Baby bjorn bouncer.
This was one of my most priced possessions during the first 6 months. It allowed us to do everything, from having a normal meal to taking a shower. I gift this to everyone I know who's having a baby
Check out Lucies List - I made my registry pretty much of all their recommendations. Didn’t steer me wrong, very little of our gear went unused and there wasn’t anything I didn’t really like.
I second Lucie’s list. Also the book Baby Bargains was helpful for info and produce comparisons.
First off, I can relate. My first is due 10/9. So no specific items to share but can suggest an approach if helpful
We had a cool cousin send hers over. It helped us know which sections to prioritize. Then we went to Buy Buy Baby to see if we saw anything else we wanted and build a registry.
Ironically, given the wide range of income in our family / friend group we’re going to build the whole registry on Amazon.
I used a swing a lot, boppy pillow and nursing cover up.

As someone said before, the bouncer, and the carrier as well. As many onesies as possible of the kind that can be opened from everywhere (shoulder, bottom, body... The ones that are a single piece are a nightmare to put and take off). There's some pj's that are like a bag with an opening on the bottom. Most comfortable thing ever to change a baby while half asleep. Finally, bottle warmer. I breastfed exclusively but froze some milk to use when I wasn't there. This thing was gifted to us and super useful, pour the milk in the bottle, some water in the warmer and that's it. Sounds useless but way better than the microwave.
Bottle warmer is a good one! Lots of onesie and sleepers .

Do the diaper raffle at the shower! I didn’t have to pay for diapers for the first like 9 months and got to try a bunch of different brands and find what we liked and worked for our daughter. The boppy lounger and nursing pillows were fabulous and I heavily used both. Ask for gift cards! I was constantly ordering small things I didn’t know I would need and not everyone does the first few weeks after the baby is born, ie nipple guards, nipple cream, wipe warmer, more Velcro swaddlers, etc. Honestly, I got hand me down swing, play mat, and rolling bassinet. I highly recommend if you can find because you only use these things for a few months and there are a lot of other items you can get that you will use for years. Register for a good jogging stroller (love my Jeep stroller). Haven’t jogged with it yet but great for off roading , zoo trips, etc. also, a diaper genie for each floor of your house... seriously.
As echoed by other moms, bassinet, bouncer (Baby Bjorn is really good), a wrap or a baby carrier, diapers, onesies, burp clothes, playmats are good options. Strollers, car seats can be added as well as you will need them for sure. Additionally, baby bottles, baby food makers, wipes warmer and bottle warmers can be added as well.
