1.I already got 1 bottle with my breast pump kit and was wondering how many more I need? (I am only feeding him when I am out which probably won't be too much because of the bad weather here when he is born, and my husband will feed him the occasional night so I can have a good night's sleep)
2.What creams, oils, shampoo, baby bath do you really need?
3.When should you buy the nursing bras and how many do you need?[/quote]
Hiya babsi, in answer to your questions
1.once you steralise a bottle you need to fill it with milk or water asap then if not using it for feeding immediatly you can refridgerate them for up to 24 hours. if not used within that time you will need to throw it away. So its best to work out how many bottles you will want to give within a 24 hour period. Noah feeds every 4 hours so I make up 6 bottles a day every evening.
2.We had a talk on the topic of baby products at our baby group last week. Aparently you dont need any creams or cleaning products for your baby water alone cleans them fine, if your baby has dry skinor your want to use baby massage you are best off using cold pressed sunflower oil, as baby oils from johnson and johnson/Aven etc are all mineral based and do not absorb into the skin at all.
3.you can buy nursing barsa while still pregnant after 37weeks, as by this point your bump will have droped from your ribcage, so you can be acuratly measured, as for how many you need, well you will be wearing breast bads so as long as you dont leak through them you should be just changing your bras just as much as you used to.
Hope this helps!
