Has everyone got everything for their new arrival?

I just need a changing bag and formula. Struggling to find a suitable bag so may buy one online later. Only thing left formula. Went in sainsburys yesterday with intention of buying cow and gate just because ive joined their online club was gonnna just get a few lil cartons and one tub.then bam noticed other makes offer different things, see im planning to brestfeed but obviously not sure if or baby will take to it. The I saw sma gold which said u can breastfeed or bottle feed on it. Cow and gate looked my bottlefeed only. So after like 20mins of standing there I drparted lol vowing to goback another day.

What else do you need? Any ptobs getting it?xx

I just need some sheets for the moses basket, a few more bottles and some formula in case breastfeeding doesn't work out. Keep thinking there must be other stuff I haven't thought of! x x

i dont have a changing bag either and i havent bought the base from my car seat. Also i want to breastfeed i did last time, but i keep panicking that if it doesnt work out ive no bottles. but then i dont want to give in and buy any, so i keep putting it to the back of my mind lol x x x

Lol! I have more to buy than I've brought! I'm not even going to get any formula so I'm not tempted and just get it if things don't work out at the time. I have bottles though as I will express sometimes. I've read aptimal is meant to be the closest to breast milk not sure if that's true or not though! I got that free changing bag with the boots club, might just use that although it looks quite small! Can you tell I hate shopping!

I think we're pretty much sorted now. Just need to pick up a few bits here & there for the hospital bag. I've been having a hard time finding pre-sterilised milk bottles for the hospital, they all seem to come in huge packs of 24! I don't really want to buy that many as I'm hoping I'll be able to breast feed. Has anyone been able to pick up smaller packs of these?

I have pretty much everything I need. I just need to get bottles, bibs, muslin squares, some emergency formula, a breast pump and a changing bag.

I'm planning on breastfeeding, but I want to express as well so OH can do some of the feeding, I don't want him to feel left out, and plus if I'm sleeping, he can do some night time feeding!!!

I have some bedding already for the cot and the moses basket but I want to buy more.

Think that's about it! I still haven't packed my hospital bag though - nightmare! OH will be back in about 10ish days so I'll do it when he's back!

Am nearly there.... cheap pack of nickers for me and pack my bag.... My friend is buying me a changing bag... hopefully all sorted then.

Just going to spend 6 weeks of maternity leave before baby comes to sort house out... Maybe I should of left some stuff to do on maternity leave.

Pretty much sorted. have decided not to get bottles or formula at all (well at the moment) because at my BF workshop they suggested that if you have it ready in the house, it's too easy to give up on BF the second it gets difficult.
