Singlet AIOs and nightgowns :) They are the best things EVER!!

Definitely agree with strawberryjam, don't bother with the cute fancy stuff cos a) they can be a pain, and b) you will be given heaps when bubs is born.

Swaddling wraps are great, but make sure they are at least 1m x 1m, muslin and merino

Good luck ]]> Fri, 13 Nov 2009 13:18:26 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29863&PID=837201&title=needs-for-the-newborn#837201 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29863&PID=836876&title=needs-for-the-newborn#836876 Author: Inlove28

I would suggest getting around 4 or 5 onesies in newborn and 0-3 months as you cant be sure who big bubs will be and they do grow into them. A couple of singlets underneath but in saying that Feb is very hot. Also lots of nightgowns. Babies dont need designer clothes in the first couple of months its not comfortable for them and they have such sensitive skin.

Cardies and over pants too if you have short all in ones.

Nappies I have brought a pack from the supermarket each shopping trip along with wipes. You could also pick up bibs each week.

The lists you can get online are great and I used this one and got most things on it

Loads of all in ones!! all the clothes look so cute and little but all in ones are fab and practical. Or little night gowns too for easy nappy changing, especially at night.

As for naps, I used disposables for my first, and hope to use cloth for both once the new one is born, but will still use disposables when this one is up to about 6 to 8 weeks, the little guys just seem to explode, poos for africa, especially if they are breast fed!!]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:26:58 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29863&PID=835553&title=needs-for-the-newborn#835553 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29863&PID=835515&title=needs-for-the-newborn#835515 Author: FreeSpirit

Clothing and bedding - natural fibres. Cotton, merino, woolen, bamboo.

Nappies - Try before you buy - unless you've used them before. If you want to buy some now to put away, get one or two of each sort (hook and loop, snaps, OSFM, sized, AIO, SIO, pockets, prefolds, the list goes on, and on.) There are so many options, it really is best to try and hire some to start with. ]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:01:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29863&PID=835515&title=needs-for-the-newborn#835515 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=29863&PID=835449&title=needs-for-the-newborn#835449 Author: AandCsmum

Hi ladies,

My baby is due next Feburary. I want to start shopping for him or her. Any advice for it, especially about clothes and clothes nappies?
