things I'll "need"

I'm really skeptical about this checklist I just found. Is it possible that a new mom "needs" all of these things? It makes me overwhelmed for many reasons: how will I pay for it all? where will I put it all? how do you even use some of these items, etc. I know I have family and friends who are already excited about a baby shower for me, how this is a LOT of stuff and I'm hoping some of you more experienced women can tell me what's NOT important to have/add to a baby registry.

The Checklist as per The Bump website:
Layette (what's a Layette?)

• 4-8 bodysuits or onesies (wide head openings and loose legs)

• 1-3 sweaters or jackets (front buttoned)

Changing (I removed change table because we just won't have the room)

• Diaper pail (do I need this if I'm using cloth diapers?)
  
• Diaper pail liners
• Diaper cream*
