Newborn Baby Clothing Checklist
We've created a newborn baby clothing checklist for your little ones first wardrobe to guide you through the gorgeous world of dressing your baby in those first few months.
We've preselected our favourite styles for you. Toggle off to start fresh.
Singlets
The first place to start is always a singlet, as it is an essential piece when layering. We recommend 4-6.
Growsuits
Your baby will likely live in growsuits for the first few months of their life. We recommend at least 4 growsuits.
Bodysuits
We recommend two bodysuits to layer your little one, and keep their torso covered.
Cardigans
Soft cotton cardigans are an essential layering piece, it’s a great idea to take one wherever you go! A jumper is another super sweet alternative - we recommend a combination of 4
Leggings or Pants
To pair with your tops, bodysuits and cardigans, it is a great idea to have 2 pairs leggings or pants handy to complete a dressier outfit.
Hats or Beanies
Hats are an essential item for babies, as they are born with an open fontanelle where heat can easily escape. We recommend 3 hats.
Booties & Mittens
Booties and mittens are great if your growsuit or outfit doesn’t have enclosed feet or built in mittens. We recommend 3 of each.
Bibs
Bibs are often associated with a baby starting solids, however they’re great to use from birth to assist in wiping up any spills while feeding. We recommend 2.
Muslin Wraps and Bunny Rugs
An essential for swaddling, we recommend a combination of 2 muslin wraps or bunny rugs.
Blankets
Baby blankets are great for the sleep space, the pram or out and about. We recommend 2.
Hooded Towels
It’s important to have 3 hooded towels. One in use, one in the wash and another away ready to use as backup!
Soft Toys or Comforters
Look to purchase 2 soft toys or comforters. Ensure you have a backup of your little one’s favourite toy in case it is in the wash or misplaced!
