Hi Julie and November08mum! As I understand it, you cannot send or recieve PM's until you have reached 25 posts. Once you have reached 25 posts PM me and I will be happy to send it to you.
Hi Girls Loving the tips. Only thing is, how many of each size do you buy? I have no idea how long bub will be in a 000 and 00? I want to be prepared and not have to go out shopping for baby clothes until at least 4-5 months. I have enough 0000 for the hospital and first week or so. When my baby is 3 months it will be winter here in Melbourne so quite chilly.
I'm thinking of getting 6 singlets in 000 and 6 in 00 - is that too many? And for bodysuits or tops/pants how many of each size?
Regarding singlets I found the Bonds 00 was the same size as kmart brand 000 I ended up being given a heap of hand me down singlets too in asstd sizes.
tbh I found that having bubs in a big singlet was okit just came over is bum and didnt ride up. My DS wa 3610g (7lb15). I would buy the kmart or target brand (they seem thicker) - maybe3 or 4 0000 and 6 or 7 000 or if you buy bonds, 4 000 and more 00. You can always use the 00 if you run out. Another thing to consider is the 'cuteness' factor - going into summer, bub may just wear a singlet and nappy some days or no singlet at all under clothes. Bubs look pretty cute full stop so isn't a huge issue.
In my hospital they used a singlet as a beanie - tied the straps/sleeves together and rolled it a bit. The part which usually goes around bubs belly went around the head. Wa a cool thing to do and it saves on them having to have another piece of baby clothing.
Bodysuits - 3 or 4, depends how often you want bub to wear them and will they be used as an outfit? Pumpkin patch online outlet store had some cute ones 2 for $9. Good buy.
Other clothes is hard to say, you will be given a lot. My bubs didn't fit 0000 bonds wondersuits so maybe have a few 000. I did have a few 0000 outfits - about 4 plus wondersuits.
Best piece of advic e I can give is keep the outfits simple - for bubs comfort and eas of dressing/undressing. They sleep lots too and will be wrapped. I know I wouldnt want to sleep in jeans.
- A Hug-a-bub carrier. Used it up until she was 18 mths (and wanted to walk everywhere) and it was MUCH more convenient when she was little than a pram for walking, shopping, etc. She would sleep in it and leave my hands free for ages!
- Aust Breastfeeding Assn subscription - came with a free book on bfing that was absolutely spot on, meant I could go along to meet-ups regularly and pick topics that I needed info on. (This is also a great gift from someone who doesn't know what to get you!).
- A rocker/bouncer that could rock itself (batteries) - it wasn't cheap but my sisters went in together and bought it for me and it gave me an uninterrupted shower every day!
