You are always able to bathe your baby in the kitchen sink or you may even shower or bathe with the baby. In this case, you will only need a towel a mat for changing the baby and a bench, bed or even the floor.
If you plan to leave home in the early months, you must have a car seat. You may not need a stroller immediately, but you may need a baby carrier or sling. Often times the car seats made these days are perfectly comfortable for a baby to rest in during travel times and even in the grocery store sitting inside a cart.
It isn’t necessary to purchase much clothing prior to the birth of your baby. Perhaps 4 or 5 sleepers, some onsies or t shirts, short sleeved body suits and socks will do the trick in the beginning. You can enjoy shopping for the baby after he/she arrives. Remember, your friends and family will likely buy clothing as gifts.
