Buy diapers and wipes whenever you're at the store if you can afford it. Then you'll have a stockpile ready for when baby arrives!

Diapers, wipes, baby bath, shampoo, lotion, bum cream, nipple cream if you plan on breast feeding, breast pads, pacifiers, blankets, burp cloths and bibs, a swing or other bouncer to keep baby occupied while you do other things You will likely go through 3 outfits a day at first! Lol so I would get a good stock up :)

All you really need is a place for baby to sleep, safe way of travel (car seat if you drive or stroller if you walk), clothing, and diapers. You can provide the food yourself, but it's up to you if you want to pump or breastfeed.

Call your insurance company. Ask your doctor for a prescription for a pump and insurance will tell you where u can get one. I'd say you should get the essentials soonish. Car seat, a place for baby to sleep (bassinet, playpen or crib)

If you have health insurance you would have a breast pump and the supplies that goes with it. Are you having a shower
