Where did you put baby in the first few weeks?
Hi ladies,
Bubs is due to arrive in about 6 weeks. Lots of friends and family have said to us not to buy any more 'equipment' for the baby, as they would like to buy us gifts for when the baby is born.
The thing is, we haven't bought a baby rocker or a play gym as we had hoped that someone might buy us this is the first few weeks.
I was just thinking though, when me and Bubs come home, if we don't have a rocker or baby gym, should I just keep him/her in their carrycot (we are using their carrycot as the moses basket)?
Would you suggest we buy one of these beforehand to have in the house, or just wait and see if our friends and family buy us something?

dont even worry about it at the moment, as long as you have somewhere for baby to sleep thats all you need xxxx
(occasionally let family/friends have a snuggle)
We used the bouncy chair from about 3-4 weeks. (I found it helpful when my oh went back to work and I wanted a shower... put the vibrating bouncy chair in the bathroom and DS was soothed by noise of shower and the vibrating chair!!)
As for playgym, I'd say from about 6 weeks... that was about the age he started taking notice of colours and so the hanging jingly toys kept him amused!!
Moses basket/crib will do you fine til people come round bearing gifts!! xx
