what are a list of things you are going to need for your baby that you've bought, recieved as a gift, or haven't gotten yet? How much has it all cost?
Answer
Oh this is going to take ages to answer.... think of it as a human being stepping off a spaceship from God onto earth for the first time. what will he need? EVERYTHING.
first off, decide if you're going to breastfeed or bottle feed. this is your first concern. if B/f, then you need to educate yourself on eating the right foods, breastfeeding articles on how to teach baby to latch on correctly, and you have to buy breast pads, nipple cream and nursing bras. but thats pretty much it, so you'll save tons on money.
if Bottle-feeding you need BPA free bottles, sterlising equipment and the right formula for your child. youll want also accessories to buy and keep in case you go out with yoru child, so a bottle warmer would help if you're on the go. this can get expensive since a can of formula feeds my child about four days tops. plus time consuming, you're always sterilising bottles! buy and keep sterilising brush and teat brush, sterlising liquid too.
Next - clothes. get a lot of onesies, they're the best since she/he wil have several changes in a day and these are easy to take on and off. What temp is the country you live in right now? its pretty much summer everywhere except australia! so buy accordingly. temp is VERY imp when a child sleeps so dont over-dress or keep them too cool. buy blankets, thermal blankets, receiving blankets are REALLY imp. bibs, burp cloths, towels, fleece blankets, socks, caps, scratch mitts. clothes like onesies, pyjamas, pants, dresses and what have you can be bought in three stages ahead - newborn, 0-3, 3-6 so that you dont have to rush yourself shopping later. or you could wait to find out what size your child is and what colours suit him/her. this too is as expensive as the parents want to get. better to buy once for the baby you're having now, and then keep his/her clothes for the NEXT child if you're plannign more than one. that saves on money - in the long run at least!
You will need bath equipment - i already mentioned towels. get a baby bath range in a mild brand, johnsons is universal i think. massage oil is good if you're planning to give massages. nail clippers, hair and comb set, toothbrush, sponge.
Diapers or nappies? one is expensive and the ohter is eco-friendly and easy on the pocket but cleaning poo nappies can be a yucky job. if you're going with diapers get the right size in bulk it will save cash. also get diaper rash cream, wipes, lotion, nappy liner or diaper genie.
travel system if you're going to go out with baby you will need an infant car seat, stroller/pram. some mothers get carriers or mei tai's that they can hold the baby close to them. the first is expensive but the carriers are cheap, maclaren has gorgeous carriers but they're only good for upto 10-12 kgs.
at home equipment - swing, bouncer, bassinet, playgym, crib, changing station, dresser, storage area like closet. all of these depend on how deep your pocket is. if you're getting a nursery done it will take lots of cash to do up to the nines. if baby is sleeping in your room in the beginning then you will need a bassinet. some ppl co-sleep with their babies. READ UP on this before you do it. while you're at it, read up on sids too.
i hope this helps. writing it tired me out, i cant imagine how you must feel but good luck. its all worth it when you see your child using the things you lovingly bought and kept ready. :)

What is australia's Culture consist of?
Strawberry
I have a cultural project about australians & their cultural behavior, I would like to ask all australians out there for help. What is Australia's culture consist of ? how is it different ? & what makes it different from any other culture ?
Answer
Our Australian culture is very unique and is unlike any other culture in the world. We live in a country which is the same size of the USA with a very small sparse population of only 22 million people.
Our Australian culture is built on mateship, laricanism, fair dinkumness, broadmindedness, common sense, education and protecting our culture traditions, values, customs, laws and being a caretaker of our country. Over 90% of the whole Australian population is non religious.
Every citizen in Australia including Australian children all have the same equal human rights and freedoms without discrimination.
Mateship is a very strong within our culture, we all help and look out for each other and our foreign neighbours.
Our Australian laricanism is very well known through out the world we all have a great sense of humor and can laugh at ourselves and with the people around us.
Many foreign people who come to Australia who don't fully understand our culture all find our Aussie fair dinkumness. As being totally brutal, very vulgar, offencive and think we are all racist. Being we all refuse to have our unique culture and Strine (Australian slang language) white anted away by foreign political correctness.
Public nudity is totally accepted within our Australian culture. Australian women all go topless to public beaches, pools, spas,nobody cares or stares as we all grew up with nudity being acceptable we even see it on television. Their isn't any digital covering or bleeps covering words ever on Australian television.
Business and industry runs 24/7 in Australia, you can go shopping, go to a bar, club, gym, cafe, restaurant, etc, etc anytime you want. In Australia at 18 you can legally drink and work in casinos, clubs, bars, or in the travel or the sex industries. Prostitution is totally legal in Australia so are many other things, the list is very long.
This is why their is very low crime in Australia and all the streets are safe to walk down. All Australian cities are very unique and there are no other cities in the world like them. Since English is our national language, you never see any foreign written signs on buildings or on menus.
The Australian economy is very strong and we all enjoy a very high standard of living. Wages paid in Australia are three times more than the wages paid in the USA. It's very un Australian to ever openly discuss our personal wealth or financial net worth. Most all of us working Australians are on very high five to seven figure annual incomes.
After Japan, Australia is the most hardest country in the world to ever obtain migration for permanent residency. Due to our high educational and skilled work standards. Most all Australians have more BA and MA degrees than in any other country in the world.
Being we are all taught the highest standard of education in the world. Education and apprentice skills training plays a very big part within our culture. We all are also taught fully about Aboriginal culture and all foreign cultures at school.
The weather in Australia is always too good to stay indoors so we all spend a lot of time outdoors. Most of us are all actively involved in a team sport and also go swimming and surfing everyday. This is why most of us are all dark tanned skinned and very healthy looking. In Australia you are taught to swim when your six months old. Australian children spend a lot of time outdoors, rather than sitting around watching TV.
We have a free universal health care system in Australia so we do have longer lifespans. None of our war veterans live on the street, neither do mentally challenged persons. Also their are no people living in trailers, ghetto's or in tent cities or beggars on our streets. Our government houses these people, or you if you have no where to live.
We also get $8,000 baby bonus paid to us if we choose to have children. First home and business buyers grants etc, etc. Most all of us live in defacto relationships rather than marry. From the 1st of July 2009, all defacto relationships straight or gay hold the same legalities of marriage after two years.
I hope these thing's can help you with your project, maybe one day you should come to Australia.
