Don't spend TONS of money on these first little out fits baby will grow really fast and many clothes they may not even get to wear!!!
Onsies about 6-8
Sleep and plays 5
3 cute out fits
Snow suit if winter
Socks about 4 pair
Blanket sleepers for cool nights about 2
Hat for winter or summer
2 Blanket sleepers for cool nights
A sweater
6-7 receiving blankets
Other stuff
2 pack packages small diapers
Wipes
Baby lotion
Alcohol
Cotton balls
Baby nail clippers
Gentle baby soap
The big stuff
The VERY first thing you must buy is a CAR SEAT
Crib
As far a bassinet it is up to you remember baby will not use this very long.
I would suggest a good pack n play over a bassinet they often come with attachable bassinet and changing tables.
A swing great for soothing baby when you have been doing it for hours.
Also a bouncy seat is wonderful
Our list of don't needs
Bottle warmers hot tap water run over a bottle works just as well.
Easy to hold bottles the ones with the hole in the center there are impossible to clean!!!!
A changing table?I changing mat is awesome ! used one all the time to change where ever I happened to be. Far more convenient.
Many of those tiny cute outfits. Buy a few you love for special events and pictures. Babies grow fast these out fits may only fit for a month.
There are many more needs and don't needs. It is a personal thing for each of us. This is just a general guide.
