Other stuff
2 pack packages small diapers

The big stuff
The VERY first thing you must buy is a CAR SEAT
Crib
As far a bassinet it is up to you remember baby will not use this very long.
I would suggest a good pack n play over a bassinet they often come with attachable bassinet and changing tables.
A swing great for soothing baby when you have been doing it for hours.
Also a bouncy seat is wonderful
Our list of don't needs
Bottle warmers hot tap water run over a bottle works just as well.
Easy to hold bottles the ones with the hole in the center there are impossible to clean!!!!
A changing table?I changing mat is awesome ! used one all the time to change where ever I happened to be. Far more convenient.
Many of those tiny cute outfits. Buy a few you love for special events and pictures. Babies grow fast these out fits may only fit for a month.
There are many more needs and don't needs. It is a personal thing for each of us. This is just a general guide.
