NAPPIES (disposables)

Just not newborn size, go the next one up, or even one size up again. You're guaranteed to use them, they are huge so people can feel good about giving you solid, chunky gifts and they're practical - and people can buy them at the supermarket!

I have the reverse problem at the moment - noone has asked if we need anything except my parents and grandparents. My parents bought us exactly what we needed (bassinette and a couple of sleep sacks and some winter clothes), and nothing we didn't need. We now have everything we need. The complete lack of communication from everyone else is leading me to think either we won't get anything at all, or we're going to get stuff we don't need, didn't ask for, won't use, and is going to end up on eBay.
