When both my kids were newborns I found that the things I used the most were, baby wipes, receiving blankets, diaper shirts (or undershirts), sleepers (because you are always changing them) little mittens so they don't scratch their faces and if you are gonna be using a soother than make sure you have a few on hand that have already been sterilized that way when one falls on the floor or something than you have another ready to go.

I hope that helps

Thanks, I think that will help. I should buy some more reciveing blankets tho, I don't have very many at the moment.

for me the most important things are....

bottles, liners, water, formula (she goes through a lot of bottles, only takes playtex bottles, and has a hard time with tap water), nuks (passifiers), crib pads (so she could air out without peeing everywhere), sleeping outfits, wipes, diapers, boppy, pack and play, swing or bouncer, and baby pouch

i didnt really need blankets or anything cause she was born in summer but of course you will need thse too

oh and a car seat, they wont let you out of the hospital without one

I used a lot of receiving blankets because both my kids used to spit up all the time so they were really handy during feeding time. They are nice and soft so they didn't irritate their skin.

Thanks girls, I should buy some crib mat thingies then.
