Things I might have said have been pretty much covered by everyone else... Except lanolin or other creams for your breasts. They can get sore and chapped.

You won't need a high chair for a while, but when you do, they now make chairs that can disassemble and go in the dishwasher.

As far as cloth versus disposables, I'd say use both. Cloth for at home, disposables when you're going out. But only do cloth if you have a service. Cloth daipers make wonderful cleaning cloths as well: we still have a bunch in the house, and my youngest just turned eight. In fact, my local diaper service sells diapers that have been "retired" for just that purpose. My kids seemed to get fewer rashes from the cloth ones, even though they got changed just as frequently. Oh, and whatever type you go with, get a really good diaper hamper. If you go with disposables, don't bother with a Diaper Genie: plastic bags from the market work just as well.

A loved having a rocking chair while nursing.
