Ifi,

Good to hear that; it just seems rare these days. We also encouraged walking once they could. When we moved house and youngest was walking 2kms each way to nursery in the afternoons without a daytime nap, we realised we didn’t need it at all. Happy days!

I did not buy a bassinet or anything like that for my baby girl (she is 10 month old now). Instead I put her to sleep in the crib from day one (I wish I had taken a convertible one though, I can use it when she grows). I used sheets and blankets too for her since day one. The crib is right next to my bed so I can control her several times during the night. I don’t even dream of putting her to sleep in a separate room at this age so no nursery (she sleeps well during the night but i need to have her close to check on her without getting fully out of bed). I don’t have a baby carrier and I don’t keep her all day in my arms either, she loves to play with her toys on the floor.

If I could do it all over again, I’d NOT get a crib at all. I’d use a Pack ‘n Play with the built in (removable) full-sized bassinet (for the first few months), then after the bassinet stage, the child would get used to sleeping on the bottom of the pack ‘n play, it would be more flexible for going to anyone’s house either for a late night visit, or overnight (grandma’s). Since we did get a crib, we went straight to a single bed after that (no toddler bed) with some removable side guards.

Carmen, actually we stopped using the stroller when daughter started walking… We then got an umbrella stroller, which has been used a handful of times. So 2 and 2 months is not that young

I say buy the absolute minimum since the real expense of having children comes much later on; babies are cheap and need little.

Stokke.com is a definite must, if only to be rejected. It has the most stylish nursery equipment and the best highchair on the market as far as I know. They also do strollers, of which I had two (non Stokkes) – a three wheeler for off road walking and a light, umbrella style one for town use.

We used traditional sheets and blankets as opposed to sleepsuits, but I think I am the only person I know who did this.

My girls are 17 months apart so we thankfully only needed one crib. And we ditched the strollers once our youngest turned two and 2 months precisely (house move). That seems to be young, but I think it was a reaction to seeing too many of them hanging around until kids start school; yuk!

I say skip the changing table and the diaper pail. You can change the baby wherever you are, as long as you have a little mat underneath them. And as for the diaper pail, just drop the diaper in the bathroom pail and empty every night.

Diaper bag, if you don’t care about fashion, wait and see if your hospital will give you one. We got one, and that’s what we used. It’s black, so both I and my hubby were able to use.

Furniture, I agree 100% about buying “non-baby” furniture. They serve the same purpose and are often much cheaper. That’s what we did.
