I've compiled a list of things to buy, trying to keep things minimal and inexpensive due to low income because of the pandemic. Here's what I have so far:

  • x14 bibs
  • x10 baby grows + x3 sets of t-shirts and leggings (mostly in 0-3 months and some 2nd hand)
  • x6 pairs of socks
  • x7 vests (might add more)
  • Cardigans (being handmade by family)
  • x12 muslin squares
  • A few scratch mits
  • A couple of hats
  • changing mat for home and travel
  • x2 dummy clips
  • Purflo sleep nest for downstairs
  • Next 2 Me crib for bedroom (will be 2nd hand)
  • x3 bottles (planning of BF)
  • Nuby silicone breast pump
  • Bath support
  • Nappy bin
  • Changing bag

Things I'm not sure on (quantity wise and brands)

  • Sheets and blankets (not sure how many to get or what kind)
  • Dummys (how many?)
  • Breast pads (what kind is best?)
  • Nipple cream (what brand?)

Things I've left out are nappies, back up formula, wipes etc. I know I have to get these but will leave it closer and hope the stock gets better. Also left out the things we already have like a travel system, bouncer chair and BF pillow.

Am I missing anything else?

Lansinoh nipple cream is the best. You have everything covered tbh. We never used Muslins during the newborn stage but they’ve been used to death since he started weaning Grin.

The mam dummies come in their own little steriliser box. Agree with a baby gym or a rocking seat for baby to go in. We had a battery one that rocked itself and it was brilliant. Also we bought some big muslin to go over bed sheet and tuck right under to reduce the amount of bed sheets we washed due to a bit of sick. And a ewan the dream sheep. Also a baby monitor
