The expo was held at the Olympic Stadium in Homebush. With free tickets, and lots of discounts on offer, we had a good day! It wasn't just shopping, there were also interesting demos and displays.
We decided to only buy things that were cheaper than retail, and did quite well...

We hadn't heard of these before - but there were lots of people at the stand grabbing for the last sizes, so we thought we'd better join in!
The idea is to wrap baby up so s/he's nice and warm when out and about. Apparently they like being cacooned (reminds them of the womb).
This one is made from Polar Fleece - for winter.

This one's 100% cotton, and a smaller size - in non-gender-specific yellow.
Because we spent over $60 on Snug as a Bug, we got a free T-shirt and yellow jumpsuit.

This was our "purchase of the day"- it should have us all set for feeding!
Effectively we only paid for the Pump, Steriliser and Bottle Warmer, the rest were "bonus items" (10+ bottles, lotions, baby cup, pacifiers etc)
The woman at the Hospital stand said the Bepanthen stand was great value - so we high-tailed it over there to buy some, and enter the draw to win some more. We had no idea what it was - of course...
Now we know it's lotion to prevent nappy rash.
A good little starter pack for wiping, washing, powdering and moisturising the bub.
And, it came with a bonus rubber ducky!
These actually weren't at the Expo - they were at the super-enormous Ikea, nearby. Good value, and you can never have too many.
It's not a good Expo unless there's free stuff. These are all the freebies we collected.
