As above really... I know you should buy new cot mattress & car seat but what else has to be new?x

As far as i know just a cot mattress? xx

I would recommend a new changing mat and quite a few people say sterilisers but I got most my stuff second hand including car seat but only because I knew where it's from. x

pretty much everything i own is second hand or borrowed! my cot matress is new but my cot is 2nd hand. and i got treated to a new travel system by the inlaws. i bought muslin squares and bibs and towels and blankets all new, but ive been given so many clothes so not bought any of them new hardly! and i build my collection of nappies up whenever i go shopping x

the rest of the stuff was a daughters old baby things xx

Most things I have are second hand. I'll be getting a new mattress for Moses basket and cotbed which my parents are buying. Also new sheets and blankets. It's lovely how generous people are when you're expecting! I'll probably end up with more than I need.

other than car seat and mattress i think it depends on how little you have to spend. My OH's mum is obsessed with shopping so everytime i see her she gives me something new. i have picked quite a few things up of ebay and in the charity shop.
If i was using reusable nappies I'd buy them new too.
