the big things

The first thing you should buy is a CAR SEAT

cradle

As for a bassinet, it’s up to you, remember that the baby will not use it for a long time.

I would suggest a good pack n play over a bassinet, they often come with an attachable bassinet and changing tables.

An ideal swing to calm the baby when you have been doing it for hours.

Also a bouncy seat is wonderful.

Our list of needs

Bottle Warmers Hot tap water running over a bottle works just as well.

Bottles that are easy to hold, the ones with the hole in the center are impossible to clean!!!!

A changing table… The changing table is amazing! He used one all the time to change wherever he was. Much more convenient.

Lots of those cute little outfits. Buy a few that you like for special events and photos. Babies grow fast, these settings may only fit them for a month.

There are many more needs and non-needs. It is something personal for each of us. This is only a general guide.
