A Newborn Checklist is great because you can list everything that you need from basic to modern baby accessories.


There are so many things that you can buy for a baby, especially a first child, that it can be confusing.
From furniture to feeding items such as bibs, bottles, clothing etc., You may find this newborn checklist useful.

The list includes:

Clothes

Change table items

Bathtime

Bedtime

For mom items

General and first aid

Feeding

Out & about

Nappy bag

Useful travel items

Do keep in mind that people are often incredibly generous when a baby is born, so you may end up with multiple items.
Consider using this as a newborn checklist for registries, so you can let people know what you need.


You may decide to do without some specialized items such as a bottle warmer, sterilization equipment, or nappy disposal system.
They may seem unnecessary, but they are all very handy. Feeding and nappy changing goes on for about 2 years.



Babies are born in a variety of sizes and then grow at an amazing rate, so you may want to start buying the larger sizes as
they don't tend to stay in the tiny sizes for very long.
