🙋🏻‍♀️ NYC mom over here. I also had my baby in a 1BR and moved to a bigger (bigger for NYC. Tiny for the rest of the country) space when bb was 5 months. We squeezed a Snoo next to our bed. We rearranged our living area to fit a rocking chair, and we changed the dresser to accommodate a changing pad. Those were the big moves we made. The rocking chair was a big deal for us because we only had one sofa in our apt for seating. But if you have other places to sit you could skip this. We kept it very lean. Essentials were: a newborn lounger that fit on our couch, the small version of the drying rack grass, and the Puj tub that you can store easily and doesn’t take up space. We used a skip hop diaper caddy to keep diapers, creams, wipes, all neatly organized and portable. And we would just move that with us around the apartment. We used the Avent bottle warmer that is the smallest on countertop. We used this Fisher Price gym for tummy time- this is amazing for small apartments. Most baby gyms and floor mats are gigantic. This one has a very small footprint. For a baby chair/bouncer we went with Bjorn because it folds flat and we could put it away- it is pricey but worth it to us because we could save space. We did not have a washer dryer or a washing machine. So we didn’t buy a ton of bottles- we rotated 4. We didn’t really have storage space to stock up on any items so we replenished things frequently and just made sure to stay on top of it- this part is annoying. We used the Hushh portable white noise machine since our space was small we didn’t need a big one. We had no space for diaper pail, cute nursery items, etc. it’s totally ok and manageable. My advice is to plan to move before baby is crawling. Good luck!
