This baby bath was a godsend for us. Only stopped using it at 6mnths! I gives you one hand free to do the washing. When we were at a mates house and used their normal bath it was a nightmare. So slippery I didnt want to let either hand go!

stock up on muslins. We didnt use bibs until a few months old. Muslins were everywhere though.
dont get bibs with plastic backs. They just stick to LO and dont absorb the fluid that gets underneath
dont bother with top and tail bowl. Just wash the top end first!
remember a lot of things you wont use till a few months in, like the changing table (you will more than likely use the floor in the living room for the first while) and pretty much everything in the nursery. So no need to get it all ready for the birth. Spread the cost!
best tip is to know that you will get the baby blues after the birth, and when your milk comes in a few days later you will start to feel better. I used to burst into tears as soon as I opened door to midwife in the morning or if anyone asked me how I was.
also the baby probably wont sleep in their moses basket for the first few weeks. They will only sleep on you or your hubby. This is normal. They like the warmth and the heartbeat. So DONT worry!
also limit your visitors. Especially if breastfeeding. They can put you off and make it all the more difficult for you.
and take all the help you are offered. When you are dog tired after a long labour and not slept for 3 days, trust me. You will let the mother in law wash your knickers! x
