When & what items do I need to get ready for first baby?

Hello Mummies & Mummies-to-be, Currently expecting at 16 weeks and am wondering what items do I need to prep before the EDD draws closer? Also what are the important things that are necessary to buy as well. I still feel that is very early to be purchasing things. Would like some recommendations for breast pumps as well! Haha please help a first time mom out 😅 Thank you in advance!#firsttimemom #advicepls #firstbaby #firstmom

Fun fact my first born breast pump is from Philip Avent and my second born breast pump from Shopee. I choose what suits me best and comfortability. I prep at 36 weeks for both pregnancy. I had my checklist like things to purchase, my hospital bag, baby's necessities. Hospital Bag : - Toiletries - Towel (in case you don't like hospital towel) - Sweater/Cardigan - Small/Support pillow - Power Bank - Home clothes (my own) - Home clothes (baby's like swaddle, mittens, sleepsuit/rompers/caps) - Disposable undies/pad (will be provided in the hospital) Baby's prep : - Baby cot with bassinet - Pillow/Bolster/Blanket (up to you) - Diaper changing mat - Diaper - Wipes - Diaper rash cream - Moisturiser / Lotion - Cotton wool/bud - Baby rocker - Baby tub - Toiletries - Baby balm/oil - Medical needs (thermometer,etc) - Sleepsuit - Summer rompers - Short sleeve rompers - Mittens/Booties/Caps - Swaddle - Milk Bottle - Pacifier - Hot/Warm water flask - Sterilizer - Milk warmer - Milk powder holder Other than ill add on along the way when needed. I will omit whats not important too.
