What else am I missing (from a 3rd tri mom)

pb_bride

We need to finish up getting all the baby stuff/gear using our registry completion coupon.  Before I do so, I just want to be sure we have "everything."

Have 

Crib, crib sheets, PnP, RnP, swing, glider, activity gym, mobile, cloth diapers, cloth wipes, diaper pail liner, wetbags, NB & 0-3 clothes, swaddlemes, burb cloths, blankets, hooded towels, bottles (I plan to BF), breast pads, nursing cover, boppy, My brest friend, nursing tanks, K'tan, Ergobaby, carseat, snap n go, monitor, changing pad w/covers

Still need to buy

crib mattress, mattress pads, PnP sheets, baby wash/lotion, diaper cream, manual breast pump, nipple cream, bottle brush, nail clipper set, rectal thermometer, infant tylenol, bathtub, shower cap-style carseat cover

What else do I need? I know my hospital will send me home w/ nose aspirator as well as baby hair brush. 

TIA! 

P.S. We are only buying things we need for 0-6 months right now as there's a possibility we may need to move when LO is around 6 months.

bottles, wash cloths, pacifiers

You have these listed but I found I needed more swaddlemes and more changing pads---particularly travel ones.

Ditch the rectal thermometer and get an ear thermometer; people have accidentally lacerated/punctured their LO's rectum with those things. Really, you shouldn't be sticking anything up your kid's butt unless directed by your pediatrician.

Sleepsack and more burp cloths. And the paci clips..if it werent for those I would never find a paci when i need one!

I would suggest an electric breast pump. I BF and occasionally pump for bottles that DH can give her, but I can't imagine pumping manually. I SAH so I pump for comfort and sanity not necessity.

this - and a ton of those mini wash cloths, or buy more regular wash cloths you don't mind getting dirty or whatever.

Bath tub with a sling, baby bath towels, gas drops, gripe water, humidifier, saline drops, Jumparoo or exersaucer, bibs, hand sanitizer, diaper bag, nail clippers and nail files, teething toys (L loves sophie the giraffe), glow seahorse.

We have a temporal thermometer.

And I wouldn't get pacis....they are more likely to cause ear infections and can neg. impact bfing.

Totally disagree with you on this. Our dr. said pacifiers are good for newborns and infants because they help soothe lo's before they can self soothe. To each their own!!!

Congrats!!!! I remember you from 3T! So excited for you!

I needed and electric breast pump right away becuase LO was a preemie and unable to nurse, with that said, extra pump parts so you aren't washing all the time. I also really like the undershits for DD, its been chilly here. Also, I have bought the disposable changing pads from BRU and carry them in my diaper bag and also use on the pack and play changer and over her changing pad upstairs, it helps when she goes when I open the diaper, I can just throw them out and the cover is fine. I also like to lay them over the pad thingy when using public restrooms. I also like the nose frida it worked really good when DD had a cold last week. I would get a humidifier as well. We love our forhead thermometor, you just swipe it across  forehead. I also love our rock and play, its been great to move DD around in when she falls asleep in family room (we have PNP there, but use more for changing). I also, love the Halo Sleep Sacks. If you are going to pump get the hands free bra.

I did not get s baby hairbrush from the hospital so you might want to get one.

I also highly recommend an electric pump if you can swing the cost.

Did you mention a tub? We wash DD in the sink an use the Puj tub. Saves space.

You might like a white noise machine.

And don't forget to pack your nipple cream in your hospital bag!!
