What essentials to buy for first baby?

Hello

we have a 7mth old and the only new things we brought were a car seat, cot mattress and crib matress and moses basket matress

we also brought a cot mobile and some clothes and bedding new but in sale or with discount codes online

we brought everything else second hand inc a quinny buzz with carrycot and loads of extras (new would have been £700 for it all) and was 10mths old and we paid £200 was selling it because she had a girl and it was aqua blue and her parents had brought it as a gift and was hardly used (more money than sense in my opinion but gave us a bargain!!)

we also got our cot for free from netmums and brought loads from www.netmums.co.uk and www.gumtree.com

sorry forgot to add you can never have enough bibs or muslins we have found

I am breast feeding and baby has refused bottle but I have still expressed and have been freezing it and now weaning it goes in his food and I have found the tommee tippee breast pump hand one great and it was £10 on offer and is often on offer in boots or tesco. we brought a tommee tippee microwave sterilser on offer too and have never used it as breast pump comes with a bottle and a small microwave sterilser box.
