Welcoming a newborn is a beautiful moment, but the endless list of items to buy for your baby can feel completely overwhelming, especially for a first-time mum. There’s usually the pressure to buy everything but remember, you do not need to buy every item or gadget on the market.
Our downloadable checklist break down the absolute essentials to include in your newborn’s baby shopping list for their first few months from feeding essentials to clothes, breastfeeding support, sleeping, play, bathing, and traveling.
First-time mum tip: For clothes, don’t overbuy newborn sizes because babies at that stage grow incredibly fast and will likely overgrow them in a few months.
You’ve Got This, Mama!
Preparing for a baby is a huge milestone, and it is completely normal to feel a bit overwhelmed. For the baby shopping list, just take it one category at a time and remember, your baby mostly just needs you.
This checklist is just the beginning. At Malaica Maternity Hospital, we support pregnant and newborn mums to navigate motherhood with less guesswork. You get access to an online community of mamas like you sharing tips and reassuring you, a 24/7 midwife hotline for those times you’re not sure whether your baby’s discomfort is normal or needs medical attention, and a virtual psychologist for your mental well being.
