All these are top suggestions and i have to say I agree with them all. I was however fairly cautious about buying stuff until I figured out what I actually would need or want to use. I just put away some money each pay in a savings acct so i didn't have to worry about eating up my maternity leave payments. Most of Darcy's most used stuff was bought after she was born.

As an aside I had to give away all the J&J stuff that was given as pressies cos we both reacted to it, so just be careful if you're sensistive.
