Hello you lovely lot!
I've got a nice list of what I need to buy, narrowed down to just the 'essentials' by all your help! My next question would be how many of each?
Especially:
Muslin cloths?
Moses basket / crib sheets?
Cot sheets?
Blankets?
Grobags?
How frequently do you change their bedding? Is it just as it's soiled ? Or after so many nights?
Sorry for all the questions! First time mum here and your help is always so useful (and appreciated)!
Thank you so much in advance! 😊

It depends on what you are going to use. Most newborns are too small for grobags so need a swaddle or blankets first. So you can probably wait and buy grobag if you decide to use after 3 months or so.

I think in terms of all bedding 2 of each is usually plenty. One in use, one washed and then ready to swap over. I would usually change baby bedding every 7-10 days when I also change main beds, unless it was actually dirty beforehand in which case changed as frequently as needed.

Muslin cloths - the little ones for dribble/ milk, probably 5. Larger ones to swaddle baby, use as thin summer blanket etc probably 2.
