My first baby rode around in a beautiful Silver Cross coach built pram, second hand from a friend, but like new, it had never been outside! The cot was my auntie`s cast off after her 3rd baby, the carry cot and stand (on their last legs!) were given to me, Nappies were bought from a local cotton mill, 19 shillings a dozen, we bought some clothes, some were bought for us, my mother knitted a fair few things, as did a workmate. The baby bath was given to us by a neighbour, one of those heavy papier mache ones, we still had it years later, it got used for all sorts. We bought a new pram for baby number 4, a Pedigree one, vinyl coated, a good size but not as big as the Silver Cross, bought from a local store`s baby department, it did for baby 5 as well.
Our first pushchair was a Cumfifolda with hood and apron, something quite new then, when baby 2 came along 13 months after the first, we bought the twin version of the Cumfifolda.
I was expecting my third before we had a washing machine, till then I went to the launderette with half the washing and hand washed the rest.
