When DS was little I couldn't have lived without his bouncer, it was a god send to be able to put him in that while I went and put his nappy in the bin or whatever...
I found the baby bath a bit of a pain, in the early days (he was a winter baby) we only bathed him every 2/3 days, never used any soap, occasionally put some grape seed oil for his dry skin. He grew out of the baby bath and we now currently bath him in a big bucket cause of water use.

Things I was able to live without, I was lucky and given heaps of clothes, really nice outfits like shirts and pants etc... but they were a major pain for me to put on a little baby so I mainly dressed him in those all in one bon suit type things they were great. I would pick out the nice outfit if we were going somewhere special.
