We started off with this Dr. Browns set, the 2 Spectra bottles that came with my pump, and a few (4) Avent bottles that came in the free Target baby bag. While on maternity leave I washed bottles every nap and prepped for the next feeding. It sucked - but I was also trying to pump and breastfeed (failed) so it took 5 bottles for every feed (this lasted one month). Once I went entirely to formula at 4 weeks postpartum and figured out that my son preferred Dr. Browns, we ditched all of the other bottles and bought 10 more of the 4 oz bottles (so 12 total with the 2 that came in the kit). These were hand washed every night and prepped for the next day. Once I went back to work we graduated to the 8 oz bottles (at 3.5 months postpartum). I now have around 25 of those. This is a 2 day supply, plus enough bottles for my car emergency stash, my husband's truck emergency stash, earthquake bag stash, and daycare emergency stash (which you'll want to have if your kid ends up being EFF). We load the dishwasher every night with the day's wares and run it every 2 days.
This is pretty individualized, though. Depends on how often you want to wash bottles, and how often kiddo feeds. My son has major spit-up issues and can't eat more than 6oz at a time or else it ends up coming back out, so he eats smaller quantities more frequently than, say, a baby that'll eat 8 or 10oz in one feed - which obviously requires more bottles if we're not washing right away. Again, this is something you learn as you go.
We actually only have 2 crib sheets. My son is 11 months old and has never had a diaper related accident in his crib (which he's been sleeping in since he was around 2.5 months old). I strip his crib and wash with his clothes on the weekends (usually only ever takes one full load). Some babies require more crib sheets - I'm sure he will eventually, too, but I think having two to start out with will do you just fine. Especially if baby is sleeping elsewhere in the beginning.
