Baby Shopping List (232 KB)
You might not need or want all the items listed. You also can add items not listed here. Ask moms you know about the items they couldn’t live without and the items they never used.
Some items you will want to purchase new. But keep in mind that babies outgrow clothing and supplies quickly. So, you may want to borrow many of these items or use hand-me-downs. Just be sure to check out product safety and recall information.
