One thing I would suggest adding to the list of things to buy: maternity mats. I got mine from Boots (they come in a pack of five), but I'm sure they'll be available in a range of shops. TMI alert - I didn't have a vaginal delivery, but I've still had a couple of blood-related accidents at night (despite thick maternity pads) and the mats have protected the mattress (along with the shower curtain from Poundland, which would hopefully have saved the mattress if my waters had broken in the middle of the night). I imagine they could also be useful for protecting car seats if you're leaking water on the way to the hospital. Not glamorous and nowhere near as exciting as baby clothes, but you'll be glad you bought them

:eek: we've slipped onto the second page! Where is everyone tonight?
I've got horrible backache between my shoulders again

Been watching little man make my tummy dance this afternoon

Not much else going on, we went out for lunch today and did some food shopping. This afternoon I've been looking for cheap baby items and getting totally confused about which breast pump and which steriliser I should buy!

I used tommy tippee last time and didn't get on well with them. Trying avent this time round

If you're gonna buy a breast pump and plan on using it a fair bit, I'd go with a medela, even the mini electric is supposed to be fab.

They re-sell really well too, I re-sold mine for £52 and £7 postage on Ebay and had bought it for £99.99 at a Boots Christmas event where we got £20 back, so really I spent next to nothing on it.

I did try a manual and took me an age to even get an oz, and I had good supply, over supply even :rotfl: My medela swing was amazing I could get 2oz from each breast in about 10 minutes.

If you're using MAM bottles I'd just go with any microwavable steriliser, whichever you can get cheapest, as the easiest way to sterilise those bottles with all there parts is self sterilising in the microwave the only thing you'd be using it for would be dummys/breast pump.

Hi, still here but nothing to add today.

Started a bee blog to contain my bee enthusiasm. Never written one before so having to learn quickly and hope it isn't too boring.

Emsbet I have a Nuby manual breast pump but then I got it free last year from a competition so going to give that a go. Never used it so can't add any review.

im a football widow so been looking at washable nappies on ebay !

ive already won a bundle but just scanning for bargains now

As for breast pump/steriliser Ive ordered the Tommee Tippee one which ive used in the past, wasnt overly impressed but I did like the steriliser and bottles that match the set so went with it,

ive also used the avent and im not a fan, it just seemed to be quite cheap and was hit and miss whether it worked !

Im sat on the sofa feeling disgusted with myself right now, i smell so bad my guts ache and there is a green fog in the room :eek:
