A baby doesn't need many things during the first few weeks of life. I've come
up with a checklist to help the new moms out there and for the people
shopping for them. You can also take these items and make a new Mom
gift basket! Guaranteed to be a hit!
Clothing & Layette:
- 5-10 onesies or rompers depending upon how often you want to do laundry!
- 5-8 baby sleepers or nightgowns.
- 2 cold weather sleepers if necessary.
- 5-7 pairs of infant socks.
- 2-3 newborn hats, depending upon the climate.
Diapers & Bath Items:
- 2 packs of disposable diapers or clothe diapers for at least 2 days. Newborns can soil up to 10 diapers per day!
- 1 container of disposable wipes.
- 3-5 baby washcloths.
- 1-2 hooded towels.
- 1 bottle of gently baby wash and lotion.
- Baby nail clippers.
- Digital thermometer.
- Soft newborn hairbrush.
- 3-4 sheets for the crib, cradle or bassinet.
- 5-7 lightweight blankets.
- 1-2 heavier blankets depending upon the weather.
- 10 burp cloths.
- 5-8 bottles.
