I hope I'm not repeating any of the previous tips but on ds2 I did a couple of things differently that made my life a bit easier.

I exclusively bottle fed so bought 10 bottles so I always had 6 bottles ready to go into the steriliser. I also wash them in the dishwasher in a really handy tray made by OXO in tony kealys. Another tip don't bother buying the small bottles as they move up to 5 oz in no time so they're a waste of money.

Have somewhere comfortable to change the baby downstairs so you're not hunching over, I was killed with my back and have all your supplies close so you don't have to run up and down the stairs. I also kept a basket beside the bed with nappies etc so I didnt have to go into the nursery in the middle of the night while baby was in our room.

And definitely take everything everyone says with a pinch of salt. With ds1 id get upset with interfering sil always passing remarks but just laugh it off now. You know your baby best :)

Good luck!!
