Advice on newborn essentials

[Alex8899]

I’m really stuck on what to buy as a FTP and reading lots of reviews and articles is making me more confused.
What does a newborn need in terms of the following?
-bedside crib for the first 6 months or straight to a cot? Snuzpod and Chicago next2me sound appealing - are they worth it?
-travel system 3 in 1 up to £450 with isofix base. I like the idea of the Joie Litetrak. Could the bassinet included double up as a Moses basket, or should I buy a separate Moses basket?
-baby swing: I like the joie seraphina, any other suggestions welcome
-are sleepyheads worth it?
Thank you!

@Nell80 one of the things I’ve been worried about is a possible c section and getting out of bed with the next 2 me crib. Thank you!

If you are worried about struggling to get out of bed but want a bedside crib, this is the one I have been looking at as it pivots. Just might mean you need to be careful what is on your nightstand https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08VDTD2LN?colid=2DQWES3LS7L2B&coliid=IPGDD1XT56IG8&ref=br_ADD_TO_CART_title_link

I used a sling loads in the first few months - mine is a Close Caboo Lite & DS loved to snooze in it. I've kept it for future DC.

I also had a c-shaped feeding pillow - I bought one which was way too soft & squishy, but a friend gave me a firmer one from IKEA which was fab. Again, I've kept this as would definitely use next time.

Thank you @VeeAye and @AwkwardPaws27 xx
