Don't wait for “last-two” minutes to complete the things you need before delivering a baby. Based on my mom-to-be experience, I seldom went to malls after I gave birth to my unica hija.  So it is convenient to prepare all the things you need.  Here's the checklist:

• Baby Powder - I use Johnson Mild baby powder. I apply it moderately all over her body to make her feel refresh. I often apply this when she is sweating.

• Diaper - I prefer Pampers more than any other diaper brands. The design is very comfy as well as my baby’s comfortable too.

•  Alcohol - I use Green Cross 70% solution. I pat gently with  cotton balls to clean her umbilical cord and navel. I suggest not to tie your baby's umbilical cord for fast drying. The stump will just fall off about 2 weeks.

•  Petroleum Jelly -- I apply small amount of this oil around baby's butt to prevent diaper rashes.

• Baby Oil -  After bath, I gently massage her cradle cap with Johnsons baby oil. I also use soft hairbrush to loosen the flakes. Her cradles started to show about 5 days since birth. Do no attempt to scratch to avoid rashes and infection. This will disappear in due time.

• Wipes - I don't use specific brand for this. Wipe is used when my baby poops. However, I wash her butt with running water when at home. I usually use it during our travel.

• Baby Lotion - Johnsons baby lotion helps moisturize my baby’s skin. I apply this every after bath. My baby smells fresh and kissable, of course!

• Liniment Oil - Don't you ever forget to include Manzanilla in your baby kit. Mostly, babies are prone to gas pain. I have this ready all the time in case of gas pain discomfort. Before sleeping, I rub gently a generous amount of Manzanilla to my baby's delicate tummy and head. Why I chose Manzanilla more than any other brands like Efficascent?, simply it has mild menthol content.

• Baby Bath- Aside from Johnsons baby bath, I use Lactacyd as an option. It is good to use for prickly heat and diaper rash.

• Cotton Buds - I remove ear wax from her outer ear not in the inner ear to avoid infections.

• Nail Clippers (for baby) - My baby finger nails grow fast, I carefully cut her nails.

Beddings:

• Crib - It is the most important thing for me, I feel at ease when my baby was put in a crib when I have to do other household chores.
• Mattress
• Two infant Pillows
• Mosquito Net
• Pillow Cases

Traveling Accessories

•     Baby Carrier
•     Baby Bags with Many Compartments for bottles, etc
•     Blankets (ones with the hood in the corner)
•     Extra Clothes
•     Powder, cologne, and infant's milk

Feedings

• I have at least 5 bottle-fed of different sizes. The smallest which is 2-ounce/60ml of bottle was used when my baby was a week old; 4-ounce/120ml of bottle from 1mos.-3mos. and increased in ounce, as she gets older.
•  Baby plates, cups, and spoons are provided when she started to eat solid foods and drink water on her own.

Bathing Needs

• Baby towels - I have bought two, smaller towels for her.
• Small basins
• Sponge or wash cloth - Choose a smooth cloth to ensure that the baby's skin will remain soft and smooth avoiding irritation.
• Toiletries –Use baby soap or top to toe wash, baby powder with powder puff case, cotton swabs, baby oil, alcohol, hair brush, nail clipper, etc.
• A soft-bristled hairbrush 

Clothing

• Tie Side-Shirts
• Pajamas
• Mittens
• Bibs
• Socks
• Cap

My newborn baby sleeping pattern especially at early weeks was very odd. She slept as much as 16-18 hours at daytime and stayed awake more for the rest of the night which interrupted my sleep. It was very rare if she slept a lot at night. I tell you, this kind of stage was the most sacrificial time I've ever encountered.

According to the research about newborns sleep, babies don't know the difference between day and night yet — and their tiny stomachs don't hold enough breast milk or formula to keep them satisfied for very long. They need food every few hours, no matter what time of day or night it is.(source: http://kidshealth.org/parent/growth/sleep/sleepnewborn.html)
