I shall talk to the Gods

Also girls if there's anything else you think would be needed write it here and I can update the list

 

[Mamafy]

And it's stuck

what is the minimum amount of vests and sleepsuits that u can get by with?

 

[Mamafy]

TBH at least 10 of each and in the first weeks they may go through an outfit at every feed between sicking up and nappy leaks/wee'ing on their clothes

I'd buy a couple of 7 pack body suit vests and at least 3-4 sleepsuit sets of 3 and prepare to have the washing machine on flat out But if you buy many more it's a waste as well because they won't get more than a month or two's wear in them at this age due to fast growth

that's what I was thinking, at leas in August I should ba able to get a few loads of washing in and dry in a day without the dryer (although we are taking about the english summer )

ok, how many sheets and blankets?

I'd say 6 sheets and see how you go, they tend to sick up on these ....alot and 3-4 blankets

mel_ed just had to ask my mum the same thing. lol.
Helps blow their nose apparently.

It's a really clever little device

Newborns tend to be snuffly and congested and obviously they can't Bblow their noses so this little device gently sucks anything out.

Joy. I cant wait!

 

[Mamafy]

It's designed fo you to wear every single item of clothing that has been bought for them

I suppose we were going to find out eventually!

I'm like one of those straight up books that you don't want to read because it's far too real

We had this one but without the ear bit???? TBH I found it useless.



Nasosal drop's worked everytime!

Muslin cloths can laid under babies head to protect the pram/moses/cot from sick/sweat = less changing of sheets and washing pram, quick and easy to change too especially when out and about!
