I hope this is the right place to put this - open to suggestions if not!

I’m looking at lists of things to buy ahead of childbirth and feeling somewhat overwhelmed by choice. There are so many different versions of everything!

So I wondered if I could prevail on collective wisdom: what were the absolute top things you bought or were bought for post childbirth? Items and ideally also brand, unless you feel that’s irrelevant.

I’ll kick off by saying Lansinoh nipple cream gets a good write up from a close friend and from my sister, both of whom have repurchased it at least once.

Also used bbhug me pregnancy pillow for breastfeeding

Recommend some Laxido or similar

I have a small inexpensive room thermometer from amazon. The monitor says its 4 degrees hotter so wouldn't trust the monitors!

@Skyla01 I had a gro blind. Highly recommend. You can really get into the corners with it to block out all light

Another vote for love to dream swaddles. I used big (1m square) muslins for the first month and then switched to live to dram and love them
