Hi, I don't actually have any practical advice to offer as I am expecting and due in June. But I want to comment that I learned some good advice from this thread. As a result, I am not getting the bottle warmer as I intended to do after hearing what everyone said.
Being first time parents, we went out and got everything that is on the Geobaby new born list. Both my husband and I were obsessive shoppers. All the things we brought are collecting dust now until the baby's arrival now.
We got both our cot and changing table from Ikea. The nice ones. The changing table has an extension piece you can put on to make the changing surface wider and is double as a chest of drawer. The cot can be make into a toddler's bed.
Stroller, we got the Orbit system from Mothercare in Ocean Terminal. My husband love the Orbit, but I can't tell you be how practical it is until we use it. Other parents in the States love it. For Hongkong I think it would be too bulky.
We also have a baby carrier, combi, can carry the baby in five positions.
Bottle sterilizer--Advent.
Bottles-- Bfree
Regarding clothing, I did hear that hospital encourage you to dress the baby in baby robe, or "monk suit" which makes it easy for changing diapers.
Happy shopping and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.

Unless you have a car, and even if you do, I'm pretty sure that you will find a stroller essential--especially if you end up with a larger baby and by 4 months you may not want to lug the baby around in a sling. I have problems with my back that mean that using a sling at all was a no-go but I didn't know that until after my son was born. I would invest in a stroller for sure--especially in Hong Kong.
As far as baby bath tubs go--you can go to a local HK store and buy a cheap one for like 50 HKD or less--especially since you won't be using it here for long.
