Those little items/products you couldnt do without!

ummmmmmm personally I wouldn't buy a sling till you have had bub then maybe try them out with him.her, jack hated both the sling type and pounch type so $100 down the drain there for us

Covitol nappy cream (with zinc & cod liver oil)
Nothing else seemed to clear up any redness on DD's cute little bot-bot

Cloth nappies
But not for bot-bots!!! They were the perfect 'catchers' for any overflow/reflux after feeds!! Bigger & thicker than bibs (could fold multiple times) and saved multiple clothing changes....me included!!!

AVENT BREAST PUMP & microwave steriliser & avent bottles etc
Even tho DD was b/f, pump was great for that excess booby milk (and so easy to do in the middle of the night!) and the steriliser...sooooooooooooooooo easy to set up and sterilise!!!

Lansinol Nipple Cream
Oooooh heaven for me as I got cracked and sensitive nipples (now have more knowledge so am hoping to avoid as much as possible second time round - but will still have the cream for the 'just in cases')

Room thermometer
Could see what temp the room was and certainly put my mind at ease!!

Angel Baby monitor
We didn't use the sensor pad but just having the sound monitor almost right on my ear at night (when DD went to her own room) and near me during the day was also a peace bringer for my heart! Plus just the sound monitor was soooo sensitive that if I turned it right up, I could hear her little snuffly cute bubby breathing anyways!!!


And things that I have since discovered that would've been handy first time around and are now on my 'TO GET' list before this littl'n pops out:
- Baby Bjorn baby carrier/sling thing
- Rocking chair that is easy to feed in for nursery
- CLOTHES DRYER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So just a few bits n bobs! Hehe!! Will let you know if I think of anything else!
