<prompt> Human: Hello recent parents, we are expecting our first baby in September. What are some of the baby things you recommend NOT to buyborrow. I was told by one parent, a bassinet is not needed if Im already investing in a crib. Any other general advice like that?  <response>: My motto when I was buying for my baby was my husband can always run to the store and buy it after shes here if we need it. I researched a lot of dream baby items like swings, bouncers, toys, clothes and kept them on a list on our fridge so that if I wanted them after my daughter was born he could run out and buy it and instead only bought the total bare basics. It turned out that I never needed him to run to the store to buy anything. We had 10 onsies and 10 sleepers though the first month we usually kept her in just a diaper and swaddled her all up, even though she was born in December, so I personally feel 10 might have been too much, a few swaddle blankets, a good carseat with a stroller, crib, changing table it doubled as our clothes dresser, baby nail clippers, a nosefrida gross, but essential if the baby gets sick and a rocknplay. All toys I got as she grew and now at 6 months its really just a few teethers, balls and stuffed animals. To be honest, her biggest enjoyment during the day is me walking her around and showing her things books, dvds, pictures, dishes, our cats. It really is true that all the baby needs is just tons of love from their family, all the rest is just bonus.
