Maggie,

I can recommend stocking up on a few things like baby bath lotion and nappies because you are right, it is hard to find the time to do that once they are born.

A very handy little book is the Women's Weekly one that you can buy in newsagents. It's called "Baby Basics". They have little guides on basic essentials such as clothes, nappies, bath requirements etc. that you can look at and pick and choose what you need from there.

Cheers,

Mel
