baby safety blanket
what do i need for a new baby? lists please?

ok this is my third BUT i seem to be on a blank for some reason where my lists came so easliy with the first two but this one im ilke- oh ive probably got it already if i dnt remember it… the mind isnt working!!!

Anyway i have got a cot,moses basket, bedding, blankets,6bottle,2pacifiers, nappies/diapers,bibs,pushchair and tonnes upon tonnes of clothes (as i know its a girl) I know i still need to get a car seat and steriliser but have I missed anything?
I have a little one of 18 months so already have the baby safety things in order and bathing things

Cradle, bassinet, or crib: If you choose to have your baby sleep in your room at night, a cradle or bassinet is a nice option for the first few months. When the baby gets bigger, you will need to get a crib. When choosing a crib, make sure it meets the latest safety standards and that there are no more than 2 3/8 inches between the slats.
Crib mattress: Unfortunately, most cribs do not come with mattresses so you will need to purchase one. Pick out a mattress that has good back support, is not too soft, and meets all the fire-retardant regulations. Diaper Time: What You Need for the Changing Table
Diapers (plan on using 70-90 per week for the first six weeks, then 50 per week)
Disposable diaper wipes (alcohol-free)
Diaper rash ointment or cream (such as Desitin or A&D)
Rubbing alcohol to wipe around base of umbilical cord
Cotton swabs to apply rubbing alcohol
Petroleum jelly to apply on circumcision (so the baby’s penis doesn’t stick to the diaper)
Pad for baby to lie on during changing
Diaper pail to dispose of soiled diapers
Layette: Baby’s First Clothes
6 undershirts that snap on the bottom or tie on the side, commonly called “onesies” (3 in three-month size and 3 in six-month size)
3-4 infant gowns with elastic bottoms or draw strings. These make for easy diaper changes. All you have to do is pull the gown up over the belly to change the diaper and then pull it back down when finished. There is no stumbling around trying to snap the gown back together, which is especially nice when it’s 3 am and all you want to do is get baby back to sleep so that you can get back to sleep.
6 sleepers/stretch suits (3 newborn to three-month size and 3 in six-month size). These are nice to put baby in during the day, but are not essential items. When buying these, make sure you get the kind that zip up the front. These are easier to get baby in and out.
3-4 pairs of booties or socks with stretch elastic band at cuff
3-4 receiving blankets
1 blanket to cover swaddled baby in crib
1 sweater and hat
Bathing Baby: What You Need
Baby bathtub (sloping with foam pad or flat with molded sponge insert)
4 terry cloth bath towels (hooded towels are OK, but not necessary)
4-6 washcloths
Tearless shampoo
Baby soap. Many brands make baby shampoo and soap all in one.
Brush and comb
Rounded-tip nail scissors or clippers. Baby’s nails grow quickly and can scratch his or her face.
Bulb syringe nasal aspirator. These are used to suction excess mucus from baby’s nose and mouth (the one you receive in the hospital is a keeper!)
You may want to check with your baby’s doctor before the first bath. Some doctors recommend that you wait until the umbilical cord has fallen off and the circumcision site has healed before giving your baby a tub bath. In the meantime sponge baths work great.
12 nipples and covers
1 bottle and nipple brush for cleaning
Dishwasher basket for bottles and nipples (optional, but makes for easy cleaning)
Infant formula and measuring cup (if you are not breastfeeding). Use the brand recommended by your child’s doctor.
12 Burp cloths
6 Bibs
12 bottles. Even if you are breastfeeding, you should have bottles to use for pumped breast milk.

The Diaper Bag
When buying a diaper bag, pick one that has lots of pockets and places to store individual items. Also, keep in mind that your diaper bag often becomes your purse, so find one large enough to keep your wallet, keys, glasses, cell phone, and other items you need for yourself.

It’s a good idea to keep this bag packed with the following items at all times so if you need to leave the house in a hurry (especially if you have to take baby to the doctor unexpectedly), you’ll be ready:

5-6 diapers
Disposable wipes
Diaper rash cream or ointment
Pad to lie your baby on top of when changing the diaper
Plastic bags to wrap dirty diapers in until you can find a trashcan to throw them out
Change of clothes for baby: Infant onesies, a pair of socks, hat, baby outfit.
Blanket
2 clean bottles and powdered formula (if bottle feeding)
Burp cloth
Pacifier (if using)
Baby toy or rattle
Sunscreen for babies older than 6 months.
Baby Tylenol
Other Baby Essentials
Newborn-size pacifier: Many lactation consultants recommend not using a pacifier if you are breastfeeding to prevent nipple confusion in your baby.
Infant car seat: This can also be used as a baby carrier. And you can find stroller frames that the infant car seat can snap into so that you don’t have to carry the car seat at all times, which can get heavy. If you decide to get a stroller that your infant car seat can snap in to, make sure you get one that fits your infant carrier.
Breast pump for breastfeeding moms: Breast pumps allow you to pump milk so that someone else can feed your baby. This is important if you need to leave your baby for a significant amount of time (for example, if you are working). Breast pumps also come in handy w
