What have you all bought for your baby so far?

So far I have ordered (but not got) the pram and car seat.

I've got at home 5 sleep suits, a hoodie jacket thing and a very hungry caterpillar outfit.

Interested in what you ladies have been buying :)
 
Nothing. Lol... I literally have not bought a single thing, and we need everything because we're having a boy this time. I'll probably get some furniture over the next month or so and then wait until after the baby shower to buy anything else.
 
Plenty of clothes, six bottles, and 2 pacifiers :haha:

That is it though!! I feel terrible
 
The only thing we've gotten so far is a painting for the nursery. We are still putting together a list of what we need and trying to get as much as possible borrowed or donated to save money. I'm trying to resist buying much until after a baby shower.

I am knitting a swaddler and my relatives have already told me they've started collecting/knitting clothes.
 
I've got the Crib, Stroller, Car seat, 3/4 receiving blankets, 5 white onesies, 2 soft blankets, a crib sheet and some wash clothes. Thats it. At 21 weeks, I feel like its time to start gathering more. I really need to order my cloth diapers too.
 
Just about everything alot preloved bargains.

Cot and mattress
Moses basket and stand
Travel system
Electric breast pump
Electric steriliser
Bottles x 6
Dummies
1 blanket
Baby bath and seat
All 0-3 clothes courtesy of my cousin

Think that's it...x
 
Nothing! I'm almost 24 weeks.

We only need boy things as our daughter's stuff is all still pristine.

I will get things out of storage and start laundering them when I am about 34 weeks or so.

And if I see any irresistible blue items, I will start buying. But boy clothes don't excite me at all. I think we'll save money on clothing budget with this one!
 
Absolutely nothing, poor mite! Haven't even thought about it. Of course, my youngest daughter is still a teeny thing so we have everything from her
 
Absolutely nothing.

In fact the first time me and DH went to look at baby stuff was this past weekend. We decided we will not be buying anything until after the baby shower and maybe start on a registry for the shower next month.
 
I feel better seeing as I'm not the only one who hasn't been out shopping yet. We won't find out gender until june 30th and I don't see any rush before then to get anything. I have bought some baby books though.
 
I've got furniture for the nursery, nursery interiors, 8 baby grows, 9 vests, full bottle and steriliser set, pram ordered.
I'm getting my car seat, crib, Moses basket, baby monitors, car seat, swing all bought as gifts.
Only need a breast pump and isofix base and I'm sorted.

But I need to get my spare room cleared and painted for the nursery!
 
We have odd things here and there but absolutely nothing that is going to come in handy when the baby arrives.

I've told my husband though that we are picking out a crib this weekend!
 
Cot & all nursery is done
He has clothes to last him until 18 months
Coach built pram
Big pushchair
Stroller
Baby monitors
Travel cot
Car seat
Blankets
Bottles & Sterilizer

We have literally everything, i'm so prepared its unreal, he even has some weaning stuff what my aunty bought then i won a raffle with bowls and spoons in :happydance:
 
Clothes
A few blankets
Car seat
Bouncer
Crib

I feel like I haven't gotten any of the super important stuff yet. :blush: there's still so much more to buy. Luckily, I have a lot of time left lol
 
I feel way too prepared now for 21 weeks.. Eeee..

Cot and mattress (was my cousins baby's)
Pram/pushchair combo (pre loved by friend)
Car seat (pre loved)
Moses basket (pre loved literally used a few days)
Buying the changing table TODAY
Buying Chester drawers TODAY
Ottoman for storage
Painted the nursery china blue, mint green and butter cream yellow stripes!
Handful of sleep suits and vests
Some jumpers and cardigans (autumn baby)
Other cute clothing items
My sister bought his first teddy, Disney Thumper
My cousin gave me a baby bath
Nine tommitipee bottles
Steriliser
Three tommitipee dummies
Some nappies and wipes (only a few)
Sippy cup
Baby spoons
Baby powder
Baby shampoo
Cotton buds and cotton wool
Bath sponge
Muslin cloths
Baby towel
Baby thermometer

I think that's the main things, I know I'm missing a lot off my list, I've filled the ottoman with all the small things like clothing.

I'm looking at bedding now I have the cot though!

I don't exactly have the cash to have a big shopping spree and my family have given me money or items and gifts. My moms forever buying an item or two when she's out! So I guess I'm preparing early, little and often!
I'll probably be well prepared by August and he's not due til October!
 
I have some cloth nappies that are in the UK waiting for family to bring them out, i bought a tiny vest just because it looked so cute :haha: and we have a blanket that my sister made.

Am slightly worried about buying everything in Cyprus as its so expensive and there are all of 3 shops that I know of to buy from and all are extortionate prices!
 
I've got almost everything, some things I had from my daughter but we're having a boy this time so need some other bits too, so far:
Pram
Cot
Moses basket
Baby monitor
Blankets
Glo egg
Some clothes
Sleeping bag
High chair (wont need for a while though)
Play mat
Towels
A few toys
Baby bath
Breast pump
Bottles
Steriliser
Changing bag

Think that may be it. Need a bouncy chair, baby carrier, car seat. ( my dads buying that) muslins, dummies, nappies, wipes, changing mat and a few more clothes and bedding then we're done. Also need some clothes storage for him too.

The big thing I need to do is get a bigger car! A mini with two kids is not ideal. Waiting to see if my dad wants the mini for my sister first before I go and chop it in.
 
So far, I have:
Some sleepsuits and babygrows that friends have bought us
Nearly our whole cloth diaper collection (need one or two more bits)
A swing
Bottles

and that is it so far, we are currently trying to finally decide on which pram we want and then we will be ordering that. My dad is making us a co-sleeper and we will be moving a few weeks before my due date so nursery furniture we won't be buying until he is here and we are settling into our new place most likely.
The rest of the stuff we need will probably be given to us at our baby shower.
 
I bought my other half a little babygrow that says I love daddy. That's the only thing so far though.

My mum has bought a cot quilt set and bottle sterilizer. She will also be ordering my pram and cot next week. I have a lot of home improvements to do before baby arrives then I can start buying for baby. I better get organised :)
