I loved knowing the exact room temp and humidity, it helped me feel confident I had dressed the boys correctly for sleep and I figured out that 60% humidity was ideal for both the boys in the newborn phase (their little noses get dry very easily)
Red light bedroom clock
Helps with sanity / keeping a rhythm once you have one. (I always changed the boys diapers once between 12-3am) This one has a “dim” mode which is great to keep the room dark

crib mattress
I highly recommend 1. it’s brethe thru so you have ZERO SIDS paranoia if your baby likes to tummy sleep. or like at all, I was sooooo worried with True I wish I had this when he was a new born 2. you dont need a waterproof cover because you can just hose down the whole mattress. Both our boys have this mattress and i love it. I got mine on ebay for 20-40% off
Noise canceling headphones
you dont need expensive ones but it’s nice if you have a screamer
