5 things I couldn't live without:

1. Good pram - spend a bit extra to get the perfect one!
2. Nappy Wrapper Bin - although i don't use it now for DD, it was the best present for before she was walking.
3. Bouncer - great when you need time to cook or just go to the toilet without a crying baby!
4. Change table/bath centre - although I didn't use the bath for long, it was great while DD was small enough for it as we have a corner spa and its just too big! The change table is definatley a godsend for your back!
5. Burb cloths - I bought a packet of flanelette nappies and they were great actually the best, not only for burbing bub but my DD was quite chuckie, and we used to put one folded up under her head in her bassinette/cot or when she was on the floor.... saved many, many loads of washing!

3 things I didn't use

1. Neutral clothes - once we knew she was a girl, she was in nothing but pink!
2. Bassinette - ended up putting her in her cot at around 2 weeks!
3. BF rocking chair... I didn't buy ine, but friends that have never use it...
