Essential buys

Sarah1916 · 2018-12-29 14:21:21

Does anyone have any tips on essential buys for a new baby. Is there anything you bought that was a waste of money that we shouldn’t bother buying? And anything that you couldn’t live without? Does anyone have any pregnancy pillow recommendations or stretch mark cream recommendations? TIA

We had a pop-out integrated bath in the changing table we bought. Our 2-year old only just stopped using it. It took less water and had a seating curve in it so she never slipped in it.
When she was tiny we just used it in the kitchen within the changing unit with a foam bath support (great for slippery babies), as she got older I popped it into the main bath for her.
The changing table started fraying the plastic edging around its foam insides, but I used a colourful duck-tape around it, and it looks cheery and good as new now, ready for the second
