Minimalist baby registry must haves?

Question

We just moved to Alaska and are having our 2nd baby. I sold ALL of our baby stuff in the move so I'm starting over. I have no clue what I need to keep it super minimal and save space.

Answer

- somewhere for baby to sleep. I used a pack n play with a bassinet attachment because we can literally pack it up and take it with us wherever and whenever. 
- somewhere to put baby when you are not holding them. A bouncer, swing, baby nest, etc. whichever suits your lifestyle better. I like the nest, because i can easily take it with me and it fits easily in the car or wagon. 
-transportation method. I personally like having a stroller wagon because it is so multifunctional. AND i love having a baby carrier. Personally i would get a solly baby wrap (for when they are very little) and an ergo baby carrier (for when they are bigger). I know it doesn’t seem the most minimal but that’s the best way that I’ve found to do minimal and gentle parenting as far as baby wearing. 
-a noise machine. You can probably get away without it but i started without one and would not go back. 
- a baby monitor of some kind, unless baby is always near you then you could go without. 
- i would never go without a nose frida as well. Life saver. 
- boppy. (Could potentially use this as a baby nest i think as well…) 
- swaddles
-car seat. Duh. 
-haaka if you’re breastfeeding 
-library card so you don’t need to buy books. I love me some books though so i fall short here 😂
Everything else seems like fluff. You can either bathe with baby or bathe them in the sink with a towel, a whole tub doesn’t seem necessary. Diaper bags seem silly to me personally. I think i used one bottle for my son his whole time breastfeeding. Would not buy bottles again. Some people can get away with a stroller or wagon,. The items i listed have been the most essential for me and i would not give them up. Do i think someone else might be able to go with less? Absolutely. It all really boils down to your lifestyle. You can always start with less and get more items if you really feel like you need it. That’s so cool that you guys are doing that though! I’m jealous 🤪

Answer

-I would recommend getting some sort of floor rocker or bouncer just so you can put baby down every now and then. Or bring it in the bathroom with you if you need to shower and baby is awake. 
-A changing pad is nice just so you aren’t always hunched over on the floor.. you can plop it on the counter or bed then slide it behind or underneath something when not in use.
-A mini crib is a great option if you want to save space. I just saw an ad for a mini crib that is adjustable into full size crib and then regular bed. I forget the name but it looked pretty nice and wasn’t that expensive (I think like $600). 
-A tiered cart as a changing/feeding station.
Everything else is really secondary. Contrary to popular belief, babies don’t need a lot lol.

Answer

A wrap instead of a stroller. 
Id prabably not buy swings and bouncers and playmats.
Maybe a bloom bath flower for bathing in sinm rather than a whole baby tub.
Mini crib (mini crib sheets)
