what are the basic things you need to have for the beggining of a babys life?

please help

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!

This is what I carried ever since I was in high school

-mirror
-wipes
-lip gloss /chap stick
-small deodorant- you never know, maybe you're stressed for the work, gym class, or you have a nerve rush for your presentation
-baby wipes- in case the deodorant fails you wipe before reapplying, or if you have a certain smell down there
- a pad-
eyeliner-
- blush-
-aspirin- headaches or certain pains
-allergy pills- if you need them
-nail filer- call me crazy but when i was doing manual projects and had a little crack on my nail it really bugged me, so i would file it for few seconds just to smooth it off and finish it at home
-hand sanitizer-
-small comb-
-small bottle of hair spray
hair ties and bobby pins
-body spray
-lotion
