I wish our society was more like that. A pram, cot/bassinette etc are all must have 'necessities' when expecting a baby. Noone has a baby without these items. Some people don't even realise that you can have a baby without them!

I was one of those people. & I still have all those 'necessities', they just sit there unused A pram won't entertain DD when I'm trying to get the cooking done, so she goes on my back!
