Baby purchases?
Has anyone started buying anything yet? Hubs thinks it's too soon and doesn't want to tempt fate but can't help feeling totally disorganised! If you've started buying baby stuff, what have you bought? I feel totally clueless! Second/third etc timers, can you give us 1sties a let of what we should be getting?
Thanks

My tip to first timers is don't buy too much in newborn size as they'll only wear it for a month, maybe not at all if you have a bigger baby, and you'll get bought loads too. Just get a pack of vests and maybe 6 or 7 baby gros - you can buy the rest once bubs arrives! Stock up on nappies and wipes if they're on offer too and get some cotton wool for the first couple of weeks as you're not supposed to use wipes straight away.
Borrow a Moses basket if you can as you'll only use it for a couple of months but get a pushchair and car seat you really like as you'll get so much use out of them especially if you have another
Don't forget all the essentials for yourself too: Breast Pads, Huge Sanitary towels etc

we were just like this with our first am panicking now as am 23 weeks and havent even started with this one lol xx
I've made the list and chosen what we're getting but we'll be getting a bit at a time when we have the money. As we're also just about to put our house on the market I'm loathe to fill the house and find homes for baby things when I'm just nearly done clearing it out for photos and viewers!
