help needed with coming baby stuff...

[beauty12]

my budget for baby was £300. But i hve already gone above that...
I hve bought a travel set and 3in1 bouncer for £184.40... Now i m buying a cot+mattress+6pc beddings for £92. Its a great deal cant miss...

In clothes i only got
7 vests 0-3
2 hats  1size
2 pairs of booties 1size
5 pairs of socks
8 bibs
1 shawl

Small pack of new born pampers
Changing bag
Changing mat
1 towel

I have got to buy so many things... I m so worried as my budget is so low...
I was thinking if u could give me any idea what should i buy.. Just for now.. Thn as soon as my budget opens i can go back and buy more stuff... May be things which i can use for a month or so... After that i ll get more stuff...

In UK they dont really give you all this :S.. i havnt seen free stuff with my sister in laws. they had to buy everything...

thats what i am planning at sleep suits, may be just one or two outfits if my budget allowed me.. i still need to buy another shawl or something to keep him warm in cot.. he is due in march by that time cold weather will settle and hot weather will start to set in... so i m just trying to make sure that i buy things according to that weather as well

yeh they are just good for push chairs and stuff but with cot i am buying it from ebay.. its £91.00 very very cheap because only bedding sets are 29.99.. and mattress itself is £25-£40.. and than cots start from £50.. but on ebay i found it all of it together for 91.00 and sale will end after 3 days.. i am just confirming my doubts from seller once they are out of the way cot will be here...

Cheap onsies and sleepers is really all I used for the first few months. Newborn clothes only last a couple of weeks.  I wouldnt put alot of money into clothes at all because babies grow extremley quickly . And alit of times they wont like wearing bulky dresses and all the assesories ay all. My kids hated wearing hats but I,made them when we left somewere to decrease ear infections. All u need really is onsies, sleepers, diapers, wipes, bottles, blankets,car seat . They give u a free pacifier at the hospital plus a seringe, hair brush, hat. And someother things.

I will' I want to mothercare an pushchair was like £500 thats my whole budget. Argos an tesco an asda are not useful either. Been looking at guntree an ebay bt I think kiddicare is really good.

[beauty12]

I got it from kiddicare online they were cheap compare to argos asda tesco etc.. I got picture of it in my profile if you want to have a look...

Good question i am 28weeks +3days an i havent got anything yet. Can you plz tell me thevname of the pushchair an where you got it. I wont be having a baby shower either family will get thing for me after the baby is here. Thats how we do things no one in my family ever had a baby shower.

You can check the baby consignment stores for things that you might need, their affordable & not expensive also you might not want to buy too many newborn outfits because the baby is gonna grow so fast that they may not be able to wear all of the outfits but anyways merry chrismas !!!! And be safe :)

I wouldn't worry too much about clothes, I would say maybe 10-15 outfits per age group cuz they grow outta them so fast

[beauty12]

Lol nop i m not taking anything from family... Thy might give me just cash or clothes when baby is born...
I know i m going to buy few sleep suits and toiletries like wipes n bath stuff... But now i m thinking all i bought is 0-3 mnths... I ll be needing new born cloths aswell..

Well are you going to have a baby shower? I'm not sure about the help in Europe but we have places that will help expecting moms buy the necessities. You're gonna need bottles and onesies
