This may change my decision!</td></tr></table><br /><br />DS just hated it when I tried to put him in the wedge or the safety sleep. I think he hated being tied down or wedged in. We just put him into a gogo bag once we stopped swaddling him (maybe at 4 months) & he loved that. <br /><br />I had friends whose babies liked the wedge & safety sleep though, so I guess it just depends on your bubs personality. ]]>

I loved it! but didn't use a wedge with him as he was happy sleeping on his back.  Morgan has been in the wedge overnight when shes in the cot (hammock during the day) but she will go in the safety sleep soon too. I would wait til you know what bubs is like before getting a wedge.]]>

(AWESOME!)<br />- bibs<br />- muslin wipes - i just sewed a whole bunch (maybe about 30) into squares - about 4 layers thick. I just keep a bowl of water next to the change table to wet them. Then they just get washed with the nappies. Cheap & easy! <br />-disposable breast pads - but that's just cos I always seem to soak through the reusable ones in about 10 mins <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley5.gif" border="0"> <br /><br /><strong>Things that were really useful (though not essential)</strong><br /> - Tummy tub - great for bathing DS by myself when DH is not home<br />- removable change pad from the change table - so I could get DS undressed on the table for his bath<br /> - bath / room thermometer - useful when we were nervous winter newborn parents <img border="0" src="https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/smileys/smiley17.gif" border="0"> <br />- hammock - so easy for night time- we have it next to our bed and it's a one-finger bounce to get DS back to sleep<br />]]>

I use it for both night feeds and for soothing Jackson<br />- Angel care monitor<br />- Front pack (we didnt bother about a sling but I wish we did now cos we have just bought one)]]>

We still use ours daily and he's one now. I would like to get another 2dz before this one arrives.<br /><br />Baby carrier (sling, wrap whatever) great for being able to get things done and really good if you have a refluxy baby who needs to be kept upright. I use our sling all the time still to carry Henry for quick trips into shops etc and im 29wks pregnant. Its easier than carrying him in my arms.<br /><br />Oh and gowns for newborns. Id only 'dress' him if we were going out lol. So easy to change nappies. The ones with the drawstring at the bottom are a personal favourite<br /><br />Bibs was one for me but that was cuz of reflux so i wouldnt buy heaps until you've had baby as i know people who hardly needed them at all. I had 30+ bibs and still ran out regularly.]]>

I got mine on special at Farmers it was the Fisher Price Aquarium also come with a remote so you can restart outside the room.  <br /><br />Sterilising kit (for bottle feeding)<br />Sleep T<br />]]>

I have only used one thing of the creams I bought and only started using it recently. NB skin is so sensitive... we have only started using wipes in the past couple of weeks at home, before that we just used cotton wool squares of baby face cloths.<br /><br />I couldnt live without sleep sacks for the first 3 months when changing at night it is so much easier (DH referred to it as his boys nighty LOL).<br /><br />Stretchy swaddles, GR8X i think is the brand from babycity. I was crap at swaddling and these saved my life.<br /><br />Musical mobile,splurge on the battery operated one. That 15 minutes was my saving grace on the days when he just wouldnt sleep.]]>

But instead of stocking up on loads of wipes, nappies, lotions etc just get grocery vouchers. This is such a brilliant idea I've seen on here because you don't know if your bubs will need lotions and creams, mine certainly didnt, I haven't even used a sample pot of nappy cream let alone a normal sized pot. You don't know how big bubs will be so you don't wanna stock up on nappies of the wrong size if going with sposies and you don't know what skin type your bubs will have if you get wipes, some babies skins don't like various types of wipes. At least with vouchers you can buy as you need.]]>

(very valuable when baby is grizzly and you need to do vacuuming or get on with stuff. I find it easier with a baby in a sling or pouch instead of a pram while doing shopping. Your hands is totally free.)<br /><br />]]>
