Arm's Reach Mini Co-Sleeper BassinetArm's Reach Mini Co-Sleeper Bassinet
Buy new: $134.99
I have a Simplicity 4-in-1 bassinet $109-$129, but the Arm's Reach Mini Co-Sleeper looks good too. Comfortfirst.com has the "clear-vue" for $109, amazon has the vanilla for $129. Depends on which look you like. Even if you think you can do without, if you're nursing and want your baby to learn to sleep apart from you, you should get a bassinet so they can easily transition to a crib.
DaVinci Emily Convertible baby Crib - NaturalDaVinci Emily Convertible baby Crib - Natural
Buy new: $279.00
I have a similar crib, this one has good reviews and I have purchased furniture from babyage before. The natural finish won't show scratches as much.
DaVinci Dresser/Changer Combo - NaturalDaVinci Dresser/Changer Combo - Natural
Buy new: $279.00
I like the changing pad on a dresser rather than a table that you have to buy baskets for. The natural finish won't show scratches as much.
Graco Pack 'n Play Portable Playard with Bassinet & Changing Table in Bancroft 2007Graco Pack 'n Play Portable Playard with Bassinet & Changing Table in Bancroft 2007
Buy new: $109.99
I have the regular size, which is nice so baby has room to roll over. Sometimes I wish I had the travel size to be lighter & more compact for plane trips (plus, you could use it instead of a bassinet?). For car trips the regular size is fine (navy blue or sage are nice colors). It's worth spending a little more if the quilted mattress pad is included. Easy to buy & clean used ones too.

Buy new: $34.99
I have an Amy Coe embroidered zoo animals unisex set with a terry bumper and I love it.
Dex Products Secure SleeperDex Products Secure Sleeper
Buy new: $19.95
I have the original dex secure sleeper without the elevated wedge, this is probably just as good if not better so the baby doesn't slide down. comfortfirst.com has the flat one, so the foam is only under the head (will not get soiled by diaper failures), but I also used an exacto and made the pillow half as high.
Ultimate Crib SheetUltimate Crib Sheet
Buy new: $16.99
Once baby started rolling over and went from bassinet to crib. I liked using this between 3-6 months for piece of mind with regard to SIDS. It's easier to change but not as soft and comfy as fleece or chenille. Not an essential, but nice if you want something like this.
American Baby Company Heavenly Soft Chenille Crib Sheet - MaizeAmerican Baby Company Heavenly Soft Chenille Crib Sheet - Maize
Buy new: $24.33
I have the pottery barn microfiber crib sheet in lemon yellow, this looks similar. I love it for babies over 6 months when SIDS is less of an issue. Any wetness stays on top though rather than absorbing so for a natural fiber instead go with cotton/fleece.
Summer Infant Deluxe Soft Embrace Comfort Bouncer Tan BearsSummer Infant Deluxe Soft Embrace Comfort Bouncer Tan Bears
This is similar to one I have, mine needs improvement, this one seems to have it all. I used this instead of a swing (don't get them used to being rocked to sleep).

Gerber Long-Sleeve Onesies - GirlGerber Long-Sleeve Onesies - Girl
I like the 0-3 size with long-sleeves and fold-over handmitts, side snap onesies or bodysuits without side snaps. Also buy same size pants, yellow is the best color for newborns
Gerber 5pk Tonal Onesies - YellowGerber 5pk Tonal Onesies - Yellow
these are nice for 3 months and up. buy sizes depending on the season (3 pk is all you need, carters and circo/target brands are good too) I like the stretchy arms with the surger finish, not the sewn folded over finish on the arm openings

these are great with the zippers, buy the size the baby will be in cool weather
Halo Innovations SleepSack Wearable Blankets Micro Fleece in Baby Yellow - MediumHalo Innovations SleepSack Wearable Blankets Micro Fleece in Baby Yellow - Medium
Buy new: $19.99
First buy the Carters 0-9 mo fleece sleepsack then if it's outgrown go to this Halo microfleece, medium should fit if it's still winter. You don't need the swaddleme wrap, just receiving blankets in muslin for hot weather, stretchy cotton for mild weather and flannel for cold weather.

My Brest Friend Light Green Deluxe PillowMy Brest Friend Light Green Deluxe Pillow
Buy new: $40.49

If you can find the gerber ones I think you get more of them so it's a better deal, but medela is great, I needed a dozen and did not like disposables.

Medela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump with BackpackMedela Pump in Style Advanced Breast Pump with Backpack
Buy new: $277.48
Medelas new pump! The difference between the original and advanced is this one has a let-down phase that mimics baby's nursing to help the milk let-down faster. It's great for moms that have a hard time letting down, otherwise the Original will work great for you too.
