I'm 36 weeks pregnant on Thursday with first baby. I'm packing hospital bag. I'm ok packing my stuff, but need help on the baby side of things!
Over the weeks I've picked up various things and now I'm overwhelmed.
I have baby wipes, cotton wool, water wipes, tesco nappy cream, johnsons nappy cream, petroleum jelly, talc, baby oil, sudocream, metanium barrier ointment, nappy sacks, nappies in two brands and two sizes.
What do you need to change a baby? What do you use?
I'd like to use water wipes, instead of cotton wool. Sometimes I read these are ok, other times I read they're a no no and you should use cotton wool.
What do I do once the baby is clean, what do I put on its bum after?
What size nappies and how many? Do I take both sizes?
Do I take a fold up changing mat in the bag too?
Starting to freak out as I have no idea what I'm 'meant' to do and also don't want anyone frowning or telling us off at the hospital for the first nappy changes!
Help! and wish me luck please!
