My baby is now 3 months. Before birth, we made a shopping list and validated everything that could be found used. In fact, the only investment was in the bed is a wooden model, made in Quebec that can turn into bed when she be older. For the rest, especially for clothes we had made the rounds of thrift stores. However, first observation of a baby 4.5 lbs fleet squarely in the linen thrift stores. So management, Babies R Us for clothes for premature, except that in this case, we must not exaggerate the amount of item, clothing quickly becoming too small. Also all our clothes are given to works for reuse when no longer.
For cloth diapers, the ones we bought were too big. We had already planned to use disposable diapers during the first weeks instead of diapers washable for newborns, but finally we use for 1 month a package of 6 cloth diapers for premature baby diapers and cloth diapers when all were just washed. But now as the layers of premature became too small, we use disposable diapers for our daughter's thighs are not yet large enough to prevent damage to the cloth diapers that we had originally purchased. No doubt that in the coming weeks, we integrate the routine of washing layer to avoid putting on the street two garbage bags a week!
If you are expecting a child and want to know the budget you need to plan for your first year, I found a link on English site which allows you to calculate your expenses. This could be useful to compare costs between two options such as cloth diapers or disposable diapers, use washable or disposable wipes, etc..
