We had some hand me downs and my parents gave me a pram. You can always look at Market place and for clothing in opp shops too

I was given alot of items and then u was well prepared it helped alot with babies first day home

My sister-in-law gave me some items but we had to buy most of what we needed.

We found out I was pregnant 3 weeks into it and started stockpiling straight away. Majority of that was used for subsequent babies

WE got lots of hand me downs from friends and relatives which really helped! Kids grow out of things so quick whether its their bassinet or their clothes! So every little bit helped!

We didn’t shy away from hand me down furniture and clothes, we bought most other items off of gumtree. The only thing I would recommend is not getting a second hand cot my hand me down did not meet regulations and we are lucky compared to the lady in the MoM blog article who lost her baby.

We did most of the big items but we had some friends pool money together for a pram and had donations of second hand items and borrowed a few bits we wouldn’t need for long.

Naaa.. we did everything on our own 🙂

We had close family member purchase some items as a gift for us
