What do you buy a newborn baby boy?

[kittya]

Whose mother has been shopping for him since the day she found out? She has covered all bases and not cheap stuff either.

Im so used to girls, I havent a clue!

Lansinoh and maternity pads.

After three babies and endless lovely pretty cute things tumbling through the letter box I wondered when someone would get me something that I NEED RIGHT NOW!

Are a great big box of chocolates. Some companies do special "New baby" ones. Cos his parents will need food they can eat with one hand...

Congrats btw.

Baby thermmometer is a GREAT idea - we gave one to a friend who had had twins and she says she uses it all the time and prob wouldn't have spent that much herself on a thermometer.

Get a fancy one like they use at the doctors - in the ear and bleap. Saves so much faffing at 2 in the the morning.. do you think baby is hot?... etc...

what about raggy-tag play blankets?

Ive gone with a grobag, i just hope she uses it!! from what age is appropriate?

DS1 didn't play with his raggy tag but hoping DS2 will like it. We just bought a friend witha PFB DS a WMF cutlery set on amazon. Kind of a keepsake thing, useful, something they probably won't have yet and iirc about 16 quid, so not pricey either

I have bought him a grobag and those trumpette socks because they get such good reviews.

Now, off to the Boden sales site.
