Most of the lists on websites etc are making me laugh with all the things they consider 'essentials'
what do you really, really, need?
so far I have got
maternity pads
breastfeeding pads
few baby clothes
nappies
cotton wool
somewhere to put baby eg moses basket, made up with sheets
if in hospital:
clothes for me to come home in
nightie(s)
towel(s)
toiletries
maternity notes
what have I forgotten?
