I had compiled this list of baby necessities when I was on here originally and it seemed to help a lot of people so I just thought I would share it again. I hope it helps! :)

CRIB
-Mattress

DIAPER RELATED STUFF
-Wipes *I use unscented just to cautious of allergies that she may have
-Changing Pad
-Diaper Bag
-Rash Cream(ex: Desitin) *I use clear rash cream for my baby girl. So if she is to have any kind of disharges I'll be able to notice it. You may not be able to see it with the thicker whit creams.

BUY SOMETHING JUST FOR YOU! DOESNT HAVE TO BE SOMETHING YOU NEED, SOMETHING YOU WANT. It may be a while before you do that again.lol
