Newborn Baby Essentials Checklist

The newborn basics I would want ready before baby comes home, without trying to buy every baby product ever made.

Sleep

Safe place to sleep
Crib, bassinet, or another approved sleep spot with a firm mattress and fitted sheet.
Extra sheets
Have a few because spit-up and diaper leaks do not wait for laundry day.
Swaddles or sleep sacks
A couple of easy ones in the right size and season.

Diapers

Newborn diapers
Start with some, but do not buy a mountain until you know what size and brand works.
Wipes and diaper cream
Keep these near the changing spot so you are not searching mid-change.
Diaper bag basics
Diapers, wipes, spare outfit, burp cloth, changing mat, and little bags for messes.

Feeding

Burp cloths
Put them everywhere you might feed the baby. You will use more than you think.
Bottle or nursing supplies
Bottles, formula, pump parts, nursing pads, or cream depending on how feeding is going.

Clothes and Care

Simple baby clothes
Onesies, sleepers, socks, hats, and a couple of warmer layers.
Tiny care kit
Thermometer, nail file, gentle wash, towels, and the pediatrician number.
Car seat ready
Install it before the due date so it is not a last-minute panic task.
