Not necessary, but so so SO nice to have. It makes steaming and blending food so much easier than having to do it all with a cutting board, a blender, a pot and having to clean all of the big pieces after!

Yoofoss Baby Crib Sheets 2 Pack 28x52x8in
As a nanny, the baby monitor stays strapped to my side. I have a few favorites that I've worked with over the years but if you're looking for a good, simple, reliable option, this one is the best!

Nursery
Whatever crib you get will depend on your decor vibe for your nursery, but this one is super well reviewed and converts all the way to a twin bed!
Toddler Conversion Crib
A glider is such an important piece for your nursery so no matter which one you choose, make sure it's comfortable! I love that this one has a foot rest but it's also a rocking chair so you can be comfortable no matter what!
Nursery Swivel Glider Recliner, Rocking Chair
No room is quite so complete without an area rug, and the best part about this one is that it's washable!
Washable Rug
This nightlight is so popular for a reason! It's incredibly easy to use, the light is warm and low and so perfect for middle of the night diaper changes!

This bath is so good because it's incredibly easy to clean, small, and so reliable!

This sprayer is so unnecessary but is SO NICE TO HAVE. The first few baths are terrifying because you don't want to get water in your baby's eyes, and this gives you a good amount of control and peace of mind!

Just trust me on this one. Save your knees, your back, your elbows.
Baby Bath Kneeler & Elbow Rest Pad Set
Diapering
There are SO MANY options for diapers but if you're looking for something basic, simple, and cheap, you cannot do any better than Pampers!
