Primark have some lovely baby basics too like bodysuits, vests etc...

I picked up some little body suits for one of my nephews in the sale the other day, 3 for £1 - I got some in in the next couple of sizes as they always come in useful and at that price I couldn't leave them, too good a bargain.

Hello FurMonster.
You've had some great suggestions, particularly about pre-worn clothes etc. As long as clothes don't have loose buttons/bows/ties and have been washed, they are fine.
One thing I will say though, is that you can never have too many bibs! It is far easier to change bibs than to have to change outfits several times a day if your baby is particularly sicky or dribbly!
As long as your baby is happy and enjoying cuddles, it won't mind what it's wearing!
Good luck!

i'm pretty sure there's a list in one of the pampers/bounce (?) packs that tells you everything. pram, car seat (if appropriate), blankets, babygrows, nappies, dummies (optional), bottles, steriliser unit unless breastfeeding, bouncer/rocking seat (again, optional), changing mat, baby monitor. I would wait until one of the supermarkets has one of their baby & toddler events as you can save a fortune on some of the more pricey things. Don't panic about getting everything in though - when baby arrives you'll still be able to go shopping - you don't need everything first! xx
