just asking

So I'm a ftm and I'm due Aug 17. I haven't started to do anything besides buy a crib,tub,stroller, car seat,some clothes,washcloths, socks and a breast pump that only takes breastflow bottles. Just asking what else do I really need?

Until baby gets here you rly won't need much more. You can't bathe your baby until its about 10 days old bc of the umbilical stump. Baby won't need crib blankets. Good thick sleepers will do.a pack of cloth diapers makes great burp rags as well as being a back up in case you run out of diapers at 2am. I never use nail clippers. Only Emery boards as I've snipped nails too close enough times. If your breast feeding there is no need to buy formula, you will most likely get some at the hospital which you can keep in case you have issues with breast feeding.

I think I covered everything. Oh there is this Cushing for the car seat to stabilize the head when they are little.  Not sure what is called.  Good luck

I would buy some feeding bottles in case your milk runs out or you are out with baby and don't wanna breastfeed. Brush to clean bottles,  sterilizer.  Shampoo and body wash, rocker or swinger( some babies are born with collics). Crib sheets,  blankets,  bath towels,  bibs, burp cloths ( in case will throw up). Desitin or A&d,în case of a rash, baby powder,  lotion ( for some babies Desitin doesn't work)
