A huge thank you to all! This information is invaluable!

At least I know where I will be wasting money and where not.

One thing... about terry towel nappies, do you get them in this country? I have had a look at Mother-world and babies r us and didn't see them there....



mothercare definitely has them. they are quite expensive, but much better than muslins. much more absorbant!
always look on the bright side of life......

I've seen them at Boots and Toys R us - the baby section. I would also hold fire on the dummies and bottles. Perhaps just get one dummy just in case, and if your baby likes them then you can get some more.

Gripe water is a must - for you! :rofl:

I was given a pack of 10 terry nappies as a gift & they were from Mother Care. I've seen them in several of the larger stores, including Woolworths. They are very pricey, about £25 for 10.

Regarding the dummies & bottles. My advice would be to have one dummy (my son still loves his) & a couple of bottles to start. I had intended to breast feed & so didn't have any bottles. However, due to post natal health problems, I didn't produce enough milk & was only able to breast feed for about 2 weeks & then had to send my dad out to buy some bottles. Bottles are also handy for storing expressed breast milk. But if you can't or don't want to breast feed whilst still in hospital, the midwives keep a stock of ready made formula in disposable bottles.

I don't know it anyone has mentioned it yet....

Nappy sacks (little plastic bags to put used nappies in whn throwing them away to reduce the smell and mess popential. - some are scented too)

One of those nappy bins with a tubular plastic lining works well - if you have the space for it.. Smile
This world is very real and itÂ’s the only life we will ever have. What
we do here matters and its up to us to make it a better place. Do what
you can to reduce pain, misery, and suffering, and to promote
happiness, contentment, and pleasure in this life for yourself and those around
you. Find your spiritual inspiration from the natural world, from the
trees and flowers around you, and from the clouds and stars in the sky
above us. Probably those of us alive today will never know all the
answers, but if the human race is lucky, some day some one will and they
will depend on our contributions here, today to get there. I like to think
they will look back in thanks for what we have preserved and
accomplished for them.

I actually thought to add them this morning whilst doing a nappy change! :haha:

Beanie & any other new mums-to-be, these can range in price from anything from 70p for 100 at ASDA to £1 for 300 at Pound Shops to £3.50 for 50 at Mother Care. The cheap ones, quite obviously, work just as well as the fancy Mother Care ones! :p

I've never felt the need for one of those nappy bins. If the nappy is that smelly, it can go straight into the outside bin! Big Grin

I see that you can also now get baby wipe warmers at a ridiculous price. :crylol: These are for mums who really have too much money & not much common sense, in my honest opinion! Rolleyes If it's cold & you're worried that your baby's bum will get cold, simply place the wipes on the radiator for a few minutes before use.
