    I would say:

    1/ Baby bath as Kaitlyn was using our bath by 4 weeks
    2/ Baby monitor ....unless you have a big house and you plan on spending lots of time at the end of your yard away from the house you will hear you little one crying out for you.
    3/...thats it actually

    One thing that I REALLY used and only got when Kaitlyn was two months and could have had from earlier on was a bouncer for her to lay in ..really helped if I needed to do something and she was up. She still sits in it if I am DESPERATE and need to have a shower...she is getting WAY to big for it but if I need to keep her in one place it works hehe. I also got a change table with the compartments below and that was good as I keep all her "spew rags" , nappies and other bits and pieces under there for easy access!.

    Good thread! Wish I'd read this before...

    1) Yeap a baby bath. Waste of money!The sink/big bath option is easiest I think anyway
    2) A change table/mat - just use the bed (if they are too young to roll off) or floor
    3) One of those nappy bins (forgotten the name, but they seal the nappies like a big sausage), although I did use this a fair bit in the early days, and when #2 arrives I might use it again in the new house when we will be downstairs mostly during the day.
