The list includes:

Clothes Change table items Bathtime Bedtime For mom General and first aid Feeding Out & about Nappy bag Useful travel items

Do keep in mind that people are often incredibly generous when a baby is born, so you may end up with multiple items. Consider using this as a babies checklist for registries, so you can let people know what you need.

You may decide to do without some specialized items such as a bottle warmer, sterilization equipment, or nappy disposal system. They may seem unnecessary, but they are all very handy. Feeding and nappy changing goes on for about 2 years.
