Things you will need for your baby..
1. CLOTHES- If you can buy up to 6 months then do it because baby will grow fast and it will be one less thing to worry about. Also if you can find a good "secondhand" store then that will save you alot of money on baby clothes. Alot of these stores have gently used and even new clothes sometimes that are in great shape for half the price.
(Get "onesies" because they will be used alot and are easy for baby to wear around the house and play.)
2. DIAPERS/WIPES- You can get regular diapers or cloth. Cloth save money however are more of a hassle and in my opinion not quite as sanitary. Just my opinion.
3. CARSEAT/STROLLER
4. BABY CRIB/BASSINET- Most bassinets are only to be used for about the first two months and then the baby outgrows them but they are good for co-sleeping which is nice for newborns. A convertible type crib is convenient because they can convert from crib to daybed to twin or full size bed. Adjustments vary on each crib so just check it. Good buy though.
5. STORAGE-Whether you buy a dresser or storage bins, it doesn't matter. You will definitely need some storage and organization to help keep your wife sane. It will keep everything in order and she will know exactly where everything is.
6. BATH/BODY PRODUCTS- You will need to get lotion, buttrash cream, hair/body wash, nailclippers for baby, thermometer!!!(rectal is best for babies but ask your pediatrician), aspirator (suction ball for nose), qtips (ear swabs), washclothes, a couple of baby towels. I don't know what you have in your country but Johnson's baby products are very popular here in the US. Anything that is designed for baby is good though just as long as it isn't harsh.
7. DIAPER BAG- From my own experience it is best to buy atleast a medium size bag because you will run out of room quickly in a small bag. Also a bag that has a long strap that can be worn "cross body" is nice because it will allow you to be hands free so you can carry the baby and other items. (Alot of bags come with travel changing mats in them, this is nice because you never know where you will be when baby needs a diaper change! =))
8. BOPPY PILLOW(optional)- This is a convenient item especially if your wife i considering breastfeeding. Even if she isn't though it will help to relieve some of the weight on her when trying to feed baby. It will assist in holding baby and it also is nice for baby to lay and sleep in.
9. BOTTLES- If you are going to use these then you will probably need to find one that your baby really likes so you may end up buying a couple. Don't stock up on one kind until you know for sure what kind your baby likes. GET A BOTTLE BRUSH TO FOR CLEANING.
10. PACIFIERS-(optional)
11. PLAYPEN/PACNPLAY-(optional) This is a bigger version kind of, of the bassinet. It is mainly intended as a "safe area" for your baby to nap and play during the day however try to not to leave baby unattended even if they are in this. These are nice though because they can be put in the living room, etc and mom can clean or do whatever while baby is napping/playing here. =)
OTHER ITEMS THAT ARE NEEDED LATER ON
1. SWING-(optional)
2. BOUNCEY CHAIR-(optional)
3. PLAYMAT/TOYS- Use these to help stimulate baby's senses so he/she can learn.
4. HIGHCHAIR
ITEMS MOM WILL NEED
Since your wife will be nursing she will need....
Nursing bras, breast cream to help heal any chapping, nursing pads, nursing shirts
When you go to buy clothes for baby don't overbuy any ONE size. Get some newborn, then 0-3mths, and then 3-6mths. Your baby will grow fast. If you have any questions about the sizes talk to the store associate. They will help you. Most newborns are between 6-9lbs so this will fit newborn size.
I can't think of anything else that you will need and I hope this helps you atleast get started. Good luck!!
