Hi ladies
Let me start by saying that I deeply hate any kind of shopping (except grocery - weird I know). I'm approaching 34 weeks now (1st baby) and I'm quite superstitious and don't want to buy much until very close to my due date. So far we only bought a pushchair, cot bed and changer/dresser, all to be delivered a 1-2 weeks before dd and everything is fully returnable/refundable in case god forbids smth bad happens.
Nonetheless, I realise I need to prepare and do more shopping, so the plan is to select and order everything and have delivered close to dd, as above. I now need your help with the shopping essentials. Are there any good shopping lists online you'd say cover it all? FYI, I am planning to express and bottle feed (breast milk and formula).
I am getting the following items from a friend (barely used):
Baby bath
cocoon
Baby Bjorn
I know I will also need:
-Changing table mattress
-playmat
-bouncer/swing: any recommendations/reviews for this???
-breast pump
-bottle steriliser
I have no clue whatsoever how many sets of sheets, clothes, bottles, dummies, etc I need. I know I could go to a shop and talk to a sales person but I think they'll try to sell as much as possible and I may end up with stuff I won't need. PLEASE help!!!
