was honestly the best money I ever spent where breast feeding was concerned. I used this for several months and will definitely use it again with this baby. It's much better than the Boppy, as you don't have to worry about it sliding away or baby rolling between you and the pillow. It's AWESOME!!
You'll want receiving blankets, as most babies prefer to be swaddled most of the time. A few onesies, socks, gowns and maybe a couple of sleepers. DD stayed in gowns for the first few weeks, just because they made diaper changes SO easy. Plus, when they're that little, they won't keep their legs in the sleeper legs anyway...they want to be balled up...lol.
Cloth diapers, as they come in handy for EVERYTHING! We used them as burp clothes and everything else.
A couple of hooded baby towels and wash clothes for baths.
Other than that, it sounds like you have gotten some pretty good suggestions to go along with your list, which has most of the essentials already. Good luck to you and I hope you have everything you need to make your first few days/weeks as easy as possible.
