I thought I would post this for those who are still thinking of what they need to buy. The feeding bit it more geared towards breastfeeding as that's what I plan to do alongside expressing - hence the bottle stuff. Back up is a good plan so it can be used for formula too.

God that took forever!! Copy and paste didn't work due to the way I had set it out on Word - so I had to cut and paste a section at a time! Don't know if I have gone way overboard or even missed stuff out others found essential - but it might help those who asked for this from me
(Also have 'what to take into hospital' list ready!
)
Hope you're all doing well xx
