What else do I need???

So I'm trying to figure out what else we NEED to get....so far we have:

2 bassinets
2 cots
Double pram
6 sets of sheets (cot size, so can use them on both cot and bassinet)
At least 6 blankets - including one wool, although we are hoping to find a second one
Approx. 25-30 cloth nappies (various brands, but mainly EcoBots and TotsBots)....need to get some more inserts - what is the best type???
1 merino wrap - am getting a second one as well
Far too many clothes!!! LOL

I know we need to get more wraps - how many is ideal? We also need to get the little things like creams and bottles...and a breast pump

Is there anything else that I am missing??

Wow that has gone so fast! not long now till you have 2 babies so excited.

definitely hold off the creams and stuff... you will get some inthe bounty pack.. and have you applied for your reach me pack, they usually have some cream in there....

the baby factory has some awesome wraps at good prices, i like muslin type ones with a bit of stretch... i can hunt up mine if you want and send them on, i dont need them anymore and they are in good condition. what sort of wool blanket were your after. i found the aircell ones great, also from baby factory. (i went mad on blankets, got too many of all sorts but couldnt stop myself from bying them).

flannels....

Plastic backed bibs are good and I prefer ones that stretch over the head rather than velcro or popper together, Spencer learnt quickly how to rip those ones off.

I bought some little face cloths that I use as bum wipes and then proper adult size ones but in bright colours for their faces, good to keep the two seperate
I have bought baby towels as well, perhaps unnecessary but I have found that they stay a lot softer than our normal towels which always seem a bit scratchy for baby skin unless they have been in the tumble drier.

Oh and the thing I think is really really great is travel sleeping bags, means they are always toasty warm in the pram and you can transfer them from pram, to car, to bed without having to wake them up.

Breastpump I had a medela double electric but it's broken, was very good until it broke (I flooded it with breastmilk cos I hadn't noticed the bag was kinked and not filling up). Have just bought a medela swing which is suppose to be even better. I also had a manual avent one which was very good if you only need to pump now and then.

I third about the creams, I am still using the tiny test pot of sudocream that I got in Spencer's bounty pack, my two very rarely get sore bums and when they do I give them more nakey time so rarely need to resort to creams.

I'm keeping an eye on those sleeping bags cuppatea...JK have some cool ones...we ideally would like some, I just haven't focussed on finding them yet hehe

Oh you rock Lisa - thank you!!

Those old nappies also make good inserts for the pocket nappies.
We use liners in our cloths, less messy with poo and also protects the nappy from any creams you may use.
We couldn't live without tea tree oil. We use it in the inserts soaking bucket, a few drops in her washing, a drop in her bum-wipe container, oh so many uses!
Do you have a few buckets/containers for the nursery? We have a bucket with lid for soaking, rubbish bin with lid for, well, rubbish. And a plastic storage container as a washing bin.

A baby bath? Highly recommend the BIG blue baby baths at Baby Factory (I think it was around the $20 mark if that when we bought it, saw them still selling at BF the other day)- Lucas STILL insists on having his baths in his one everynight (and at 26 months old, and really tall for his age - he still fits into it sitting upright ...for how much longer I don't know ) but it has been the BEST thing we've bought considering its been used 26 months thus far...he has an aversion to my parents big bath lol!

I was in Baby factory on the weekend & they have super specials on now. All cause this new labelling that needs to be in clothes.

I pick up those top-sleeping bag things which have the seat buckle holes in them for $15.00

They also have merino clothing the cheapest I've seen. YK the plain colour stuff.
