ok,i think the basics were six underwear babygrows (no legs)short or long sleeved depending on the season. six sleepsuits,a sling,a carseat,nappies,cotton wool,baby oil for a pink bottie(weleda the only decent one i found)three cardigans,breastpump in case you get engorged (use sparingly!)cabbage in the fridge as you can guarantee you will need it just when all the shops are shut.A moses basket is handy even if you co-sleep as baby can snooze in it in the daytime.A couple of blankets ,stretchy ones are good for swaddling.Everything else was pretty non essential,I liked my fleece for the baby to lie on,cutey daytime outfits etc,but I didn't NEED anything else.

thanks helly!

anything else anyone?

Unfort I don't know how to put a link on but I just bumped the 'have you bought anything that is a waste of money' because it is also very helpful re the essentials!
