Hello,
I could really do with some advice. I live in Vietnam, expecting No.1 and so DH and I have spent last two days trailing round the (high-end) baby shops in the capital city with our baby list (compiled thanks to mumsnet, UK-based baby books etc) to see what we can and cannot buy here. Grandparents-to-be will be coming over, so we will request certain items but I need to know what is really helpful and what is not!
So, things we don't appear to be able to buy here include:
*Moses basket - do we just go straight into a cot? We can buy a travel cot (a chicco one, with change mat thing and wheels, called a "play and nap".)
*Muslin squares - would small towels/facecloth type things work instead?
*breast-milk bags for expressed milk - I assume I can store breast milk in sterilized bottles.
*Baby bedding - I guess most mums here use old adult bedding cut to size. Has anyone done this?
Thank you!

Do I really need these things for a newborn? What could I use instead?
