Op shops. Answer to anything & everything. Seriously! I saw a change table, with bath underneath for $50 the other day. I've seen cots, basinettes, cradles, high chairs & prams.
I always pick up clothes in pretty much new condition. I got some boys clothes for a friend last week, size 0000 with the tags still on for $1. Pretty much all our clothes are from op shops.
DD1's cot came from a garage sale a week before she was due for $100 & DD2's came from FiL's recycling centre! It was a better, sturdier cot that DD1's & would've easily been worth a good $600 or more at a baby shop. Was a solid timber one. I took the side off for a toddler bed & she was in it til she was nearly 3.
^^^^ what they all said
everything i didnt get given to me (i.e. second third fourth hand) was either off eBay (i got a pram that retailed at $350, 6 months old for $100) or out of the Quokka (think its the Trading Post over east).
dont think i spent more than a couple hundred bucks... for allll the essentials.
if u have ababy shower you should get some nice things too
HTH
