Wipes
Baby wipes are the single most multifunctional item moms will ever have. Not only do they help clean Baby's bottom, they can also be used to wipe down countertops, take off your makeup (yes, really!) and even be used to take deodorant stains off dark shirts!

Bottles
Whether you're breastfeeding or formula-feeding, at some point, Baby will probably need to take a meal from someone other than Mom, so having bottles on hand is essential. And if you're going to be a pumping mom, you'll definitely want to make sure to have more than a few on hand so you're not constantly washing bottles and all the small parts that come with them.

Stroller
For many new moms, the stroller is a lifesaver. When Baby (or Mom) starts feeling cranky, getting outside into the fresh air can make a world of difference. So strap Baby into the stroller and go for a walk! It's also essential for getting around other important places—especially before Baby's old enough to sit up on their own—like the market and, you know, the mall. Because Mama's gotta have some fun, too!

Crib
Whether you end up using it right away or many months down the line, it's always nice to have a safe comfy place to put Baby down to sleep. And a crib like this one—that transforms into a toddler bed and a day bed later on down the line—is a total steal!

Bouncer, Rocker or Swing
Been there, done that moms know—having any place you can safely put a baby down is worth the investment. Moms swear by this Rock 'N Play, but any bouncer, swing or rocker would do. The Rock 'N Play is especially famous for its ability to help soothe infants with reflux issues, who may need to sleep at an angle to stay comfortable.

Infant Car Seat
Yes, technically you could just start out with a convertible car seat that accommodates infant sizes, but what do you do when your baby falls asleep in the car the second you park at your destination? Infant car seats are awesome because you can simply take them out of the car with Baby still in it, and pop it into a stroller or take it into your home. And anything that doesn't wake a sleeping baby is gold in our book!
