I feel a bit silly........

I'm so early on, but couldn't resist buying a packet of newborn nappies today    But I justified it as they were on special lol
I have been glancing at them every time I have been at the supermarket for the past few months and today thought I had a reason to buy some!
Is that silly or what!

Are there any other ladies who have bought something not long after finding out they are pregnant?

My eldest daughter (15) and I even looked in TNT today! Didn't buy anything, just looked lol

We treated ourselves to 3 pk of bibs on Sunday. Almost bought newborn nappies too, because they were on special.

Positive thinking

NEWBORN sposies Alia! They're not too bad I know I wouldn't have gone straight to cloth with those lovely meconium poops!

I'm thinking about cloth also. But agree with emz - no way do I want cloth with the sticky meconium lol. When I had my first my baby's dad referred to it as underseal that you put on cars lol, he worked in car manufacturing at the time and its exactly what it was like!

I started buying socks and packets of singlets as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I resisted the urge to buy something pink although it was so tempting and just as well - two more boys for us. So we are going to have to struggle with shops with tiny boys sections compared to the girls.

Yip your pretty brave Cat007!

melnel, whats a fuzzi?

OT... Congratulations Nefertiti!!!! Just caught up on your big news!

YAY for the Fuzzi purchase!! What colour did you get??

I think it's smart to buy these things during the pregnancy.
Especially if you're both working full time when you can generally afford to purchase these things.
We bought nappies, singlets, socks, blankets, sheets etc.
The bigger ticket items we waited to buy until we were confident the pregnancy would go full term, but I don't see anything wrong with stocking up now.
Have fun

Has anyone actually worked out the price difference between disposables and cloth. (I am not talking about environment issues here).
I went into that fuzzi website and $40 for one nappy it a lot. And especially seeming at its one size too!
So I worked it out, say you buy 10 small nappies - yes, constantly washing and drying! Well that would be $400.
$400 for one size.....Well, yesterday I bought Treasures newborn packet of 24 for $7.99. So based on this for $400 you'd get 50 packets, that 1200 nappies...and say you change baby 6 times a day (yes i know this can change!) well that would give you 200 days..which is 6 months...which wouldn't be a newborn anymore! So for me, I think thats is cheaper...

God I'm gonna be embarrased if I worked that one out wrong!

Fuzzis are $31 in nz stores... so I don't know where you got $40 from! You would need more than 10 nappies for a newborn, more like 20, but the onsell price can be alot esp if only used for one bub in small size (fuzzis are esp good as they are pretty famous) You'd be looking at 75% of the rrp back if you sold them on TM after you'd finished with them.
