With the exception of a car seat and a stroller, I wouldn't buy anything new. Buy a good stroller though. Spend money on the superior breast pump too.

We were handed down one of these and it's the best thing ever.
Has like 10 different songs, 4 different rocker modes, even auto detects the baby crying and changes settings.
Our son loves it and it has been a lifesaver for us to put him down and get things done with 2 arms free.
He can be in it for hours if we'd let him.
But his cousin who we got it from didn't take to it at all.
I don't even know how much it must have cost but was pretty useless for them.
So part of the money waste in all this is not every baby will like the same stuff and than they outgrow as you mentioned.
But for us lucky 2nd handers, it's probably my favorite baby item we have.
