If you are going to use disposibles -Nappies Nappies Nappies. Keep an eye out at the weekly catalouges that clog up your mail box for who has a special on - we use huggies and between Safeway, Coles and IGA you usually are able to get them on special with $10 off. It will still be cool when you bub's arrives so singlets and you can get the little t-shirt type of singlet that does up in the crutch which I found handy in winter - singlet, then the t-shirt type of top then clothes to keep warm on cold days. Mackenzie wasn't a vomiting baby so we really only went thru one change of clothes a day and for the first few months she lived in all in one jumpsuits. We were given gorgeous outfits as gifts when she was born so these were worn when we went out. In regards to bedding, we had 3 changes of sheets and cot blankets. Just in case we had a wet thru or if the washing didn't get done. I only had one under blanket/matress proctector and only had to resort to using a blanket underneath one night when Mackenzie was sick in bed and it went all the way thru to the protector too. We didnt' use wipes at home for the first 6 months - we used warm water with fase washers. We just couldn't bring ourselves to putting a cold wipe on her bottom in the middle of winter. (I had a travel pack of wipes for when we were out) I bought a few packs of the softy face washers from target - all bright colours and used them. I had white ones for her bath - that way I didn't get the bum washers on her face. I know they were washed but just didn't like the thought! We were given so many clothes as gifts we didn't really need to buy much. I found I had to buy a few new all in ones as she grew but before I knew it she was in 'big peoples' clothes most of the time. I also buy a lot of clothing at the end of each season for the following year. I always seem to find a bargin. I ramble a bit so I hope this helps.
