You may be needing a receiving blanket for the baby when you check out of the hospital. Feeding bottles if your wife will not breastfeed. Sterilizer, feeding bottle brush for cleaning. Mittens, but if you decide not to use just make sure u check the baby's nails from time to time. Some hand towels made of soft cotton for wiping. Cottons, baby oil, mild baby soap, soft sponge, towel for bathing needs. Congratulations in advance!
