~ Clothes: five side-snap T-shirts, five one-piece bodysuits, five sleepers or sleep sacks, three pairs of socks, and a couple of hats.

Great blog, Viv! Looking forward to more updates :)

You have a very organised shopping list. Think about adding Yu Ee oil and Gripe Water (good to use a little every day to prevent wind), also cloth diapers (useful as burp cloth, wiping baby, etc.).

How about a baby monitor?

Have fun shopping!!

Hi Jo Ann,

Thanks for visiting and thanks for your suggestions :)

I had to google Yu Ee Oil (can you believe that I've never heard of it!). Is it used to prevent colic?

Yeah..Gripe water...forgot about that. My mum used to store a bottle in the fridge for my sister, but my brother and I used to steal swigs from the bottle! i don't mind buying it for myself!

As for baby monitor, we've looked at a few. There are a few Digital Video Baby Monitor with Color LCD Screen out there. I do not know what make is reliable. Is the video monitor necessary? Or should I just stick to the conventional audio monitor? What do you have for Lucas?

Cloth diapers I feel is a good idea too. A friend of mine uses them for her baby and just like you, she uses them as a burp cloth, light blanket, wiping baby etc. I've seen a few sold that are colourful with pretty designs. Maybe another trip to the store is due...
