Life goes in to 5th gear after the arrival of a baby. The cooking, washing, cleaning as well as shopping has to be done at thrice the speed, because the cuddly little devil demands more than half of your time now. While you can hire a help for the other chores, shopping is something most of us prefer doing ourselves.

However, going shopping with an ever-hungry infant or a cranky toddler can be a nightmare; even pre-teens are a handful when it comes to that. However, you don’t need to stick to the traditional way of things in this advanced world of e-commerce. If you are still skeptical of online shopping, let’s see if these seven advantages can convince you to make the shift for your and your baby’s good.

Online shopping does not tire you further

Running to different parts of the town for groceries, medicines, baby food, diapers, clothes and 100 other things is definitely uninviting when you are already dead on your feet because of the baby. However, online, you will find everything you need for yourself, the baby and the house on one single screen. Just go click, click, click and you will be done with an entire month’s shopping within the hour.

You can shop anytime, and as long as you want

You don’t need to rearrange your shopping plans because your MIL has a kitty party to attend, the baby-sitter has a deadline, it’s already time to prepare dinner or other such thing. Whenever you find yourself free and awake, early morning or middle of the night, you can get the shopping done online. Also, since there is no hurry to be back home, you can take your own sweet time.

You can window shop all you want

No one understands post-partum depression as a new mom does. In fact, a lot of people simply deny the existence of any such thing. But well, those people didn’t go through nine months of bloating and drastic hormonal change in a matter of hours after delivery. You did. And if you think window-shopping is the way to fight this depression, then nothing, not even your little mite can stop you from doing it. So, go online, and window shop all you want without a deadline to worry about or without getting tired.

You can do it on your phone, too

It does not get more convenient than this. You just need a phone, a good internet connection and a shopping app on your mobile phone. Then you can get all the shopping done while putting the baby to sleep, while feeding it or even while enjoying a cup of coffee.

You save a lot of money online

Online shopping not only saves your time and energy but also your money. Great discounts are omnipresent online, and sales are a monthly occurrence, here. So, you will save in hundreds every time you shop online. Also, shopping in bulk like for diapers, groceries, baby food and essentials, etc. will always get you additional discount in form of coupons or cashback. And there are sites like DesiDime.com which bring all the greatest online deals, coupons and cashback offers from FirstCry and 500 other stores, and latest news about online sales in a single place.

You don’t have to do your shopping alone

Need some advice on the pram you have selected for your child? Want to know whether a particular store is reliable? Don’t know which baby brands to trust? You can find all the detailed information on products, store and brand reviews and expert shopping advice while shopping online with sites like DesiDime. DesiDime is an online shopping community where you can talk to fellow shoppers and also make friends with other moms while taking care of your home and child.

You can discover and buy unique stuff online

Kids’ stores are filled with fantastic, novel things like theme costumes, educational games etc. but you hardly discover half of it due to time constraints, while shopping in physical stores. However, online you can browse through thousands of products in minutes and buy some of the most extra-ordinary and exclusive things for your kid, at affordable prices.

In a nut shell, you are doing a 24×7 job without getting paid for it. So, you’ve earned a bit of rest, pampering and therapy for yourself. As, online shopping is a perfect package of all three, it’s time you embrace it like your own new-born.
