What do I need?

Question

I'm a first time mom and at my baby shower I didn't get a lot of bigger things. What all am I going to need. I got a crib, dresser, changing table, but nothing else but clothes.

Answer

Baby doesn't need a whole lot... just a place sleep and stuff to eat and be changed. That's really it lol.

It's mama that will need a few extra things (if you breastfeed)

Bare bones, I would say: 
- a crib, pack'n'play or a rock n play
- diapers
- wipes
- butt cream
- bottles (I didn't use them til month 3 though)
- burp cloths 
For the breast fed baby
- a boppy or some kind of breastfeeding pillow. 
- nipple cream
- breast pads
- pump

And that's really all I can think of...

Answer

Some things you don't have to worry about getting till the baby is older and mobile. I say around 6 months or so. If you find a great deal then Ok but otherwise it will just take up room not getting any use.

Answer

You don't *need* anything else but I'd get a booster high chair seat (actual high chairs are a total waste of space- as are baby bath tubs, big sponges or bath flowers work great as do laundry baskets) a swing or bouncer, baby gates if you have stairs or areas that'll need blocked...

I have a giant bookshelf because my baby already has lots of books, and I am also getting a cubicle deal with those fabric boxes that slide in for more organized storage. I also have a floor lamp, recliner, a ladder for blanket storage, some baskets to do diaper stations around the house, etc. Baby will have lots of little things so the more organized, the better. (For me anyways) 
Hope those ideas helped!
