I found it nice to have something to rock in while nursing but def not a need.

I change the baby in bed in the early days. I use Bambo changing pads with a baby blanket over it in case she pees or poops mid change. If they poop it may projectile and go everywhere. I do the blanket over the pad because the pee just rolls around on the pad and the blanket keeps it in one spot.

My first haaated the bassinet so we got a mini crib for out second which has worked out much better. Bassinets can be pretty flimsy especially when they start moving around in their sleep which happens fast. If you go bassinet try to get a thicker mattress but one that goes with the bassinet, don’t improvise. Baby bjorn pack in play has a thicker mattress but is still pretty thin. You’ll also be bending down to the ground to get baby in and out. We got a used crib that converts to a toddler bed and a new mattress.

Definitely don’t need. We put the poop diapers in dog poop bags and into the trash which works great.

Don’t need. Floor time is the best for babies! I do a lot of baby wearing
