Your right Binkle it absolutely is. Its also expensive. Which is fine while we have 2 incomes but once baby is born we wont. I also thought about stocking up in the sales but if for example we get our summer baby theres no reason at all to buy winter things in 0-3 month size. So I really want a due date before I start shopping. Babies only wear things for such a short amount of time so its really season specific for what age I need to get.
However in adding to this forum I went to the Marys Market on Saturday (for work) in Auckland (they also have them in all major towns) And thats the place to go! Great sales on marino and organic cotton. Its really worth while. I forget what city you are in Binkle but its well worth checking out. Anyway give it a google I think thats where I will stock up.
