About

G'day. I'm a soon-to-be dad in Australia, and we're having a girl. I have no idea what I'm doing.

When we found out, I did what every bloke does: I went to a baby shop, got overwhelmed by a wall of 40 different bottles, and left with nothing but a headache. So I started writing down what we actually need, checking real Australian prices, and asking people who've done it before.

That list turned into this site. It's not expert advice. It's one clueless, honest dad working it out in public, with the jokes left in and the fluff left out.

What you'll find here

• The five must-haves. The stuff that matters before she arrives, with real prices and my honest take.
• A weekly "this week in the life" post. Dated, honest, and about what actually happened that week, picks included.
• No lectures. I joke about me. I don't joke about car-seat fitting or safe sleep. For those, I point you to the people who actually know: the ACCC, Kidsafe and Red Nose.

How the site makes money

Some product links may become affiliate links. If you buy through one, I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. There may also be one clearly marked sponsor spot. Neither of those changes what goes on the list. If I wouldn't tell my mate to buy it, it isn't here.

Prices on this site were checked on 13 November 2026, mostly at Baby Bunting. Prices change, so always check the retailer before you buy.
