What items do I need?

So as my due date is getting closer I am trying to make sure I have everything ready for my LO when he makes his debut. Of course I have his crib, blankets, clothes, diapers, ect. Is there anything that you wish you had bought before baby came for the first couple of weeks?

I know I won't be in the shopping mood for a while after he's born and my DH is a terrible shopper.  So what basic items should I make sure that I have for those tough first weeks?

Do you have a swing, bouncy seat & something for him to sleep in other than the crib so he can be close to you like a PNP, bassinet or co-sleeper?  If so, then the only other things I can think of would be gas drops for him, a Boppy, breast pump/bottles, alcohol & swabs for his belly button, vasaline & gauze for his circumcision, baby nail clippers, bath stuff, and don't forget about stuff for your recovery like pads, tylenol, hemorhoid medicine, and a good nursing bra.  HTH!

Oh, one more thing!  Oxyclean spray for accidents like leaky diapers, spit up, etc.  I've used it more in the past month than ever before!

Thanks that is very helpful. My baby shower is this Sunday so I will see what we get and go buy whatever is left.
