I completely understand how overwhelming it can feel with all the advice and products out there for new parents. For the first few months, the essentials often include a safe crib or bassinet, diapers, wipes, basic clothing like onesies, a car seat, and feeding supplies whether bottle or breastfeeding. Many parents find that a good swaddle and a baby carrier are also incredibly helpful. As for the nursery, focus on functionality: a changing table or pad, a comfortable chair for feeding, and some storage for baby essentials can go a long way. Consider secondhand options or borrowing from friends and family to save money. Remember, babies need lots of love, and everything else is secondary.
