Decision guide

What to buy before baby arrives

Focus on the first two weeks, not every product on the internet.

A calmer plan

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

Must-haves

Safe sleep, car seat, nappies, wipes, feeding basics, clothes, and a thermometer.

Nice-to-haves

Baby carrier, extra swaddles, bottle warmer, changing station, and stroller accessories.

Wait and see

Avoid overbuying gadgets until you know your baby and routine.
