    you'd need a cot though, once they got too big to sleep in a drawer or cardboard box :D

    edit - i just read back and marker had already mentioned the cot. some people buy a changing table. a friend of ours had a tough time after a section so a changing table would have made a huge difference. i got one off freecycle for her though. i was glad of my changing table bought for £20 from an NCT sale. I freecycled it afterwards - they are sturdy and will last through lots of babies.

    OP have you been to an NCT sale? I love them, especially for toys. http://www.nct.org.uk/home
    they never have details of the sale in my town though, i have to go to the local website for my town.

    The only thing I can think of would be a wardrobe to store baby's clothes and other stuff.:confused:

    We just used a chest of drawers.
