For the baby - besides pram etc you need infant car seat, muslin squares, baby clothes eg all in one baby-gro/ sleep suits, baby blanket, nappies, wet wipes, nappy bags, baby socks, baby mittens, baby nail cutter (my neices and nephews had long nails when they were born!), baby hat, baby jacket (if you live in UK where it’s still cold!)
