Thanks guys, this has all been really helpful.

We bought a thermometer a little while back because I couldnt imagine using one under the arm on a baby.
Didn't think to buy nipple cream or breast pads though so they can go on my list and will definately have to start a stock of nappy san.
Baby Panadol is something I wouldn't have thought of either and I am having trouble finding the nappy sacks (you do mean those nice smelling bags that you put dirty nappies in right??) but will def have a look in Big W now.

You just don't don't realise how much there is to get and I didn't want to get stuck having to take a 3 day old baby shopping for all the things I forgot. You are all absolute angels THANKS

What's Gripe water???
