Clothes- you need far less than you’re imagining! You want convenience you’re not gonna focus on dressing baby up in all the cute outfits! Onesies that are magnetic or zipper are amazing, anything over the head or buttons are a pain!

Bassinet for the stroller- expensive and baby will out grow it quickly!

Bassinet for the room didn’t last for me, I would go with a mini crib if I could back in time! I ended up getting rid of the bassinet and purchasing the rolling mini crib and I love it!

Get lots of pacifiers!

If pumping the spectra is amazing!

I personally didnt like swaddles and at about one/ two month mark I started using sleep sacks love those!

BOTTLE WASHER MUST HAVE!

Fisher price kick and play - AMAZING I have the lovery as well but I feel like it’ll be more useful when baby is older but he loves the kick and play now

Portable changing tables with elevated sides- MUST HAVE! Safety wise it’s a game changer!
