Xenforo Cloud upgraded our forum to XenForo version 2.3.4. This update has created styling issues to our current templates. We will continue to work on clearing up these issues for the next few days, but please report any other issues you may experience so we can look into. Thanks for your patience and understanding.
Just a quick bump for all the new mums - everything you could possibly need (please note you will not need it all!!) kezza's list isn't meant to scare you. Lol
I remember using this list for my first child over 2 years ago!! I've now come back to it again ready and waiting for when the times right for our 2nd child this list was so helpful!! Xx
This list does scare me a bit! But I'm so paranoid about completely not considering some things and forgetting to buy them so this is perfect to refer to- I'll definitely be printing it! Thanks a lot!
Don't be worried about forgetting some things.. It will happen to most of us ha
As long as baby has milk, clean change of clothes and a clean bum..you can buy the forgotten things as & when needed
