Newborn Essentials Checklist- budget

Edit on 30 Aug 2015 in blue.

I am getting anxious as my EDD is closer and I have just start preparing for baby stuff. Here are some newborn essentials checklist which you might find useful. It does not include outdoor items like pram, car seat etc.

Clothes
Handkerchief (Danrol)
Mittens & Booties   
Short Sleeve Shirts and Pants- 6sets
Pyjamas- 2 sets
Rompers (it can be quite challenging for NB to put on Rompers, would recommend when they are bigger once their neck are stronger)
Parenting hack
Cap (bought from Taobao), here's the link

Bathing
Baby Shampoo (Kodomos)
Baby Bath (Kodomos). I use Sebamed Bubble Bath when my baby had flaking skin
Brush & Comb set (Pigeon)
Infant Nail scissors (Pigeon)- the salesperson recommend that newborn cannot use nail clipper, I nearly made a blunder.
2 small bowls (for cleaning eyes and buttock)
Bath Sponge (NUK) Wash Cloth is good enough, bath sponge is too coarse for baby's delicate skin

Bamboo Towels (Moo Moo Kow)
Laundry Detergent (Pureen/ Kodomos). Get the powder form as it make clothes smell nicer
Changing Pad (Moo Moo Kow) 
Bath tub (non-slip)- Ikea

Breastfeeding
Breast Pump (Spectra S2+)
Breast Pads (Pigeon Honeycomb)
Nipple Cream (Medela/ Lasinoh)
Breast milk Storage Bags (PUR)
Feeding bottles 4-6 
Nursing bib

Everyday
Steam Sterilizer (Pigeon Rapid Steam Sterilizer)
Bottle Warmer (Pigeon)
Bottle Sponge Brush (Puku)
Bottle Cleaner (Pureen)
Diaper (Huggies/ MamyPoko). I got a few packs of KCA initially coz it was cheap. However, the fit is not good and usually leaks.
Diaper Cream (Desitin Blue)
Baby Wipes (Organic Story EcoForest)
Cotton Wool Ball (Pigeon/ Mothercare as the size is bigger)  Get Watson Facial cotton, it's cheap and good.
Cotton Swab regular (Daiso) and thin size (Pigeon)
Cooling Plaster (Pigeon)

Sleeping
Blanket (Danrol)
Swaddle (Summer Time)
Bean Pillow (Puku)
Play Pen- passed down from my SIL
Mattress Cover (Baby Safe). I have read online that it is essential to get a new mattress for each baby as there are unknown reasons for cot death. It will also give you peace of mind.
Pillow (baby does not need pillow)
Waterproof Mattress Protector (ordered from Taobao), here's the link

Hope you find the list useful.

Love,
