Winter baby needs

Everyone else sounds really helpful, will try keep mine brief -

12 bibs is prob too many to start with, usually babies don't need them until their taste buds come in at around 6wks old. I'd get a few beforehand (or stick with ones you're given) and buy more later if you find out your bubs is a dribbler (like mine - we have upwards of 15 bibs now and get through them all!!!)

Breast pads - not sure how you found it last time, but I found that the cloth pads were useless in the first 6wks, I'd soak through one side while I fed on the other! I used disposables till my supply was more predictable, about 3mths. So maybe stick with your 3 cloth sets but also buy 1 pkt of disposable pads just in case?

Buggy - if your buggy has a fully or almost-fully reclined position I wouldn't worry about a second headrest cuz you prob won't need it.

Massage oil - just get almond oil from your local health shop or supermarket, it's highly recommended, all natural and FANTASTIC for putting on bub's bottom as well, esp in the early days as it make the meconium slide off easier! (If only they'd told me that in time, lol.) Also recommended as a massage oil for preg mums Oh yeah, when you take bubs for his/her 6week check up, ask the dr for a prescription for a tub of zinc & castor oil barrier cream - it's huge, lasts for ages, and best of all, it's free! We used papaya ointment before the dr got us on to this, as it's totally natural and also has antiseptic properties.

We didn't (and still don't) use any products in Bethany's bath, or after her bath. Every so often we soap her hair with good 'ole fashioned pears soap but that's all. (She's got very sensitive skin.) Oh but you can put a few drops of almond oil in the bath water too if you want

That's it from me!
Happy getting ready!
I love your list by the way

ETA - lol sorry that wasn't so brief after all!!!
