    i put a heap on layby. basically the whole nursery, pram and capsule. I spent just over a $1000 but the saving was actually $560. So im pretty happy with that... and that its all mostly done. Now they can look after it all until we move into the new place

    wasnt real sure on the change table but got it anyway and i figure i can exchange or refund later... cant I... can you do that with layby stuff????? I dont usually layby, but ive got nowhere to put it all at the moment, and i didnt want to miss out on the prices.

    and i took mum with me and she got us stuff too. clever me!

    anyone else?????

    Myson, in response to your question - I work at the Target in Townsville. Definitely can return the items. But you have to pay the entire layby out first, and then you can return/ exchange anything you want from it, just like you would any other refund. Change of mind returns happen all the time.
    Hope it helps!

    thanks mrs Mathews. i was hoping so. will decide in a few weeks when i pick it all up.

    Ali, i looked at the bright sparks swing but thought it looked a cheap and nasty, do you know anyone who has one? for $64 i will think about it a bit more but i would never pay full price for it.

    Vixstar, i like te idea of the Ikea antilop for the cleaning reason, but doesnt look really supportive or like it has straps either (ony ever seen pics) but does look so easy to clean!

    Nettie, thanks for the tip onn the suits. i was considering stocking up, but wil wait til i try them first.

    Fiona. no dbl in my store either.

    the website is great. I put everything i was interested in on the shopping list and printed it out. then i could check prices, tick off the list, and compare savings as i went. dh was impressed with the savings too!

    he said to me "how much did you spend today?" i said "no no hunny.. dont worry about that... ask me how much i SAVED today!"

    myson - The Ikea Antilop has a lap harness, I never use it though because there is no way DS2 could get out! (I never leave him unattended in it though ). You can buy a blow up cushion insert for $10 for smaller babies so they can sit up with more support. HTH

    Good Morning All,

    I looked at the bright sparks swing also and I agree with myson it looks a bit cheap, although at 50% off i guess its a bargain!.. However, the reason I didn't get it was b/c I don't think it would hold the child past 4 mnths it looked very small.

    The breast pump seemed to be popular with alot of people at my local target store - why would you need a breast pump?

    for those who are BF, the pump could be a huge help in expressing milk for feeding when mum isn't available (dad to feed, day care, stocking up before the birth etc)

    as it stands, i'm at risk of gestational diabetes and was told when i was booking at the hospital that they would ask me to start expressing and freezing breast milk from 36weeks so that we have a stock ready for when Gremlin arrives - babies of GD mum's (or any with unstable blood sugars at birth) will be fed every three hours (rather than on demand) and sometimes mum just doesn't have the milk to keep up with this demand...
