It's huge!!!

That's a pretty impressive stash you have there, you are prepared for everything now
I have just come back from a 4 day emergency stay in hospital, luckily my stash could almost rival yours and DP got through those days fine, he didn't run out of things to use on Ollies butt

I am already buying up on mediums now :O

Are you up for a suggestion?? If you suspect you are going to have a baby under 4kgs, I suggest trying a couple of NB Bummis covers too. They are a nice small fit, and fit my boy well from birth (3.44kg, 3.2 on discharge) whereas the XS Thirsties have only just started to fit nicely now (between 4 and 4.5kgs) as they are a slightly bigger fit, they are lovely though and I will be buying more

That's a great stash Ying - I'm sure there is room for some more

[Ying]

definitely room for some more Bec. Like I said, these are all nb/small size. There are some mediums (and by "some" I mean around 20 plus ) packed away but a few months after bub's born, I'll be doing some shopping again

Thanks Mel, I'll look for some bummis covers Bub should be less than 4kgs.

So what else do I need?

Some Chocolate


But seriously....other than a few more NB covers (I have about 8 in rotation at the moment) I think you are fine. But some small suggestions I could add are...

A couple of snappies if you are using pre-folds (unlike mwah who only has one atm and is always losing it)
Microfleece liners, I have about 60 that a beautiful friend made me that I can't live without (well I can but it makes me sad to see poo all over unlined nappies LOL)
Some small bamboo boosters wouldn't be a bad idea either, my little man is a super wee'r and we are finding that he can almost out wee anything that is un-boosted atm :O

Other than that, really anything that takes your fancy I have gone a bit crazy with longies purchases of late and beautiful items of clothing to show off. It is so cold atm I can't show off my nappies without turning my baby into an icicle

You will work out exactly what you will need when baby comes anyway

Checked - Have 5-6 of them lying around here

Checked - too many of them and I feel like giving some away! LOL

Checked - so many boosters,hemp, bamboo, cotton, trifold, hourglass, any shapes that take your fancy

Other than a few nb covers, I think I'm quite set but it's so hard to stop!

I know it isn't as fun but maybe hold off buying any other nappies until you know his shape/flow etc

I would suggest though learning how to knit (surprise, surprise ) - good way of focusing your energy into creating something for your bub, maybe start with a gorgeous mini soaker, and helps with those shopping cravings (but don't hold me responsible if you get knit cravings)!

Bec.

[Ying]

oh I wish Bec I'm afraid instead of focusing my energy into creating something, I'd end up being cranky and frustrated I tried learning to crochet with my mum when she was here last time, and I couldn't even start the needles right

But yes, I will hold off buying more nappies until I know what works best for him
