    hi childondaway

    Congrats!! You sound like you have most things covered... i dont know about private health cover- but every time i have been to dr for ds it has been bulkbilled- immunisation costs are free and your health checks are also..

    The only unexpected expenses occur if you need medication (things i have bought are Infants Friend and stuff for thrush)

    Also baby wipes!! lol when ds does a poo i need to use lots!! And a good bum cream!!

    Umm i cant think of much else- we were given so much stuff by people that ds is 6months old and i still have bath wash, nappy creams and stuff i havent even used yet!! The only thing i regularly have to buy is wipes and nappies (use sposies here) and food now he is trying solids- other than that he has been pretty darn cheap!!

    Good luck!
