Shopping time for baby stuff

I'm been looking around and feeling rather overwhelmed with all the baby stuff out there. Man there's so much choices, in a way its good (spoiled for choices) but on the other hand too many to choose from, not too sure where to begin. I guess the most important is to make a checklist of important stuff and start from there.

We went shopping around and found this shop in Hartamas Shopping called Bebehaus, the guy was really friendly and helped us understand lots of things from strollers, car seats to milk making tea (for breast feeding). We learned a lot and found him very helpful.
