Must haves for bringing baby home?

I am a first time mom due in early Sept. What are the must have items for bringing baby home besides a coming home outfit, the carseat and a place for baby to sleep? I'm not having a shower so I assume we will get most gifts after the baby is born. I want to be prepared. TIA

After having every single baby thing imaginable, I learned that the only thing I NEEDED was baby. Lol. And a good carrier.

Helpful items:

Diapers- nb/size 1
Wipes
Cloth diapers as burp cloths
Carrier like a moby or ring sling
Bouncer or swing
Multiple changing table covers
Breast pump- if BFing
Bottles- variety

Crashing

In the beginning the only gear we really used
Infant carseat/ snap n go
F/P rock n play
Swing
Infant tub

If your ff you need bottles, bottles brushes, dye free soap, drying rack. If your bf a pump, breast pads, nipple cream, a boppy/or pillow

Clothing, onsies, pjs, and cute clothes if you're like me and get you're baby dressed everyday out of their pjs. Mittens for their hands. My girls love go be swaddled and we used the summer brand

Diapers, wipes, Vaseline, nail clipper, wash cloths, hooded towels, gentle baby wash, burp cloths

I would say MUST HAVES:
Place for Chat Icon to sleep:crib, bassinet,RnP, etc
Car Seat
Stroller or snap and go
Bath tub
Bouncer or Swing(life saver with DS)
Boppy or Breastfriend Pillow(especially if you're BF)
A few Bottles (in case BF doesn't work out)
A pack of onesies or undershirts, a couple of outfits, hat, mittens, receiving blankets or swaddle me, burp cloths, etc

FOR YOURSELF:
Sanitary Pads
Nursing Pads
Tucks
Lotion( your skin will be so dry; this may help)
Lanolin if breast feeding
Breast pump(may get it free or discounted through your insurance)
A squeeze bottle(hospital should have one)
Colace
Tylenol
