What Could Be Causing 10-Month Old to Have Congestion/runny Nose So Often?

What Do You Really NEED for a New Born?

We're trying to plan and be as prepared as necessary for our first born who is scheduled to arrive in Sept. We do not want to have lots of unnecessary "stuff". We are going to try for a family bed and see how it works, but should I have a back-up crib? Bassinet? Without being wasteful, what are the most important things to have as far as furniture and supplies for a new born? What would you recommend I buy new & what can I get second hand(craigslist has great baby/kid stuff)? Thanks for your time:)
