Simon Sarris had a tweet where he asked for advice for young parents, and he got hundreds of responses.
@bitemyapp also did a similar thing a week or two ago IIRC

I remembered some more stuff, which ou probably already have planned: - a bath tub for the baby (we had one on a dedicated stand, we no longer use the stand but the tub is still the same) - a bed with a good mattress - probably best to have a bed with adjustable mattress position

- Research baby strollers! We ended up buying two: one more comfortable for the baby, but heavier. And another, much lighter, just for the walks. Easier for my wife to carry.

- Do you have a car? If so, think about the child safety seat for the baby. The seat should be fitted to the car. I prefer the seats locked with Isofix to those which use only seat belts.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isofix

If you don't have a car, think about how you will bring the baby home. We asked friends to drive us home and used a borrowed child safety seat appropriate for newborns.

Baby formula - the best case scenario is that you will not need it. I think breastfeeding is better. they told us that if you plan to breastfeed, it's better to avoid using baby formula.

On the other hand, if you expect supply chain disruption, consider buying some baby formula just in case. If you don't need it, you can always resell it or donate it to charities, etc. (Unless it's opened.)

Also - don't be mad at me for this please - maybe think about your recreational substance policy. We don't use any besides occassional wine / beer. Our home policy is that an adult who can safely drive a car must be present at all times.

Just remembered: car safety seats have crash-test ratings. Maybe look at them if you have time. We didn't research it too deeply, we bought at a place which I think has very high standards and we mostly deferred to their judgment. Also our friends chose v similar model.
