Aww first time mama, exciting! Here are the real essentials na kailangan mo talaga: good quality diapers (lagi kaming nag-stock ng two brands para backup), swaddles or receiving blankets, basic onesies in newborn at 0-3 months sizes, a safe sleep space like a bassinet or crib, feeding supplies (bottles if you're formula feeding or expressing, or just comfortable nursing bras kung breastfeeding), and soft washcloths para sa baby's sensitive skin. A few of us moms also swear by having a good diaper pail, mild baby wash, and honestly parang essential din ang patience kasi walang book na magsasabi kung ano talaga ang kailangan nyo haha, bawat baby is different, so don't feel pressured to buy everything right away!
