@reekypear Crib - Just switched my baby to a crib at six months. Maybe be had a 20 lb weight limit and he hasn’t rolled front to back yet. How long baby is in it depends on the size+weight limit, and if they roll or sit up early. I imagine you are room sharing regardless though.. in which case go straight to crib.if it fits. The point is the bassinet is smaller, and can fit next to your bed.
Change table- You can change baby anywhere. But at least a couple times your newborn will pee or poop mid change and that ooop can spray pretty far. Choose location accordingly. I had a c section and there was no way I was getting down on the floor. I needed the higher surface. I did get my change table for like $30 second hand. One option is to pick one up cheap, and get rid of it when you no longer need it. It does store a lot of his stuff.
Nursing chair - My baby puked and we dribbled lots of milk all over my nursing chair. It’s also relatively firm and supportive (vs couch is lower, which is harder to get up off of holding a baby, recovering from childbirth or a c section) Comfort is important. So is not ruining a new live seat with baby puke and dribbled milk
Stroller- you need one that lays flat. You do not have to have a bassinet attachment if it reclines enough to lay flat for a newborn. The bassinet is nice, but not necessary. My city select city mini lays flat and works with my Graco car seat.
