What couldn't you live without!!

[gypsy13]

Good morning ladies

I've been doing some reading and thinking lately on what i need for the first month after i take the baby home, I'm 39 weeks and this is my first baby.
I think i have the important things but I'm not sure... I just wanted to ask all the mothers here what helped them/ what couldn't YOU live without in the first months of having your newborn at home.
Even if its just advise or stuff that would help me. My partner cant stay home with me for long either only 3 days after baby is home, due to work. Also we have only bought the essentials of what we think we will need due to our finances, but now I'm beginning to worry that we don't have enough or the right things as we where just guessing when we did our shopping.

Any advise would be go wonderful!
Thanks ladies!! oxoxo

Swing and or bouncer are god sends!!! swing was the best thing we bought!!!!!!

Easy to grab snack foods that can be eaten with one hand while feeding can help also.


Good luck

Swing has been the best thing we've bought!
and our close carrier, for when she's really fighting sleep and those quick trips to the shops.

Hey ladies.. thanks heaps for your thoughts... so a swing seems to be the way to go...
I have a bouncer that was given to me... i'll look into getting a swing and a sling to carry baby aswell.

Thanks again for your help

Definitely a sling for baby! Get one that you can use for ages, stay away from Baby Bjorns as they are yucky but a Tyion sling, Hug-a-bub or Close Carrier style are wonderful and last you ages. My bub is 8 months and its still my most essential bit of kit!

Good luck with your beautiful upcoming birth. Relax and enjoy it! You'll have your baby in your arms very soon!
