Help with feeding purchases.?

Dont waste your money on a feeding pillow. I struggled for a month feeding my daughter on my lap until I just thought I would try an ordinary bed pillow to lay her on, it was so easy and works well, super comfy for the LO too...my daughter loves it. I have been using that since she was a month and she is now 9.5 months old. We had about 4 bottles and we bought more, but one pack is still un opened, so long as they are kept clean and sterilised 4 should be fine as your going to be the primary feeder. You dont need muslin squares at all...any cloth or small towel will do, but if you feel you have to have them then about 6 maybe, just so you have some on the go when some are being washed. jug of water is a fine idea, bottle warmers are okay but a needless expense. So long as the water in the jug isnt super boiling and you dont forget its in there its fine. Tommee tippee is what we got...closer to nature bottles and the manual hand pump, however i dont use the pump (it is good though) just because i cant express enough. So basically I just told you to buy nothing...lol...wait until the baby comes, you will see then what you really need and what you dont need. rather than spending the money and never using them. I bought a battery operated pump too...OUCH! it hurt like hell and made my twice their original size. Crazy. Needless to say I dont use it. The smaller bottles will be good for a few months as fed babies dont eat as much as Bottlefed babies so the amount you pump wont be as much as it says to give on a formula carton. i think the little ones are 5 ounces and my daughter rarely ate that much from the bottle. Good luck...ive rambled on, but im experiencing a rare few moments to myself...baby is out with daddy! ssshhh...i hear them coming back!
