What do I need to buy? essentials?

I’m a first time mum and I just don’t know where to start with my list of stuff to buy!! I need to know the essential stuff to buy, I’ve got a next to me crib, pram/isofix/car seat, motion chair,carrier and some nappies and few bits of clothes. What else do I need that is essential? I’m planning on breastfeeding if I can, do I buy bottles if so what size, STRESSED. I’m not worried too much about buying a cot etc atm. I feel stupid asking but I just don’t have a clue and have no idea where to start and don’t want to miss anything!

First time Mum here too! I found this helpful https://www.nhs.uk/start-for-life/pregnancy/preparing-for-labour-and-birth/what-to-buy-for-your-newborn-baby/

Essentials.... I would say somewhere for baby to sleep, something for baby to wear and a car seat if you have a car. Bottles if you are not breastfeeding. The rest you can get as you go tbh xxx

Get the bounty app has everything you need on there x

Hey mama. First time mum here too! This is my list that I am going by. Hope this helps! Xxx

Just to say a lot of these lists have breasts pumps as essential for breast feeding. I breastfed my baby to 14 months and never pumped (she wouldn't take a bottle) so I'd say see how you go as they can be really expensive! And if desperate they have them at the hospital or on next day delivery xx

@Gabby thank you so much for this list! Wonderfully organized!
