What's needed for our baby

We are first time parents and looking online at big items to purchase for the baby. Does anyone have a list of must have items to purchase ? I know lots of things come from a baby shower but we won't count on other people to provide for our child. We will be great full but need to be prepared! ! Anyone have an official list of must haves ?? Ie; stroller, car seat,  crib, Walker , swing..... ext

be carefulof the online list as. they areloaded witheverything possible unddr the sun. basically you need a place for baby to sleep. like s crib ot bassindt....I'd.  using bassinet borrow out but one used. b/c they are great nut may only be used for a few months, something for the baby to wear..but the baby died not need 20 pieces of every type of clothing, diapers, butbee careful of leading up.  on newborn b/c plenty of babies with dint for them atbirth or grow out of them quickly. all the extra seats, swings,andcontraptionscanbe borrowed ourpicked up at yard sales as some babies. love swings and others hate them...or borrowfirst to see if baby is a fan. if you cover eating, sleeping, and clothing, cleaning/bathing (baby soap, cloths, towls, lotion) along with a diaper bag you should be set. although I did love the boppy for feeding the baby...especially b/c baby would fall asleep and I could stay comfy;)
