it just annoyed me a little as i have bought most of mine from car boots and she showed me the few things she has got and she has bought individual sleepsuits new with tags in posh shops for £12 + EACH! she was even at the car boot when i bought a few items that she said she would have liked after i am done but she never went and looked round herself

All the talk about change bags earlier got me thinking, so i got out the wallaboo change bag i bought a few months ago. Now i'm thinking about what i need to put in it. I know its still quite early, but i'd prefer to get sorted now, as i reckon i'll have other things on my mind nearer the time and when bean arrives! It comes with a change mat, and a wet bag already for ikky stuff.
I figure that i'll also need the following:

3-4 nappies ('sposies to start with, reusables with liners later on).
My travel bag of clean wipes and mucky wipe bag for dirties
Mini pot of sudacreme from the bounty pack
A muslin or two for spills, cover up when b/f etc
A couple of spare babygro's in case of accidents
A few spare maternity pads, and likewise breast pads
A baby hat- in case of being stuck out in unexpected sun/cold
A rolled up spare vest top for me in case of accidents.
A few granola bags or mini bags of trail mix etc for me


Anyone think of anything else?

maybe a spare vest incase of v messy nappies

but what youve got is pretty much all id have in mine

*Redhead*

I'd just be honest with her. Tell her you've worked out how many nappies you'll need and that's what you have. It's really unfair to assume anyway x

jenjade

yeah my baby bag used to contain about the same. bottles if you don't breast feed. i took a few vests for those nasty nappies and a carrier bag for dirty clothes etc. i also packed a change of clothes in the boot of the car for baby incase of emergency

jenjade

thanks for the advice over sister. i am half hoping she has a boy so that will half solve the problem

i feel sick and a bit dizzy. baby is pressing her head into my pelvis and it hurts

I think i am going to be in a tricky position with my sister who is due a few months after me and seems to have assumed i will be handing her all the clothes etc. she phoned today and said she has bought 2 packet of newborn nappies coz she may aswell see what i have left over before she buys some. I didnt have the heart to say i wont have any left over is baby grows out of them i will swap any unopened for larger sizes. I can afford to give her everything although i would love to. i was planning on ebaying everything as soon as baby grows out of it

how is it best to handle that one?

Ooh tricky one. On the nappy front, maybe "oh i would love to be able to give you spare nappies, but given the closeness in age, and that i've been buying limited numbers of each size, i just dont think i'm going to have any spare, and i would hate for you to have to go running out for more once your baby arrives, cos i know how much hassle that with a new born"

On the clothes side, i think thats extra cheeky, as they are sellable. Could you tell the truth, that money is a bit tight, and you are planning to sell as you go so that you can buy the next size up, but you would be happy to offer her first look if she wants to buy them from you, to save her paying postage?

jenjade

my sister did say when she said about clothes once that i have a few bits she would like and she could get me something for my baby in exchange. but i dont want a £14 sleepsuit i would rather buy 20 sleepsuits and 20 vests at the car boot for £14 instead. I guess i will have to have a chat with her about it.

my bump is miss behaving. i am not sure if it is bh or baby but it all goes tight and then released and it is actually making me stop what i am doing and i have to breath through it very painful

We have gone with the bambino mio I think they are called. They had a great offer at the show and they were our favourites as you do not need to use liners for them if you dont want to as they are super absorbent yet keeps babys bum dry. These are the newer style they do - but cant say I knew much about them before I went anyway.

Some of the ones we saw I just did not like at all but its all personal preference. Very fun coming home and going through all the bags and remembering all the free stuff we had got

They have new ones? Thank goodness for that, the old ones were dire.

Have the fleece topped the pre-folds now as I am curious how they dont need a liner?
