Newborn Shopping List

Newborns need less equipment than marketing suggests. Buy the first layer, then learn what genuinely helps your baby and home.

Start with the basics

• A small rotation of weather-appropriate clothes.
• Nappies, changing supplies and washable cloths.
• A safe sleep space and suitable bedding.
• Feeding essentials for your planned approach.

Avoid buying too many newborn sizes or one diaper brand before you know the fit.
