What to Have on Hand
- Diapers and wipes: Newborns go through 8-12 diapers a day!
- Feeding supplies: Bottles, formula (if not breastfeeding), and burp cloths.
- Clothing: Onesies, sleepers, and socks in newborn and 0-3 month sizes.
- Baby gear: A car seat, stroller, and bassinet or crib.
- Health items: Thermometer, nail clippers, and baby-safe laundry detergent.
Why It Helps
Having these essentials ready ensures you’re prepared for your baby’s needs and reduces last-minute trips to the store.
Pro Tip
Don’t overbuy newborn-sized clothes—babies grow quickly, and you may only need a few outfits in that size.
