Essentials for Baby

Wow! That's great everybody, thank you so much for helping with that. Carang, thanks for your tip about the changing mat/table. Think I'll just get the mat and use it where I like. And, Capital, again, thanks for the tip about the need/or lack of for a baby monitor. I'll hang back on that one until after baby's born to see if it's really necessary.

I've got a list together now and at the moment it's fitting on one page of A4, so I think I'm doing well!

Thanks again everybody, Polly
 
good luck! i hope that you have enough $ left over afterwards for a mani/pedi for yourself!

have fun!
 
Baby Monitor

Just another take on baby monitors . ..

For us, we made sure we had it from day one - we were afraid of SIDS. A friend of ours had their daughter about 13 years ago. One night, the dad just happened to look into his sleeping daughter (in a bassinet by their bedside, it was a little past midnight) and he noticed she had stopped breathing. He picked her up and she coughed a bit and was fine after that. It gave them a scare.

The monitor we have has a sensor pad kept under the baby's mattress. If she should stop breathing/ moving for more than 20 seconds, an alarm goes off. I was secure and could sleep soundly knowing that i would be alerted by this should anything cause her to stop breathing. Gave us a lot of peace of mind and still does (she's 13 months now - not worried about SIDS anymore, just to hear her when she's in her own room).
 
actually, angelcare was not available in B2B when i needed it. We got the Tomee Tippe Suresound one. But I believe Angelcare is a better one. They had one model that came with rechargeable batteries - that's better. It also has much less static than Tomee i think.
