So my friend who's 7 months pg just asked me what I wish I'd had in the house BEFORE the baby arrived?

[Twinklemegan]

For me/DH specifically. Other than copious amounts of alcohol.

I thought of tea tree oil, cos that was so so useful for the episiotomy scar (not wanting to scare her...)

And a bloody good book on breastfeeding.

Any other ideas - there must be loads of things but it was a while ago...

Gorgeous sandwich fillings, nice rolls in the freezer, lovely juice to drink ... for times when hot food and drink is too much to ask for

Also got sent tin of muffins, cookies etc when DD was born and it was fab - we ate lots and it meant we had nice stuff to give all the visitors too!
