Finally Tesco have the cot mobile I want back in stock and still got money off :j happyhappy

Also how many blankets have you all got? I have some but a few are fleecy and obviously can't be tumble dried, so I'm not sure how many I should have?

I'm the same Redhead, OH got up for work at half 5, and I've been awake ever since :eek:

I have 4 cellular ones for the Moses basket, and 4 cellular ones for the cot bed. Plus a swaddle blanket, 1 cot bed fleece one, some nicer slightly thicker ones for cot bed, plus 3 sleepbags for when he's in his cot bed.

Then just 4 fitted and 4 flat sheets for both moses basket and cot bed.

Oh, and think I tumble dried my fleece one, just on a low heat setting though.

God that seems loads :eek: I may need some more.

My fleecy ones have strict instructions not to tumble dry the ones I have from America say they can be dried on a low heat though, hmmm.

Good question! The number/types of blankets I need and the amount of clothes I need are the 2 things I am most confused about!

Good luck Toniq and Hope to hear from u soon Anna!
Physio app for me today, hoping to get some relief if only just for 1 nights half decent kip!! Saying that, i was sooooo tired last night i only woke up a few times.
Gilly, i tumble dry everything...even fleece blankets, am i not suuposed to tumble them for some reason?!! I always have the tumbler on high too! Never had a prob yet, and the girls fleece blankets from Primark are almost 4 yrs old and still fine (dont tumble pillows tho, they WILL melt haha!)
Weather is cruddy today so my plan for tidying the garden a bit is out of the window Have a good day ladies and bumps! xx

Gillyx

I thought they would shrink? it's not an issue drying them another way, just would prefer to be prepared and have enough

I don't have "sets" as such just loads of different random blankets. Some are far too big for the crib too, so I assume I'll have to wait until I get a cot for those. I have about 5 blankets for the crib at the moment, not sure that's enough though? Will I get any as presents? Arghhh so confused.

Lisa, r.e clothes, I'd aim for less than you think, as I have so many now I'm panicking about presents arriving.

With fleece blankets i think its more to do with them melting on a high heat in the tumbler. 1 thing i did learn with DD1.....DO NOT TUMBLE BIBS!!!!!!!!! Omg, i didnt even think one day and just chucked everything in together, and when i took them out, all the plastic was melted and the bibs were only fit for the bin!! xx

Gillyx

I don't know how to adjust the heating on my tumble dryer it's so confusing, I can just about turn it on.

Bibs I have hanging on the clothes horse drying at the moment, so I've done one thing right

Gillyx

Also, always wonderful to read something like this about your hospital.

So so grim, my heart goes out to the families of these babies.
