What Baby Needs in the First Few Weeks

Home > Parenting Resources > Baby Care > What Baby Needs in the First Few Weeks

What does a baby really need in the first weeks at home? That answer is- not much. Some of the basic baby items , often called a layette, that a baby needs to have in the first weeks of life are:

5-10 onesies or rompers, depending on how often you want to do laundry

5-7 baby sleepers or nightgowns

1 cold weather sleeper if necessary

5-7 pairs of baby socks

1-2 newborn hats, depending on climate.

2 packs of disposable diapers or enough cloth diapers for at least two days. Newborns can soil up to 10 diapers per day.

1 pack of disposable wipes or 10 cloth wipes

Waterproof pad for diaper changes

3-5 baby washcloths

1-2 hooded towels, if desired.

5-8 bottles, if you’re bottle feeding

Breastfeeding pillow, if desired.

1 Bottle of gentle baby wash

Baby nail clippers

Digital thermometer

3-4 fitted sheets for crib, cradle, co-sleeper or bassinet

5-7 lightweight blankets

1-2 heavier blankets, depending on climate

10 burp cloths
