New Baby Checklist
It’s hard to imagine that such a tiny little person could need so many things! Use this checklist to make sure you
get everything your baby needs.
NURSERY
Bassinet or crib and
crib mattress
Snug-tting crib sheets
Waterproof crib mattress pads
Soft, light receiving blankets
Heavier blankets for cold
weather babies
FEEDING
Burp cloths (cloth diapers work
great)
Bibs
Breast pump (ask us about
breast pump sales and rentals
at your next appointment)
Breast milk storage bags
Bottles and nipples
Formula (if you’re not planning
to breastfeed)
DIAPERING
Diapers (lots of them — your
baby will go through 10 to 12
each day)
Alcohol-free baby wipes
Diaper rash ointment
or powder
Changing table or dresser
Changing pads and covers
CLOTHING
One-piece outts that snap
or zip down in the front
Sleep sacks or blanket sleepers
Undershirts or onesies that
snap at the crotch
Hats (1 brimmed for sun
protection, 1 soft to keep
baby’s head warm)
Socks or booties
Mittens (for preventing
scratches and keeping cold
weather babies warm)
Tip: Your baby will outgrow
newborn clothing really fast,
so shop for a range of sizes.
