I don't know yet as I'm pregnant with my first, but just wanted to say, this is a brilliant topic. I'm going to remember all the good and bad things to buy or not to buy!

oo yes I forgot Grobags! they are great

Same as Lady3 I'm expecting my first and all this stuff is very useful to know!
Thanks

xx

same with me too this is my first and some of the things on the worst lists i was considering buying myself.


a question though, when you use a growbag/sleepbag, do you just need the sheet on the matteres? not the top sheets?

With grobag's you just need the sheet on the mattress, I didn't think you were supposed to use any other kind of sheets . .

Best
Bouncy seat
sleep bag
boppy nursing pillow

Worst
umbrella stroller I am too tall to push it hurts my back
diaper gene could never get the diapers to twist right getting the diaper champ this time

Best:
Microwave steriliser
Tommee Tippee milk powder dispensers - so handy for preparing bottles for taking out/just using any of the rest of the time
Bouncy seat - useful for putting him in when I need to go and do something. He likes the sound and lights on ours

Worst:
Top & Tail bowl - I usually just use wipes for nappy changing, and a bowl/jug is fine for when I need to clean his face.

interested in one of these milk powder dispensers could anyone provide me with a link to the one the use please?
