Those baby nail clippers are lethal. I file his nails with an emery board, no risk of nicking him (have never tried nibbling them myself)

And yeah, a 2nd bouncer/chair. When you are bringing them around the house when you're doing you're bits and pieces, you need another place to plonk them upstairs. And little toys in different areas as well to keep them amused (once they are old enough to actually see things)

I think romper/play suits (the little suits with short arms and legs - they are outer wear, not vests) are only of any use when it's really really hot out. I have about 10 that people gave me and I used two of them once.

Apart from all the usual stuff, I found the baby formula measure thing from boots excellent, it has 3 compartments that you put the scoops into so you have your pre measured amounts x 3 ready for the night ahead and you're not trying to measure out formula with a baby crying/spilling it etc. Also the bathing chair that's in the Argos catalogue, it's approx €20, you just fill your sink, put chair in and sit baby into it, no stress, still using it at 16 wks and she loves it, final things are the more obvious swing chair/bouncers and the floor mats with overhead mobiles to entertain baby so mammy can get something done for a few mins!

Most needed for me was bibs and more bibs.

Ive also never used the nappy bin thing even though is was on my must have list!
The vibrating chair is a total god send as is the baby floor gym and mickey mouse!

Found out this day last year I was pregnant!! My little girl is now 15 weeks,so to anyone who just found out your pregnant or is about to pop, get ready for the most amazing rollercoaster of your life. I have made some amazing ,hopefully life long friends (and future son in law!!) on here who, without, I doubt I would of enjoyed the experience so much! Hoping one of them sprog up at the same time as me again!!. I'm thinking mink probably!

Hello,

I'm sure by now you have your lovely healthy babies so I don't know if there's anyone out there who can help me. I was just wondering where you got your birth pools from. I'm due for a homebirth in Feb and I don't have a pool yet. I've been looking on eBay but they're about E150 and I have to raise E1600 for a deposit and a months rent in advance by mid Jan all out of E186 a week :O Ergo I was wondering if any of you are getting rid of or know where I could borrow a birth pool from? I've heard you can get liners for about E30.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Happy times with your babies. Wish me luck.
