my youngest is 6 now and the memory isnt what it was :gimmer:
my sister is expecting and i am a teeny bit chuffed to bits.
when i had my babies i had no idea and little contact with other mums... was the only one in my peer group... i moved away from the city to a place i knew no-one... one thing i did have was money to burn (i hope that doesnt upset anyone, and fwiw, i dont anymore) and so i bought loads of stuff, most of which in retrospect i couldve saved the money for and spent it more wisely - oh well !
my sis is doing this on a more normal budget (ie low) and im trying to think of the best stuff i can get her... the really brilliant ideas and products that make life rather sweet, without getting tons of crap - apart from anything else, she hasnt got room for that anyway.
SO
what things were/are brilliant in your experience?
-ive gotten lovely swaddle muslins
-an amber necklace
-whats the BEST nappy cream?
-shes told me what bag she wants...
-and shes got a fair few clothes n stuff now.
what else??
my fave board book for babies was the Amazing Baby, Baby Boo one, but i got that ages ago...
