Nuk look the prettiest in my opioion, but the dummy shields are quire small, and a lot of babies have been choking on them lately, because they've ended up with the whole think in their mouths.

the happy baby ones are great, they're cheap and last no less time than the more expensive ones.

Bottles - doesn't really matter function wise, its more the teats. Milo has used the winne the pooh bottles from target, and pur teats since we stopped breastfeeding. I don't like wide mouth bottles at all, we use the normal ones

We like all clothes, and hats. Especially when they're presents!

There is a thread on clothing brands in the General baby & toddler discussion, that talks about brnads a bit more.

My sone didn't have a bassinett - which is a good thing cos he'd have outgrown it length wise in uder 8 weekd. He outgrew his valco cocoon inn 6 weeks.

He had a hammock which he slept in at night and occasionally in the day, for a week or so. After that it was about half/half between the cot and the hammock, but mainly the cot. He just like it, and our room is right next door, so he was not too far away.
