I am expecting DC2 sometime in January and have thusfar done pretty much nothing in preparation. I think that now is probably the time, however. I remember from DS that lavendar oil, giant maternity pads and apple juice I could suck through a straw were all quite important. Also, post birth loose clothing and a stack of muslins, but what else are the crucial hospital bag and early days items? We still have moses basket, pram, baby bath etc, so I'm thinking more of the non-reusable items that my memory has blanked.
Thank you
