Decision guide

What not to buy for newborns

Save space and money by skipping items you may not need right away.

A calmer plan

Use this as a starting point, then make it fit your birth, home, and support system.

Too many clothes

Babies grow quickly. Start small and add sizes later.

Too many gadgets

Wait until you know your actual feeding, sleep, and travel routine.

Duplicate big items

Borrow or test where possible before buying expensive extras.
