Newborn diapers, wipes, & desitin, & the changing mat that came with it. I also plan to add a pack of disposable bags for dirty diapers I received at my shower.
Diapers, wipes, diaper cre, lotion, nasal aspirator, saline drops, rectal thermometer, q-tips. It'll be a bin in our top drawer. An actual caddy you carry around I'd probably have diapers, wipes, disper cream, and maybe a burp cloth on stand-by. If you have a boy who pees, then some wash cloths to cover him up with (luckily I didn't have a pee-er).
I had a ton of stuff to put in my caddy but I have a 6 day old baby and these have been our daily go to items: pampers, wipes, vaseline( for circumsion), qtips to remove vaseline from container, hand sanitizer, paper towel.
I also have rubbing alcohol and cotton balls to clean the umbilical cord before it falls off.
I thought I would need this as well because that's what I read some where. My hospital told me they no longer suggest using alcohol on the cord( something done for many many years) and just leave it alone.. I guess you should just follow whatever instructions they give you.

Glad I am not the only one who was going to ask this!
This! They think it contributes to asthma!

I know what I include will change as he grows.

I figgen love our diaper caddy and it's seriously one of my favortie baby gear items ever. We've been using it for almost 4 years now (since DS was born) and its amazing. Here's the one we have: https://www.amazon.com/JJ-Cole-Collections-Diaper-Stripe/dp/B000SEPO8G
In ours we have...
diapers
wipes
"stink" bags (scented bags for dirty diapers)
a few thermometers
butt paste
chapstick
vaseline
nail clippers
When the kids were newborns we also had a few extra paci's, nasal aspirator, etc in there too.
