Welcome mmmn.chicken
most of us are pretty clueless when it comes to baby stuff 
At least now we have a better idea of the clothes part
So everyday & night baby should have a nappy & a vest to start with & then either a daytime babygro or nighttime sleep suit (which are both full arms & legs) or a little outfit in the daytime...is that right?
Now what about hats...how long do babies wear hats for? Is it weather dependant or do they always have a hat until a certain age? There should be a leaflet on all this stuff 0 -
Hell yes! Leaflets! I need hundereds of them - I have a tonne of questions on everything. How do you know if they have eaten enough? Is it possible to feed them too much? And how often should they be fed? And winding/burping, how do you know if you are doing it right? What if you can't get them to burp? What about changing? How do you change a nappy? Do you use wipes or not? What about baby powder? Do you need nappy rash cream? How often do you bath them? Do they need a special baby towel?
Do they need any cleaning products/creams/lotions or potions? What temperature should their room be? What temperature should they be? How long should they sleep? How often? What do they wear in bed? Do you put a blanket over their grobag/sleepsuit? Do you put a vest on under it?
*deep breaths Kash, deep breaths*
Welcome chicken, jump right in!
You made me laugh out loud at the image of you pushing someone elses buggy around 0 -

Kash I'm hoping the what to expect 1st year book will answer some of this stuff...maybe I should buy it soon just in case it doesn't
The buggy thing made me laugh too...we have become buggy stalkers...seeing what brand it is as they zoom by! Not yet got the nerve to ask anyone what they actually think of their buggy
Our friend said we should just ask as she regularly has random strangers ask how old her little girl is & then size up clothes against her to see if they will fit the intended recipient 0 -
Welcome chicken! Congrats on your pregnancy, your post made me laugh.
Girls, I ended up winning 2 tickets to the baby fair on face book! Yay me!
Now to convince hubby to come with me. He'll have to, or I might go a bit mad buying stuff.
If anybody see's cow print baby clothes, like a baby grow or vest, reasonably priced, let me know please! Hubby's a farmer, so I think it would be cute.
Oh who did you win them off? That's super!
In my search for brights I came across a cow print outfit...I will look it up later & get back to you remind me if I forget as baby brain is in full force :rolleyes: 0 -

Ahm.... Alot of these things baby will tell you themselves, by caring their head off!
I think, of I remember correctly, they are to drink 4oz every 4 hours at the start...not sure how you'd know when breastfeeding though. Baby's will not drink if they are not hungry though.
You'll know if a nappy needs changing....
Don't use sudo cream unless they actually have a rash, best to use vasalene, to keep their bottom waterproof!
Burping is easy, either rub their back in circular motions, or tap lightly. Or a trick my mom thought me yrs ago if you lie baby back and then to sitting up position and do that motion nice and slow for a short while, a burp will come. I actually do this to myself when I have trapped wind and I need to burp, hubby thinks I'm crazy, lying down and sitting up and lying down and sitting up..but it works!
Hats are only worn outside or if the house is cold afaik.
Heat leaves the body through the head so that's why people put hats on. The hospital is usually very warm, so I wouldn't think you needed one there. One for going home though.
For the grow bag - I don't think you need a blanket and a gro bag. The gro bag should be warm enough, and a vest underneath is all I would put on, although again, it all depends in the house!
I'm not going to bother with a grow bag. A baby gro and a blanket should be fine.
You would usually have special baby towels for babies, with hoods, they are all I would use at the start, first 2-3 months anyway. Some people bath every night, some every second night. For the first 4-6 weeks I would prob just use water but you can get mild johnsons stuff for bathtime, some can have lavender which relaxes baby....all part of routine too, bath baby before bed..they will then know that particular smells means sleep time I.e lavender.
That's all I can think of at the moment.
Writing all this on the phone is not easy, there are probably loads of wierd auto corrects!
Love the bump java! I think I may still be slightly bigger, but not far off! Yay!0 -

Java, that looks good - especially if you can get it for half price.
We have a tiny blender already, so I'm not sure I need a new machine - at least not yet. But I think you are dead on with making your own, we'll probably do exactly the same when the time comes.
Silly, thanks for the attempt at answering my questions I could easily keep going! I think you are right though, the baby will quickly teach me what she likes/needs and what she doesn't. I'll learn! 0 -

In my search to find ticket giveaways I found you...your SMA ordeal pointed you out Cork would be handy enough for us but I'm taking my folks to Cirque Du Soleil that weekend so it has to be Dublin for us I have now entered two comps to get tickets so fingers crossed!
I will look it up as they had all sorts of cute stuff...Javagal that's a pretty cute set, must look out for it next time I'm in Mothercare 0 -

I'm sitting here deciding what to have for dinner! There's feck all food in the house so it's probably going to be a take away.....I'm starving and I can't decide what to eat at all.....I'm thinking of going to a posh take away and getting their posh burger because I think that's what I want but can I justify spending 12euro plus a 15 minute drive.....The local pub do a lovely burger but they don't do take away oh my......I am so lazy.... 0

If it's what you want then go right ahead & get it sometimes we have to indulge baby desires I really want chips from the take away where I grew up but it's 2.5hrs away :rolleyes: 0 -

Mink, you poor thing - getting mugged is a horrible experience, and especially something like the iPhone, it becomes so constant. What sort of scumbag robs a pregnant lady for **** sake.
Had you 'find my iphone' activated? You can send them a nasty message and then brick the phone, and the police can use it to locate the place it was taken to.0 -
