I'm having a DFW baby!!

Lol, that's funny - the puppies are out for a walk. I can highly recommend Avon's t-shirt bras - they give you a really nice shape - not too 'Jordan' but they stop you ending up with that awful mono-breast effect that some bras give you (or worse, the 'quadruple-breast' effect), and they're a fiver each! (I should work for Avon shouldn't I?!)

Nipple cream (Lasinoh was amazing I found with DS, never had any issues with my nips)
Horrible, manky towels for the shower/bath after (don't need to say anymore do I?)

Dressing gown?

Money for tv/phone
List of people to call
(I had a group text ready and just wrote I text and sent it out)


They don't supply baby bedding at my hospital but I had MIL take 1 large white sheet and make that into loads of little baby sheets for pram, hospital etc. They have been used now for aboutr 5 babies.

Can't think of anyhting else...

I like breast feeding bras because you could just undo the flap...

i find for me i have to get mine fitted i pay usually anywhere between £30 (doesnt last long though) to £50 a bra...i am soo jelous of you ladies that can buy the £5 ones ...

Snaggles

Thanks Bunny - I can't believe you had to take your own baby bedding to the hospital - that's shocking!

Yes, the breast feeding bras do have advantages, and I wish I could wear one, but they just make me look so horrible, and I know that's a terrible, vain thing to say, but I really lack confidence in how I look at the best of times, so knowing I've got a saggy, shapeless chest drooping down in front of me (which is what nursing bras seem to do to me), would just about finish me off!

Snaggles

You just reminded my Bunny (when you mentioned money for phone), I must pack some change for the carpark too! Thanks.

Wow elantan, £50 for a bra - but it must feel great to have one that fits you perfectly - I always just guess and hope as far as size etc goes.

elantan

well it's not so great as having them under control lol ..i get sore backs etc i'm bigger than jordan (to give youan idea of size) it aint much fun ...i only tend to buy the £50 ones once or twice a year the rest i stick at between £30-£40 ....

Snaggles - if you do find that you need a nursing bra - try Mothercare - I was shocked to find lovely looking, supportive (as much as they can be without wire) bras there - I never got the hang of scooping a boob out to BF -I did like the unclip ones BUT have had a few embarrassing incidents with them as well!!
