Here is a list of things that you will
need at least to start.
furniture
crib
mattress
dresser(s)
bassinet and pad(mattress)
some people will say that you need a
changing table but I don't really think
it's necessary. I have one that i've
used a total of three times. I usually
change the baby on the couch, bed or
floor. I do recommend a couple changing
pads (they sell them for a dollar in
walmart).
feeding
bibs
pacifier (about 5 or 6 because they
disappear)
bottle brushes
bottle warmer
bottles
nipples (get a lot they wear out or
disappear in the sink  )
bottle caps
if breastfeeding then get a good pump and
nursing pads. I also recommend storage
containers for freezing or refrigerating
your milk.
bathing
baby bath tup
hooded bath towels (4 or 5)
wash cloths (i recommend getting a lot of
these)
nail scissors
nail clippers
brush & comb
bath soap (mild)
lotion
baby oil
vaseline
clothing
& changing supplies
diapers
onesies (get a lot then you don't have to
do laundry as often)
one pieces outfits
sleepers
interchangeable separates
socks
crib shoes
receiving blankets (we still use these)
side snap undershirts
miscellaneous
stroller
toys
bouncer seat (this saved my life!)
photo album
thermometer
aspirator
crib sheets (at least 4 sets)
bumper pad
ummm... That's all I can think of right
now....

i thought about doing that, then I decided
it was easier to type a list than to look
it up! Thanks, jess! Muah!

i recomend getting the baggies to store
breast milk in because you can store a lot
of them in a freezer and they are cheaper
to buy and easier to defrost then the cup
like containers. I would pump and then
pour it into a baggie.

I cant beleive you forgot the one most
important thing...Car seat (unless I just
skipped over it)
its common sence but a lot of people seem
to forget it until last minute
also id recommend a baby carrier (like
those hip carriers or a sling carrier,
keeps the baby close and lets you use your
hands)

I didn't even read the second part of the
post. I have one of those carrier
thingies and I don't really use it. We
used it a little at first but it made my
back hurt. He was a big baby to carry
around. Honestly dh used it more than I
did.

i hate them too. I have a bjorn and i've
used it once, 15 minutes after putting it
on I was all slouched over trying to
relieve my back. I have a bad back anyway
but it can't be good hanging a 12 pound
baby off your shoulders.

Hmm, well ive never actualy used the sling
kind, but my mum got me one for later
ive used the hip and back carriers though,
when I was babysitting, they were a
godsend for me, I have a worse time
carrying a kid then lugging a kid I guess,
if that makes sence
i need to be able to use my arms for
stuff, plus ive always liked the back ones
for toddlers, I have a balance problem and
having something on my back tends to help

i hate to bjorn ones.....It was really
funny I was trying to wash two weeks worth
of dishes and amelia wouldn't be good for
me....She wanted me to hold her....So
after 20 mins of trying to figure the
thing out I finally got it done and put
her on my back and finished my dishes but
by the time I figured out how to get her
out of it and take the thing off of me my
back was hurting so badly. Lol

You have a bjorn that goes on your back?
I've only ever seen the front carrier
types.
On the subject of the bjorn, what is so
special about them that makes them over
$100? That's just ridiculous!

We got a baby sling as a present, and one
of those backpack thingies just after she
was born. Alyvia hates both. She screams
her little head off.
