In all honesty there are lots of things you could do without. In case you are on a budget then you truly only need to be bothered with necessities anyway. What are the baby's necessities? They are food, bathing, clothing, and travel items. Here are some things you will need for baby.

Nursery - The baby's room is much more of a luxury at this point. Often times the infant is kept with the parents or in a bassinet by the parents bed. Really the only part of a nursery that's actually needed is a crib, crib mattress, and crib bedding. Furthermore, for calming and sleeping purposes, a swing might be a necessity if you've got a unsettled baby.

Travel - There will be times when you have to travel especially to visit the doctor for the baby's wellness check ups. Which means you will need an infant car seat. You might not require a stroller for a while but there are numerous infant car seat and stroller combinations that will make life much easier ultimately .

Bath - At the start you'll need a baby bathtub. You don't want to submerge your newborn into the bath water. You just need to wipe her or him clean with a wash cloth. Obviously, you will need baby bath soap, wash pads, towels, powder, and lotion. Additionally you need to look after the umbilical cord with a cotton ball and alcohol.

Diapering - Some mothers and fathers wish to use all natural and reusable diapers (cloth) while other parents choose to use disposable diapers. One thing is sure - the baby needs diapers. Along with diapers the baby also needs wipes and diaper rash cream. To make transporting all of these things an easy task a diaper bag is definitely required.

And of course, this is not the full list as you will need clothes and perhaps formula and as your baby grows there will be more things he or she will need. But at the moment all you need to do is get the necessities and you will be ready for your newborn baby!
