Our Everyday Newborn Essentials List

Mar 6

We have a lanky baby and found Target, Pure Baby, Rai & Co and Country Road fit him best. Honestly buy a few brands and see what suits your bub.

Enjoy yourself + get a few outfits for photos or outings - most things will however end up covered with bub swaddles or in milk or vomit 🙊
ZIPPY ONESIES - The studs will be the death of you during the night! Just get zippies! You want to make those nappy or outfit changes as efficient as possible because there are alot of them in the beginning.
DON'T GO OVERBOARD - it is true - babies grow quickly! Have a selection of sizes as a starting point and you can add to this once bub arrives + you know what size they are. Start with 6-10x onesies + bodysuits (depending on weather) or both in winter, a few pairs of socks, sun hat or beanie + mits.

BABY SLEEPING BAGS: All babies are different - I would either get 1 Love to Dream - arms up - 1 ergo cocoon and see which the bubba prefers. This was one of the most stressful things for me - getting bubs temperature right + but these are so helpful!

Bassinet - (we have been so lucky to have borrowed our besties SNOO - It has been amazing + we are so grateful)

Night Light (We have Fravita)

White Noise Machine (we use the Snoo but have just purchased Euky Bear Sweet Dreams Sleep Aid for his room)

Change Mat On Top Of Drawers: Everyone loves Leander Matty

TOP DRAWER FOR BABY:

1. Nappies

2. Water Wipes (in a wipes dispenser - makes life so much easier)

3. nappy bags - ones that are easy to access 1 at a time haha

4. Bepanthen Nappy Rash Cream

5.We used little square clothes at change time for a boy baby to stop the sprinkler

6. Zip up Full length onesies x3-4, long sleeve body suits x2-3, short sleeve body suit x2, couple pairs of socks,

7.Burp cloths x4-5 eg: soft bamboo cloth nappies

8. A couple wraps (we loved jersey wraps - Target or Snuggle Hunny)

9. Spare Bassinet sheet - Target - Snuggle Hunny

10. Spare Sleeping bag

Pram - We love Uppababy Vista V2 - literally no complains+ the basket is big enough for some groceries. + a portable white noise

Shnuggle Baby Bath + a Hooded Bath Towel
Baby Carriers (I would suggest waiting + borrow a couple from friends to trial to see what you actually prefer) We love our Moby that we were gifted for around home + will get an ErgoBaby for walks.
Pram Blanket get 2 different ones (1 wool + 1 a little lighter weight) For winter Bundl Baby Wool Wrap.
Electric Nail file -baby nails grow so quickly we use ours minimum once per week (sometimes every 4 days)
Play Mat - We have been gifted some beautiful handmade rugs which we use for tummy time + play time
Books - I definitely underestimated how many books we would read per day! Mesmerised Black + White Books & we are just going through Disney Classics + Some Soft Books
Toys - Just a few rattles + Teethers they can start to hold, & we were gifted a cute music carousel + George loves this for nappy change time. PLUS a Play stand/ gym of some sort that bub can lie under with little animals or things attached they can look at.
Baby Rocker/Mamaroo or Dockadot to pop bubs in when you want to get stuff done or run to the loo etc...
