I had a change table for Maddison & it was a PITA, took up too much room for very little use, as I changed her wherever I was at the time... So never got one with Indah & havent missed it!
A rocker I was given from work & Indah hated it, so it was brought out once or twice & has since been collapsed under her cot..
We use our HAB (after initially having been given a baby bjorn) we borrowed one off Melbel first & Indah loved it so i bought my own.. & Indah still likes being in there, although she loves sitting in her pram too (I got a 4 wheeler pram from Target reduced to $90 from last seasons colours) So keep you eyes out after seasons for prams, portacots , highchairs etc...
We were given a highchair & somehow we managed to get our old cot returned, nothing else though!
We still put Indah some nights in the baby bath it has a hose for draining & fits under our kitchen sink, she likes to sit up there & look at our dog out the window in the back yard, but usually she showers with me or baths with Maddy in the big bath... It was $24 from Kmart, the plug is so awesome & easy to drain..
We used cloth nappies from birth too..
So I'd add flannelette flats & snibs, but other than that I dont think you need all the big things...
once they are about 6ish wks I find a lay mat with hanging stuff over valuable when you need to cook, pee or just put baby down for 5 mins!!! hee hee
I got a cheap four wheel pram for about $150 and that's great for shopping and going to lunch with my mothers group!! I also love her mat with the hangy stuff (as Tracey said) was fabulous when she didn't move, and now the mat is just there for playing.
