What do I need to buy for my newborn?

You (finally) fall pregnant, you book all the appointments, attend all the classes, read all the educational birth-breastfeeding-baby-postpartum content you can get your hands on and then you realise you probably need to get organised with buying some things! If you are anything like me you may not know ANY baby brands or where to even start. Google can send you mad if you enter 'what do I need to buy for my newborn'? There are many lists available. Did you know, most products have paid to be on those lists?

Some will say "a new baby doesn't need much at all..." while this may be true there are also some amazing products out there that can make your life and transition to parenthood a lot easier!

I (Daisy) asked Elle (and some other helpful friends) to help me put together a list of items I may want to consider purchasing before the baby's arrival. 

By no means are the below items all necessary - but they are good checklist to work from and it may help you discover products you had not before seen or heard of.

So other than our number 1 tip of stocking your freezer full of wholesome meals, please see our list below to help you get prepared. 

We have a separate hospital bag list HERE

We have left clothes and toys off this list, as they are some of fun things to discover yourself, you may also be lucky to receive lots of hand-me-downs as we have!

Our Newborn Checklist

  • Soft Change Mat (add a cute soft washable cover)
  • Newborn Nappies we are trying these, recommended as a super soft nappy and price match to bigger brands 
  • BabyU dry wipes, BabyU nappy bags, Water wipes
  • Nappy Cream, Shampoo, Body Wash and Lotion (without edible oils)

  • Baby Blankets
  • Drool Bibs
  • Muslin Swaddles
  • Burping Clothes
  • Small Terry Towelling Nappies (to use for everything)
  • Wash Clothes

We have created a useful list on Amazon of some of our recommended products on this list.

We hope you found this list helpful - save for later or send to a pregnant friend!
