Not necess right now but you'll need a crib/next to me/ other place for them to sleep

Somewhere to sleep, something to wear, wash stuff, comfy chair with arms, pillow, car seat, slip on shoes.

Probably missing something out but that's all i can remember

I’m pregnant and FTM as well, coming up to 39 weeks so I’ll share of what what I’ve got. Apart from what you’ve mentioned -
Bedside crib to start with, cot, changing table
Lots of muslins
If your baby is going to come in the winter months get a pramsuit - I totally didn’t think and only bought one about 2 days ago.
Baby carrier - I got a baby bjorn one
Changing bag
Changing mat for home
Size 1 nappies and I was given a pack of wise 0 but I don’t think I’ll need them
Baby bath and thermometer
gro egg thermometer for room temp
Blankets, bedding - extra sheets for bedside crib etc
Then a couple of bits I just wanted like some board books to read to baby but obviously that’s not essential.

That’s it really there’s things that I would like to have but haven’t bought yet like a play mat and a bouncer, I didn’t have a baby shower and family/friends have been asking what’s so some of the things that are non essential that haven’t been bought I can say to them.

I’m pregnant with my 3rd and I have: Moses basket for downstairs and cot for upstairs. Changing table/drawers with changing mat and Tallboy wardrobe. Angle care bath seat, top and tail bowl, baby shampoo, baby bath and baby lotion plus packets of newborn nappies, wipes, cotton wool, Tommee tippee set of hair comb, nail clippers, thermometer and gro egg as our bedrooms often vary in temperature. Got pram bundle with pushchair that’s forward and parent facing, carry cot, changing bag, footmuff, car seat and car seat base. Got a bouncy chair and a play mat with arch over that had some little toys attached. I plan to breastfeed but have a steraliser with bottles and perfect prep machine but we got those cheap from a family member who had baby last year.
