Must have items. First time mom

First time mom here. Just wondering what are some of your must have items?? It is so overwhelming trying to research and trying to figure out what I need.

Swaddles diaper bag, gas drops, towels, wash cloths, sleepers, bouncy chair, bassinet, wearable pump, bottles and pacifiers. Every baby is different so my advice is to get the essentials and after the baby gets her you can always order what you need and have it shipped to you.

2 bouncers…one lives in the bathroom and the other is for everywhere else in the house. A changing table if you can…your back will thank you. A dimmable nightlight sound machine …for those nighttime feeds and diaper changes so you don’t have to turn on the light (red is the best color because it doesn’t disrupt sleep and white noise is great). A humidifier and air purifier for the bedroom if possible. Large burp cloths. A crib or pack n play for sleep. A nursing pillow is great to have but not a must. Footie pajamas in size nb, 0-3 months, and 3 months…same with diapers in all three sizes…because you don’t know how big you baby will be, plus they grow so fast. Wipes. A sleep sack because a swaddle can come loose and blankets aren’t safe either.
