Hey OP, the new aligns aren’t that good quality anymore. They pill and warp much quicker than older versions.
These crzyoga butterluxe ones on Amazon are a pretty good dupe for the $
Agonised over this question recently!
Bought a no-name brand on Amazon fairly cheaply (well, for a baby monitor anyway) and it’s great. Screen is big and clear and no wifi connection, which is what we wanted.

Taking Charge of Your Fertility
Seriously so good for understanding everything going on in order to either avoid pregnancy or to conceive! Busts myths, illustrated explanations, and most of all - incredibly empowering for women. She’s a huge advocate for women’s health in general but especially surrounding the fact that we aren’t taught jack shit about our bodies like we should be (especially implications surrounding hormonal birth control).
We’re borrowing this from friends who have used it for their 2 kids. It transitions as they grow bigger. I have a shower, a bath and a laundry tub but I didn’t want to fill up a bath just for Bub and the laundry tub is tricky to access.
I got these mesh bags off Amazon and they are perfect with my Arch nappy bag. One for nappies/wipes, one for change of clothes, one for toys, one for sunscreen, sunhat, swim nappy etc.
This is the touch dimmable nightlight that I use, it turns back on at the setting you last had it on. Not app controlled though, sorry! portable dimmable night light
I'm sorry, I don't know how to shorten links on mobile, but I like this one. It was cheap, USB C rechargeable, has a charging dock, is dimmable, portable, warm light, optional timer and optional colours. Also the base dock has an optional light too, in two brightnesses. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B09J9489PK/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_i_SJJ4YZ0KMS2XTSXG9K6T?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
This is the one I got. Cheap, soft, light weight and portable.
I didn’t buy it just for feeding, but more for general use, and it is safe to put in her cot.
We still track wets and dirties- it helps because it's hard to remember sometimes when baby last pooped! We don't measure the size at all though, just that it was a nappy change (helps figure out how long ago the last change was too)
I time feeds still but don't really need to.
We use baby tracker - there are a couple with this name. - we like this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nighp.babytracker_android
I didn't record sleep until a bit later when it made a bit more sense to- helps keep track of wake windows.
We had this one which worked great until we couldn’t charge the monitor anymore (the monitor fell on the ground, and the charging pin because dislodged). Good night vision, you can easily pan around the room, and you could mute it if needed.
We currently have the Oricom CU850 and I hate it. The monitor won’t stay on if there’s no noise in the room, the panning and night vision suck, and there’s no way to change the volume on the monitor. Definitely a regret but.
We have the HelloBaby monitor. Got it on Amazon for $80 during the black Friday sales. Really like it and would definitely recommend.
Hi there! The mattress is definitely a different size/shape - you wouldn't be able to substitute a generic one. Toys R Us (before they went bust) used to sell all the accessories - from a quick we search, it doesn't look like Baby Bunting does. Amazon have it available shipped from the US (https://www.amazon.com.au/Bassinest-Swivel-Sleeper-Replacement-Mattress/dp/B01BLN5VKI/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=halo+bassinest&qid=1609589846&sprefix=halo+bass&sr=8-4), otherwise you could try some local independent baby shops.
I'm pretty sure it has a mattress protector on by default - you may be able to get away with reusing the mattress.
I got the Hap Tim. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B01MCWVQN1/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_Wf7QFbV3X38GH
Backpack style. Lots of storage. The section where you can keep bottles have been handy for me to take solids with me. Also, it's gender neutral so my husband can wear it. You can also clip it to your pram. I have 2 other nappy bags that were given to me and I haven't touched them in ages.
Not officially maternity leggings, but I bought these on Amazon and they're very comfortable and have a very wide stretchy waistband.

However I got the 6 pack for $30-something, not the $50 that this link currently says though.
