Question

So I want to make sure I have the essentials for my baby. This is what we have so far. Please feel free to suggest anything else we might be missing (Ps. We're in the process of buying a house so I'm just sticking to what I think I Need and have been given in my baby shower till our move in November. I'm due Dec 20th and I'm a first time mom):

Car Seat: Chicco NextFit 30 Zip
Bassinet
4moms Tub
4moms Rockaroo glider 
High chair: Graco 4-1
K'tan baby carrier & boba baby wrap
Diaper bag
I intend on breast feeding but I have plenty of bottles such as Avant, playtex, born free breeze glass bottles, etc 
Pacifiers
Fisher price deluxe gym for tummy time
Boppy
Blooming bath "bath tub"
Graco pack n play
We're covered on clothes and diapers.

I do need some swaddlers blankets and a stroller. Will be buying the Mima Xari in chocolate. Expensive but so beautiful.

PS. I would also appreciate your review on any of the items above. Thank you in advance.

I also have my tests pumps. A medela and a spectra My insurance is going to send me

Answer

I don't think I saw a humidifier on your list. And that reminds me I need to order a new filter for mine

Answer

Aquaphor for baby's bum, I apply it every time and he is diaper rash free. 
Make sure you have one of those things to suck his boogers out, usually comes in a kit with thermometer and brush etc. 
Mittens. 
Beanies. 
Nalonin for your nips, breastfeeding can hurt. 
Storage containers for your breast milk. 
Car seat cover and nursing cover.

Answer

I recommend halo swaddles. Not anything supper gorgeous but easy to wrap the baby you at night during changes. 
For swaddle blankets my favorite are the Tula swaddle blankets. They're so much softer than any other brand that I've found.

I would also get a good supply of butt past, bath products and any medicine your pediatrician recommends in case of sickness. I'm also due in December and the last thing I want to do is make a run in the middle of night for motion or etc.

Answer

Some Vaseline would be handy. 
Something to put those stinky baby diapers in.

Don't forget about the things you will need for yourself!

Answer

NoseFrida and saline mist!  An unexpected item that I use frequently.  It's seriously a lifesaver. Those other nasal aspirators didn't work for me at all.

Answer

Diaper pail (recommend Munckin tall step)
Changing pad
Covers for the changing pad
Sheets for the pack & play if they'll be sleeping on it 
The waterproof Pads for under the sheets
Gripe water (recommend Mommy's Bliss)
Diaper rash cream ( recommend buttpaste, burts bees, or organic coconut oil)
Burp cloths

Answer

Other than diapers and wipes, you sound pretty set! It wouldn't be a bad idea to get a thermometer and some diaper rash cream either. :)

Answer

Swing if you want to get anything done, my babe is 2 months and the swing still saves the day! 😊

Answer

It sounds like you're pretty much all set! I'd just have a lot of extra receiving blankets on hand (I go through so many each day with my son). Also, someone bought me the Little Remedies New Parents Survival Kit, and it has come in handy more than anything! It has gas drops, gripe water, Tylenol, saline drops & the dispensers for the medicine. Plus it all comes with a cute carry case. It's always good to have that stuff on hand when baby arrives because you just never know. I've used it countless times in the 5 months since my son has arrived.
