Things to buy.....???

Am on my way also as a friend with my kids, haaaaaaaaaaaaaa :) Shall i say 20 now? :)

You bought almost everything, though 10 people in the house! you need breathing space, especially the little one :) edited by mara12345 on 05/03/2014 Havent bought...still planning....maybe this weekend! Hahaha....now the 10 has increased 13 guests! lets hope no more in the upcoming 3 months! <em>edited by Carla1 on 06/03/2014</em>

Anything i am missing?

LOL I never once used a sterilizer and I didnt use a sleeping bag until 5 months Its all about what you feel you may or may not want to do, if you are having the baby with you or in its own room, if you are BF or not..... I knw that is not very helpfl but if you decide those things and let us know, maybe we can be more helpful :-) if you plan on formula feeding then steriliser is helpful otherwise it is useful after 6 months once you start baby on solids. sleeping bags are everybody's preference. if i can find one for my big 21 month old then i would love to have one as he keeps on kicking the blanket whole night and used to love sleeping in gro bags. Angeljoy....i saw quite big sizes of sleeping bags in Just Kidding which is near Safa park on Shk Zayed road......dont know if they will fit a 21 month old....but i guess no harm in checking as they were quite huge.....

Thank you gaijind and dangerous blond......you guys are very kind to spend so much time in writing and advising me.... Well...yes...having visitors and that also in this number is less than ideal situation for me....but this is our first child after 14yrs of marriage....and a baby in the family after 10years.....so you can imagine everyone;s excitement.....plus the culture we come from.....people dont think much about privacy......and there is no way i can stop them...as they are all family.....i am kind of worried about that time as i would not only have to think about the baby and myself but guests also...yes, they do help alot...cooking, cleaning, grocery etc. but at the end of the day they are my responsibility. MIL who is visiting now and will come again in June has bought some clothes already so have to go through and see what sizes/types they are and then plan accordingly....in majorbuys i was thinking of: 1. Cot 2. rocking chair 3. changing table (as nursery wont have a bed so i think i would need it to lay and change the baby) 4. car seat 5. pram (DH is in love with Chicco's i-move...but i am not so keen on that, please advise) 6. Steriliser (the one that goes in microwave, r they good?) 7. breast pump (something which is small and portable as i would be working from 3 months onwards) 8. moses basket or some small cot type of thing, if baby needs to sleep in out room, as i dont have space for the full size cot in my room Smaller purchases: 1. Vests 2. body suits 3. cot sheets 4. baby blanket and light sheets 5. face towels (to wipe hat gooyee white thing) 6. thermos for hot water (formula) 7. Feeders (which one should i get?) 8. baby bag 9. formula container 10. baby toiletries (shampoo, lotions, oil, nappy cream, pampers, nail cutter, cotton wool, baby wipes....am i missing something? 11. baby socks 12. sweater / cardigan (DH keeps AC on high) 13. wrapping / swaddling sheets 14. baby carrying bag ( to move around the house or to hand over to people) 15. mattress protector for cot Apologies if the list looks a bit haphazard as i just wrote what came to mind......please add/share anything you think i might need and am forgetting......also if you would advise a particular brand/ feature to look for then it would be much appreciated...... Thank you for your help ladies!

As for your questions...i will have a nursery and a nanny for the baby but maybe for the first initial months he will be with us or maybe he will sleep in his cot with nanny in the room...... I do plan to BF but then again maybe will support it with a formula also..... I would have house full of family at that time (say about 10 people)...so have to think about that also...... Anything else i am missing out on???
