What are the NECESSITIES for baby coming home for the first 3 or so months?

Can we make a list (im sure everyone has things that they could not live without and those are the thing i want to hear about)!!

Our family believes in baby showers after the baby is born, so DH and I want to know what we need to go out and get before our darling comes home.

I will start with some of things I 'think' i know i need. i could be wrong

- Bassinette &/or Co-Sleeper
-Diapers/wipes
-Receiving Blanket
-Clothing (onesies mostly)
- Baby Swing
- Baby Bouncer
- Bottles
- Stroller
- Car Seat

Im sure Im missing alot of things (lol) so please let me know wha tyou think of my list and what you had

Mylecon drops were a must for us. I also used the paper protector covers for the changing pad. In the beginning you have a few accidents on the changing table. They'll prevent you from having to wash the changing pad cover. The Boppy Pillow was also important, I even used it in the hospital. Vasoline for diaper changing. I also found handy the microwave sterilizer. I hope that helped.

I think I thought that about 15 or so was enough. Well I forgot from my first baby that they go through about 2 or 3 onsies a day.
I had to send my husband out for more..
