Sterilising unit/bottles (if you are bottle feeding), nappies lol - seriously though buy a couple small packs then a couple larger packs maybe one a month or something because it all adds up and when lo is here they'll be so much other things to be buying. I stocked up onthings like cotton wool, but depends if you're going to use cotton wool or baby wipes (I didnt use wipes till Joshua was a few months old). baby hats (cotton) and mits (scratch mits are almost an essential I personally think anyway lol). Breast pads and sanitary products for you. Baby bath (so much easier than using the big bath when they are tiny) Sounds like you got all the important things sorted, car seat is a must if you have a car, and a bed the rest follows!

Bibs, dummies if you plan on using them, baby changing bag for when you go out, breast pump (again, if your bf or expressing). If i can remember anything else important, i'll get back to you, but my mind has gone blank. x-x-x

Have just started packing my hospital bag.....and have bought disposable pants again this time! I've used them after every baby - I like to just be able to throw them away. They're probably the least glamourous pants you could ever imagine - but then it's probably the least glamourous time of your life anyway!lol
I think they're great - at least for first few days anyway!
