As Charlie is now 2 months old, I thought I'd share with you what I find invaluable, and what was a waste of money.
The best - The Tommee Tippee nappy wrapper. I bought it on offer at £15, and it is a god-send! It's so simple to use, it can be done easily with one hand, and there is no smell at all. It means I can store it in the kitchen as this is the only place I have room in this tiny flat. I never thought I would have a store of a few days supply of dirty nappies in my kitchen!! I put a Bounce sheet in the bottom when I empty it, then it smells even nicer!
The worst - The baby bath. I don't have a bath, only a shower, and it takes ages to fill with the shower head. Then back-breaking to carry it into the living room. I always spilt water everywhere . Then my knees would hurt from kneeling on the floor bathing Charlie. Didn't help with the c section either. After my hv turned up mid-bathtime, I took her advise, and now Charlie goes in the kitchen sink! It takes 2 secs to fill, it's waist height, and I only have to pull the plug to empty it, and not carry it back to the bathroom to empty.
