THE NEWBORN BABY CHECKLIST

Having a baby? Get your hospital bag ready to go with all your essentials

Packing your hospital bag is an exciting moment for every parent. I remember doing mine. I must have been suffering from extreme pregnancy brain because I managed to forget baby clothes and diapers. Handily, I’ve made a mini checklist of the baby essentials you’ll need so you don’t make the same mistake.
- Bodysuits. Pure cotton with nickel-free poppers to protect your newborn’s delicate skin.
- Hat, booties, cardigan and blanket to keep your little one cosy on the journey home.
- Just add diapers, wipes and muslins and you’re good to go.
