First child? So people are going to get a lot of clothes for you. Onesies are where it's at. Anything else is over the top and not really necessary. You probably won't be taking your child out into the world a lot. A Co-sleeper is really convenient for the first few months, you can attach it to the side of your bed so you don't have to do much when the baby wakes up at night. I recommend having at least 6 SwaddleMe's. Baby's love being swaddled until their a few months old. Also recommend 6-8 bottles at a time to minimize dishes. Anglecare bath support is necessary to give baths in. Don't bath them until they're a few weeks to a month old, then try to start giving him baths before bed to get him into a cycle. These are our favorite bibs for later when he starts to drool a lot. Onesies and bibs is where you will catch yourself doing a ton of laundry, so get a lot of them. Babies soil their clothes easy. Oh sorry, the bibs are kinda 4+ months, but for a newborn please don't forget a cap and mittens, they get cold because they can't regulate their arms and legs. Our son was pretty good. He would wake up ever 3 hours, we'd change him, feed him, and he'd go back to sleep. That went on for about a month and then it went to 4-5 hours and slowly he started to just stay up all day (That's where it gets rough). Let me know how it goes! Congrats!
edit: Oh, a vibrating swing is REALLY good for non-cosleeper comfort when you're in the living room or at the computer, etc.
Congrats!! I really like these bibs. I removed the teether and attached a pacifier. Or I put my own teether.

Also soft baby toys, soft books, soft blocks.
If you purchase one bib, you've spent $12, $1.20 of which will supposedly go to charity. (I see nothing on there about charitable status or 501c, no mention of accounting or accountability, nothing. or anything. Plenty about what credit cards they take, though.
If you really like the bibs, by all means, buy a bib. I hope you get it.
If you really need bibs, you can get 10 for $14 on Amazon, and if you use Amazon Smile, a small portion of what you pay is donated to the charity if your choice.
But if you really want to feed children, send Feeding America a donation. Send them the $1.20 and feed someone for most of a week. Send them the entire $12 and feed a family of four for a week and a half. That'll do a lot more good than a bib.
Rubber bibs are great as the baby enters the toddler years. I recommend getting ones without Velcro as the Velcro gets a disgusting stench after a few washes.

I mean if she eats it all it’s not cheating. My little nephew has a food catching bib. Once he’s done eating he flips that sucker on his plate and eats the rest. What if she does something similar? Not saying she does, but if that were the intent (which it isn’t in this video) would it be cheating?
Well you hit the nail on the head, the image quality on the main photo was so bad they suppressed the item. I never noticed because I am still so new to this.

Here is the link because I will 100% gratefully take constructive criticism.
My son spit up BUCKETS as a newborn/infant. SO. MUCH. SPITUP. Once he was treated for acid reflux the discomfort he was feeling went away, but the spit up stuck around. He never lost weight though so... as far as his ped was concerned it was a laundry issue.
And boy was it ever.
We survived it via bibs. I had about 30 of these bad boys and we cycled through them weekly. I always made sure I had at least 5 onesies on hand and a shirt or two for me. I also had around 30 of these rags stashed EVERYWHERE around the house, in the diaper bag, and in our cars. They too got cycled through every week.
Other than that - burp after every 2 oz. A good - man sized burp. Keep baby upright for half an hour after feeding. Keep a rag between baby and yourself as much as possible (this part sucks because skin to skin is awesome). Keep your furniture covered (swaddle blankets are awesome for this). Keep your mouth closed (seriously... just ask my husband). And never - NEVER - get dressed for work until you're walking out the door.
Spit up slowed a little around 10 months but lasted for about a year, for us. Once we cut out the liquid diet and he was off bottles and onto full time solid food he stopped. Hopefully yours doesn't go that long!
Definately put burp cloths under his head basically whenever you put them down. I used the smallish like 4 inch wide Gerber burp cloths that you can buy in like 4 packs. I would put one under her head and then just toss them in the laundry once they were inevitably ruined.
As for me and my clothes, we used the flannel receiving blankets. they make excellent burp cloths, super absorbent, and the cover ALOT.

My first recommendation is to check to see if she has a baby registry. New parents need/want LOTS of stuff, and while all gifts are appreciated, having someone help cover the essentials always made us really happy! Some of my favorite gifts were for things we needed like extra bottles, bassinet sheets, and giftcards to Amazon.
Now, to your question - here are some top items we've used with our new baby:
With the exception of the activity mat, you can really never have too many of the above items!
Our bumper group loves: kick n play piano, sit-me-up, the Winkel, the haaka, baby Brezza, love to dream swaddle, and (the holy grail) baby Merlin magic sleepsuit 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Also, these bibs ! So soft and absorbent and cute, and are amazing for when they start getting drooly so you don’t have to change their outfit over and over
I love these burp clothes!

You want tepid food the first couple of days, cold is also fine. You also do not want to use a straw.
What do you normally eat?
Root vegetables that have been steamed into mush, bananas, mushy peas or refried beans, wonderbread, nut butter, vegetable juice, egg salad or savory custard, chilled noodles, unflavored gelatin or a nice stock for savory gelatin... a couple of pouches of baby food or toddler food would make a good emergency snack. Cheerios should be okay as long as you drink something between bites. Jook might be good when you can start eating warm food.
You have time to buy a food mill, blender, potato ricer, or baby food maker. This is cheap and will probably get the job done.
Don't worry about if something is high-calorie or low calorie for the volume. You probably won't want to eat much until you start to heal.
Bibado Bibs.
Have a look at this bib. My wife and I use this for our daughter. There is still a lot of mess, but we don't need to change any clothes as the food only goes on her hands and face.
I couldn't recommend these bibs more.

I thought this may help my fellow new parenters out there. If you're anything like me, you scoured the internet checking off every "must-have" baby items list before your LO was born, but I still ended up having Amazon deliver things about every other day for the first couple months.
As a disclaimer, I'm not saying these are MUST HAVE items. I just went through my Amazon purchases and I'm writing down some things that I purchased in those 3 AM wee hour Amazon shopping sprees.
Here's a compilation of everything that I felt I missed in my preparation for my baby girl:

I hope this helps! Let me know if there's anything you would add to the list.
One more thing i would say. YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY BURP CLOTHS... lol We use them for everything. we love this style: https://www.amazon.com/Muslin-Baby-Burp-Cloths-Girls/dp/B0772P4YGX/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1526498521&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=burp+cloths+bib&psc=1
It can be a bib or a burp cloth and is great even as they get older!!!
I recommend that you get terrycloth diapers like this. You will need them for when your baby is in the constantly spitting up/drooling phase.
Also, I would get about one billion cloth diapers to use as burp cloths. These are good.
Another thing that saved our lives was a mobile for the crib. It occupied my LO for 5-10 minutes when I really needed to put him down for a minute to take a quick shower. This one is awesome.
Not sure what your philosophy is on pacifiers, but we used lots of them, and they disappear into the ether kind of like socks, so it's good to have lots.
Also, I highly recommend registering for some good nursing bras/tanks. I didn't get these until a couple months post-partum, and I wished I had gotten them sooner. I like this one.
Edit: Assumed you were nursing, but disregard the last one if you're not. :)
So I have been thinking about getting some bibs for DD and you're right about pink. My mom got us some gender neutral when we announced our pregnancy. But I saw these and thought they were cute. Some pink, but for the most part I felt girly but not overly.... girly...

I love my baby bum brush! It's a silicon spatula designed to put on diaper cream. No more cream under my nails! I also love the Oogie Boogie bear which helps get out stuck boogers. Oh and drool bibs are great too.
