Newborn necessities? Please help

Question

So I live pretty far away from all of my family. I'm buying all baby things on my own (which I dont mind at all), but i just don't know where to start. I have the obvious diapers,wipes, clothes, and a swing. I just am lost on what else to buy for my daughter. This is my first child, so I dont know what I'll need and what isn't even necessary. Some advice would be great! I'm due in August by the way 💜

Answer

Here is my list as a third time mum 
The only thing I forgot to put on there was a boppy

Answer

Butt paste, fingernail clippers, baby wash. You'll need a little bath or a safe way to bathe the baby. A couple burp clothes and a safe sleep and you're set. You don't need to get a ton of stuff. It's really not necessary. Are you doing formula or will you be breastfeeding? Pumping? Maybe a couple bottles. Don't need a ton of those either.  I have accumulated so much stuff i filled an entire closet (used clothes, toys, bouncers)  I'm in the middle of purging 95 percent of it.

Answer

Do you have a bassinet? You definitely need something like that. Otherwise you don’t need much. A few face cloths, hooded towel and gentle soap for baths. Coconut oil is great for dry skin and can be slathered all over baby. You may want a soft bristled baby hair brush - helps get leftover blood/gunk/dry skin off baby’s head. 
Best clothes early on are footies with zippers - buttons are the worst. Lol. 
A couple little blankets for swaddling and whatnot. 
I ended up needing to pump to increase my milk supply and as such was using bottles. Getting a bottle warmer and steam sterilizer has been amazing but we didn’t get those until after baby was born and saw we had a use. (Same goes for my breast pump. I rented from the hospital first, figured out what was needed and then purchased when she was 2 weeks)

Answer

Baby needs a flat space to sleep. Either bassinet, pack n play, or crib. Bibs and burp cloths and bottles. Are you going to BF or formula?

Answer

Bassinet or crib 
Bibs
Clothes 
Socks 
Diapers ( Looots ) lol 
Wipes 
Bottles 
Towels 
Blankets
Pacifiers
Rash cream or paste 
Lotions
Shampoo or soap 
Nipple shields if you have inverted nipples or falt nipples or your baby doesn't latch. It's a huge help!
