The sleepsack was sonething I always used, at least 2 because its for safe sleep. I preferred the swaddle me sack kind so you can swaddle as needed a fussy baby.  Definitely diaper cream.

I was in the same situation when I had my son in January. I got a caraway from the hospital I had a couple of outfits, burp clothes (cloth diapers work just as well) and a few blankets. You'll do fine, look up places that give stuff for baby's and kids. Good luck, you will be in my prayers.

Contact WIC and get signed up ASAP.  While you are there, ask about programs in your community. There are organizations that can help you get a car seat and other items.
You can do with out a crib for a few months if you can find a pack n play or bassinet. Find a second hand store or consignment shop near you. You can find outfits, blankets and more for very little money. We've bought outfits for 50c to $1.  Hit yard sales and Craigslist.
The only thing baby really needs for now are diapers, a handful of outifts, carseat, place to sleep, blankets for when you are out and burp cloths.

Talk to the people at the hospital when you have the baby they will let you know of different organizations or churches in the community. They may have different charities for things that you don't have. You need some onesies, diapers blankets and hats or caps. Wic is a great place especially if you aren't breastfeeding. Good luck you'll get through it.

I'd definitely check into WIC, and I'm sure there are some organizations in your area where you can find new or slightly used baby clothes, toys, and maybe even a crib or bassinet. I'm sorry you're going through this :(.

Sign up for Wic and try to find out what kind of organizations you have in your area that could help with providing you with a crib and clothing for your baby.

Crib, diapers, outfits at least 2 per day ( in case there's a blow out). If you bf, don't worry about both less and formulas
