What typical baby gear did you choose not to buy? Like, what things did everyone tell you that you HAVE to get, but you didn't get? For example, has anyone gotten along without:
1. bouncy seat
2. stroller
3. crib
4. highchair
5. baby backpack/sling for carrying baby
These are just examples of typical baby gear. I'm just wondering if anyone was told that they HAVE to get something like this and chose not to/couldn't afford it and so got along without it.
Obviously, it's illegal to go without a carseat....
Answer
You don't NEED a bouncy seat, and if you are worried about space you could switch a high chair out for a space saver.
I've never used a sling. I also went without the Diaper Genie.

Answer
Bath/Grooming:
-Diapers
-Wipes
-Desitin, or any other rash cream or baby powder
-wash cloths
-hooded towels
-Baby wash
-Baby bath tub
Clothing:
-Lots of onesies and sleepers
-Receiving blankets for swaddling
-socks
-sun hat
-Mittens to prevent scratching
-Baby laundry detergent (use for the first year)
-Bibs and burp cloths
-If you are not nursing, a couple cans of formula/bottles/bottle brush with nipple cleaner
-Crib/waterproof pads/bedding
-Lots of binkies(if you are using them), nail clippers, bulb syringe for suctioning mucous, baby thermometer (forehead one works best), infant medication in case of fever
-Infant car seat and stroller
-A monitor is nice to have. We got one that detects if baby is breathing and alerts if breathing stops, but to be honest we never turned the motion sensor on. The few times I did the alarm went off right away.
Other things that are not necessities but great to have are:
-boppy
-infant swing (great for a place for baby to calm down or nap)
-baby backpack (slings were recalled for strangulation)
-bouncer/vibrating chair
-bumbo (good for learning to sit and for feeding time w/"play tray")
-rattles and toys
-mirror for in the car so you can see baby
-diaper bag
-sleep wedge (this is good for making baby feel cozy and so he/she stays on back)
A lot of things like the swing, bouncer, etc. can be bought at second hand baby stores. Most things are gently used and some are even brand new for so much cheaper!
