[quote=DSSM]We also got most things second hand - we shopped consignment sales and started collecting baby gear in the 2nd trimester. Clothes, blankets, crib sheets, baby tub, towels, noise machine, swing, nursing pillows, baby carrier - these are all great to get second hand and the cloth parts definitely can go through the wash on the sanitize setting. I think getting frozen meals is a great idea - once your freezer stocks up, then ask for people who offer to commit to doing a round of dishes for you in the first month, or something like that. People love buying cute baby outfits so if you say no gifts/no shower, you will probably get a lot of these, so I actually recommend getting a really minimal stash of onesies for the first 3 months and maybe 1 cute outfits for photos. We had enough cloths to dress twins even though we only bought half a dozen newborn outfits and we didn't register for any baby cloths. [/quote]
