I’m doing up a list of things I need for baby and thought it would be good to share, so here goes:

Breastfeeding

• Breastpad
• Nipple cream
• Breastpump (optional)
• Milkbags / containers (in the early days small containers like snappies are useful; later on bottles that fit directly on the brand of pump you use are best – I use medela)
• Cooler bag
• Coolant pack

Bottle feeding

• Steriliser
• Bottles with teats
• Bottle cleaning brush
• Bottle cleaning liquid
• Vacuum flask (optional)

• Misc medications you believe in (gripe water, ruyi oil, Vicks…)
• Nail clipper
