starting to plan for the essentials. For parents who recently had a baby in Nigeria, how much should we realistically budget for the basic items? We do not want luxury brands, but we also want durable, practical products that offer good value for money. Please share the items you consider essential, what you spent or would recommend budgeting, and any tips that could help first-time parents avoid unnecessary purchases. Thank you.

Which essentials are you hoping to buy before delivery, and which ones are you comfortable getting gradually after the baby arrives?

Are you planning a basic starter list first, or trying to prepare for every possible need before the baby comes?

It is sensible to separate genuine basics from nice-to-have items, especially when you want decent quality without paying for luxury labels.

A single budget figure may be misleading because families define "basic" differently, even when they are all avoiding luxury brands.

Make a short priority list, price each item locally, then keep some extra room for the unexpected things first-time parents may overlook.
