What to put together before baby comes home?

I have all this stuff and am not even sure what I can use right away...

Pack and Play
Swing
Bouncy seat
obviously I need the car seat and stroller, but what about the rest?

I aggree on the Bouncy seat. From the beginning that thing has been a LIFESAVER!!!

I would say Pack & Play too since it can have so many uses.

Definately Pack-n-play - we used it for naps, changing, etc. from the first day.
We used th bouncy seat and swing pretty soon after that.

I think you have the list -

Bassinet
Pack n Play
Baouncer
Swing
Car seat Installed
Stroller

Would all be most helpful. My baby came too early and I had none done so don't worry if you don't - it does all get done.

I have the car seat installed in the car, the pack and play set up, the bouncy seat, the stroller and the bassinet. I have yet to put the swing together...I'll probably do that today.

I would add crib to the list - you have about 3 months to get it together

I was in the same boat - Joseph's first changing table was a storage box. I had no furniture yet so I used the storage space at the bottom of a borrowed bassinet. In the end I realize the things you really need are a place to sleep, diapers and a car seat.

If you're really planning, you can make some dinners to freeze for the first few weeks.

Re: What to put together before baby comes home?

our bassinet is done and we just did the stroller tonight so the dogs can get used to it.

We might wait a bit for the pack n play---not sure where to put it yet

We put everything but the high chair together and used it all but the swing. We tested it out but she's still not a fan.
