8. Clothing
You'll need at least a few outfits (plus socks, hats and mittens) to keep your baby warm or cool but don't splurge on newborn clothes because your baby will grow very quickly.
9. Baby-Proofing and Monitors
As baby grows he'll start getting into everything. Baby Proof your home with electrical point plugs, safety gates, cupboard locks, blind cord wind-ups and more.

10. Baby Care Kit and Medical Supply
Make sure your medicine cabinet is stocked for baby emergencies. Include a reliable nasal aspirator, digital thermometer, teething gel, infant's non-aspirin liquid pain relief, sunscreen, and children's strength liquid decongestant.
One final medical necessity for parents is first aid training. Learning how to save your babies life in an emergency is vital.
