Quick answers
Frequently asked questions
What do I need for a newborn?
Start with the basics: a safe place to sleep, diapers and wipes, feeding supplies, a few outfits and an installed car seat. Our checklist above covers the rest.
How many newborn diapers do I need?
Newborns often use 8-12 diapers a day. Many families stock one or two packs of newborn size and more of size 1, since babies grow quickly. Our guide breaks it down.
When should I pack my hospital bag?
Many parents pack around 35-36 weeks so it's ready if baby arrives early.
