Here are some furniture that really necessary to buy;

For sleeping. There are several options to choose baby bed such as a cradle, a bassinet a crib, or a convertible crib. The best solution is a convertible crib although it’s a little more expensive to start with. And if your baby gets older it takes only some additional tools to convert the crib to a toddler bed.

You will need some fitted sheets to cover the mattress and some baby blankets. You have to keep the baby's bedding clean and make baby comfortable.

A changing table use to put everything you need for changing or cleaning baby right at hand, convenient and will help spare your back. Some changing table even has a little integrated bathtub, which can be tucked away when not needed or be changed into a toy shelf. But if you don’t have space to place a changing table in the baby’s room, you can change the babies on the bed.

A dresser is useful for put away all of baby’s clothes. The dressers are available in all style and price. But you could repaint the old dresser.

A toy chest. In choosing a toy chest the only concern is to ensure that it is fitted with a closing system that is safe for little fingers.
