God remember reading baby mags must buy list with pfb convinced us we needed everything stupidly brand new,
I admit to buying the slumber bear white noise thing broke after a month was never convinced cant remember hiw much cost and think we were too tired so never got round to taking it back.
Brought the swing far too late,
baby no 1 cried for 9months even resorted to cranial ostepoath with dh acting like he was some sort of con artist.
I mostly like jojo but agree they pricey and ok specific things amzed they survived in recession when blooming marvellous dident.
Ikea high chair-my fave high chair ever.
moses baskets dident get huge amount use used and prefers mini travel cot with no 2 and no 3.
beaba cook can see appeal not just steamer and blender warms up food and after hours of being pureeing maniac and cleaning big blender with no 1 must be easier but did baby led weaning with no 2 and 3 and brouught the odd jar all organic of course.
But its gone up hell of a lot 1st born 2006 and last 2011 horrifie how much same products gone up
My guillty indulgent magazine was junior baby lots posh london types, designer nurseries, jojo adds and £100 tiffiny rattles and how to start baby list at department store we would never of had the cheek to do that.
I like to think in recession people less gullible
we brought so much 2nd hand 2nd/3rd time round.
