Let's talk about the things you do not need right away, but you might need later:
1) Crib: You do not need it right away, but you might need to order them way before the baby arrive, because if they are not in stock, it will take 6-8 weeks to order it, some high end brands even longer.
We did not buy the high end brands, we bought one from Delta for about $200 from Babydepot(Burlington),as long as they are new, they all should meet the safety requirement, of course there are always fancy and more expensive ones out there, some nicer brands: BASSETT, Bali(high end), BRATT DECOR(high end)
2) Stroller, well, you do not need the stroller in the first 3 - 4 weeks, because the bay hardly going out.
Again, so many to choose from, well, you want to match the infant car seat, you want it comfortable, after all, you are to use it a lot, you might need more than one, for different occasions
My wife tried a lot different brands, she fell in love with the Peg-Perego Pliko P3 Stroller directly, but it is at the high end of the side, Combi is nice, it is the lightest stroller in the market, and the infant car seat is very stylish as well, Graco or Evenflo have a lot of models and are affordable, but kind of heavy, so please do try out by yourself..
3) Diaper pail, It is not a must, just nice to have, the Diaper Champ($29) is the best seller.
4) Wipe warmer, again, it is not a must, we bought that, and feel it is useful, especially during the night,
Ultimate Wipes Warmer from Prince Lionheart Inc is the best, but do remember, it only fit the wipes from Pampers, not the other brands..
6) Glider Rocker:
It is really great for nursering the baby, If you do not have it, it will OK, but if you have it, it would be much better...But do not buy those cheap gliders (you could find one like $99, in some store, the parts will fall off soon), Dutailier is the best brand in the market, but they are kind of expensive, we got ours from our neighbor, a Dutailier, it is great! you could feel the difference.
7) Breast milk Bags:
It could store, and freeze expressed milk for future use for one year!! Is that great? Right now, sometimes, my wife is so tired to feeding, so I just grab one bag of freezing milk and warm it up, and then I feed the baby, using mommy's milk!!
8) Diaper Bags
It could be really expensive if you buy the brand ones, buy you could it in Old Navy, they have really stylish and cheap diaper bag, my wife asked her cousin bought one from China, well, it is not really the diaper bag, but it is really great, and the hospital always give you one, it is not that stylish, but useable
