Recommendations. Please note these are not all necessary, but have helped me as a FTM. I am also not sure of budget.
car seat: Nuna Pipa Aire. Unfortunately we were victims of a terrible car crash when my baby was a few days old. The car seat did its job and baby is ok. I will forever be loyal.
Stroller: Nuna travel, Nuna Demi
Clothing: gap & old navy zip onesies. Affordable. Not organic cotton, so if that’s important to you, disregard.
Diapers: I use and like coterie, but I am sure there are less expensive options.
Wipes: coterie & water wipes.
Diaper rash cream: Boudreaux’s butt paste.
Diaper pail: stainless steel diaper genie
Bath: Mustela products, tubby Todd, aquaphor baby
Diaper bag: lululemon new parent bag. I like that it is wipe-able and lightweight with good storage. I also use an LL bean tote with a zipper. They have inserts.
Bottles: Phillips avent glass bottles
Bottle washer: mom cozy (fits more than baby brezza)
Pump: spectra. Recommend going on Amazon to purchase additional parts, but also this can be covered by many insurances. I also have the momcozy hands free one.
Pumping bras: something relatively inexpensive from Amazon works for me.
Monitor: nanit
Bassinet: snoo
Pack and play: graco
Playmat: purple monkey mat. Lovevery play gym and play kits. Skipped swing.
Other: owlet dream sock, grownsy nasal aspirator
I got the basic Skip Hop backpack style that you see everywhere. Works great so far, holds a lot.
Infant car seat and stroller was also really hard for us to decide. We live in a suburban area, no plans to go running or off roading with our stroller haha. We got the Nuna TRVL LX and Nuna Pipa Air car seat. You can snap the car seat into the stroller, and the stroller goes almost flat so we used it for walks starting around 1 month old. Both stroller and car seat are incredibly light weight and easy to manage, 10/10 recommend.
Unfortunately not at the point of convertible car seat yet but looking into Evenflo revolve and Cybex Callisto
We also have this stroller. Along with a mixx next because where we live some of the roads are cobblestone. Plus the bassinet attachment
We wanted a heavy duty stroller that could be taken on grass/cobblestone, one that could be used for travel that was easy to fold and the safety of the pipa aire was very nice.
Purely a personal choice, as they are very similar.

I preferred the skydrape on the Aire over the Aria.
I like the rigid latch system on the Aire.
They also didn't have that lighter Ada color when we ordered 😮💨. We live in the desert, I do not want black or dark fabrics.
