Gifts for Lleyton

Daddy & Mummy will like to thank all well-wishers for their congratulations on Lleyton's birth, and will also like to extend their warmest gratitude towards their generous friends who have lavished Lleyton with wonderful gifts and presents.

Thank you all so much!

After many bouts of shopping over the past months, Daddy & Mummy have amassed a significant stockpile of the essential items for Lleyton, and had made plan to get a few more along the way. However, some unforeseen circumstances resulted in changes to both the corporate gifts by Daddy's and Mummy's office. After a mini stock-take, Daddy has realised that Lleyton will do well with the following items:

1. Moms-In-Mind Baby Sling (sateen or silk is preferred for comfort) (taken too!)
-Ideally, it should be usable from now till when Lleyton is about 18months or so, and should be able to hold Lleyton in a few positions.

2. Baby Monitor (taken on 21st Oct - thanks Alex & Hester!)
-Having second thoughts on whether it is required, as Mummy can readily spot Lleyton's cries from the adjacent room. (Last night, Lleyton slept alone in his room, as he could not fall asleep in Daddy & Mummy's)

3. Hanging Mobiles & Toys
-I guess Lleyton will want more of this, but Daddy feels that a couple hanging mobiles which can entertain Lleyton when he is lying in his cot will do no harm. The ones with music and lots of colours are preferred.

4. Outdoor Bag to carry Lleyton's belongings
-Daddy & Mummy will require more bags to house Lleyton's belongings, such as milk/water bottles, spare change of clothes, diapers, changing mat etc.

5. My Brest Friend (ie. a large pillow which Mummy can use for feeding Lleyton)
-We have tried this at the hospital, and found it rather useful. Little Lleyton can lie on top of the cushion and be easily within reach of Mummy during feeding.

6. The First Years Close & Secure Sleeper
-An alternative way to allow Lleyton to sleep with Daddy & Mummy if he doesn't want to sleep alone in his own cot.


Are there anything else that a 3-day old baby will need?
