Think that's it - what have I missed?

Re: first, tar-like poos. I heard that smearing baby's bum with Vaseline or metanium before they do their first poo is a good idea as it wipes off more easily.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but thought I'd share my experience. Had my bag packed from 36 weeks, thought I'd meticulously covered everything. Then DD arrived 2 weeks early, a tiny 5lb 12oz and midwives looked very disapprovingly at my newborn selection of clothes and asked why I didn't have anything to fit my tiny baby Well, I wasn't expecting to go into labour early and DD certainly didn't seem to be measuring small in my scans, and I didn't have a crystal ball

My family dashed about buying tiny baby clothes and brought them to the hospital as soon as I told them

I don't think most people would buy tiny baby clothes 'just in case' would they?

If you don't have a tanking I wouldn't bother I just wore a vest top in the pool it didn't need to be a swim suit. I wasn't planning a water birth but changed my mind. I still wont take a tankini even if I have another. Lots more pads though you'll be greatful for the big cushioned ones for a couple of days!

I wouldn't bother with sudocrem of bepanthen, regular use usually causes more problems than it solves. If you get soreness (teething/diarrhoea etc), use bepanthen then but it's really not good for them long term. Blocks pores and irritates sensitive skin.

Second the pack of nappies rather than 10.

A big stick to fend off the Bounty ladies

Plastic bag for laundry.

Small plastic bags for shower stuff.

I'm 35+5, need to do mine! It's my third and I'll still forget stuff.

The best tip I got (on here) was two bags

Labour bag with all your labour only essentials and 2 outfits for dc and then post labour / ward bag that can be grabbed as your ready to go up to antenatal. (Leave it in your car)

That way you're not desperately scratting round trying to find stuff while you're in labour or post labour and feeling delicate,
