    Hi girls,

    I want some advice and where better to get it then you lot!

    2 questions really,

    Ok so far I have,
    Pram, car seat and iso-fix
    Cot, mattress
    Wardrobe and changer
    A few neutral clothes and will buy know when I know bump colour!
    Rocker
    Mosses basket, mattress and stand
    Bedding for both cot and mosses basket
    Blankets
    Steriliser, bottles etc
    A lovely pink linning changing bag!

    What else can you suggest I need?

    Second I was just wondering if you could all tell me the items you couldn't live without and those which were a waste of money and you never used, also what do you wish you had bought in hindsight!

    Ta girls! Sorry for being a pain! Xxx

    Hiya!

    Couldn't have managed without breast pump, bouncy chair, endless bibs and muslins, monitor

    Wish I'd bought sooner - sling, electric breast pump!

    Never used - cot mobile

    Should have researched prams better - bought a M and P pramette and have ended up buying a Loola off ebay as the M and P didn't do everything I'd hoped

    Think a lot of it's personal choice really thou hun!

    Things we couldn't live without are:

    bouncer
    swaddle miracle thing (especially as it now means we get sleep)
    angelcare monitor
    long sleeve bodysuits
    loads and loads of baby wipes
    more size 2 nappies than 1 (we gave loads of size 1 away)
    fisher price jungle gym (he loves this)
    light lullaby show (this tells him its night time)
    tummy tub (fantastic thing, means i can bath him on my own)

    Hope this helps.

    Hi there,

    things I couldn't live without

    - electric breast pump (medela swing)
    - playgym (Gymini Tiny love)
    - sling (also bought a BabyBjoern but don't use it at all)
    - sleep sheep / white noise machine
    - swaddlers (just started swaddling her again as she has a conjunctivitis and would scratch her eyes all the time)
    - weleda babycare range (has worked wonders on every sore bum so far)
    - wrap front long sleeved body suits (actually not too many as I only had 5 that I loved and washed over and over again, all others are still unused in the wardrobe)
    - Lamaze toys (Jacques the peacock)
    - Alphabet numbers coloured soft play mats (for naked playtime)
    - Lansinoh or purelan (nipple cream)
    - Small tie handle bags (Asda) for nappies
    - 3 very soft blankets
    - endless muslins

    think that is it!!

    I agree about the nappy bin! :lol:
    I think everyone's got everything covered, but I'd definitely loudly recommend a sling! When Jak was about a month old he really struggled to nap, he'd got quite bad wind and he just wanted to sleep on me. He would go in the sling and sleep against my chest, which was brilliant because he got the closeness he wanted and I could get on with things. Now he just loves looking round when I take him out for a walk in it, it's been totally worth the money.

    Can I just add - so glad you're still keeping us updated, I hope it's all going well hun x x x
