Checklist For Baby Gear

Here is a list of things you need of baby equipment for your newborn. You can buy almost all of this equipment used.

When the baby is born, many parents do not have the full overview for what they need for their baby. So we've put together a shopping list checklist that includes everything you need to see you through the first six weeks.

Remember that only two things you need to buy new is the car seat and the baby's mattress. Everything else - clothes, travel system, baby bath, etc. - all can be borrowed or bought up at a local NCT sale. And do not forget to write a wish list. Friends and family will shower you with gifts galore then steer them gently (but good!) towards what you really need.

Sites that Raising Kids, Think Baby, and Baby World has lots of advice and product reviews so before you splash out do your research!

And when you're ready to hit the stores makes life easier by doing it online. Our favorite stores like John Lewis, Mamas and Papas and Daisy and Tom have all the good sites with good customer service and return policies.
