This newborn checklist printable covers the essentials for a new baby in six simple categories.
The Newborn Checklist Printable is a 4-page fillable PDF covering six categories: clothing, diapering, nursery, bath, on-the-go gear, and parent station.
Each section lists practical starting quantities so you can circle what you own, cross out what does not fit, and shop from the short remainder. Fill it in on your phone or print it for the fridge.
US Letter, no email required.
How to use the newborn checklist printable
Circle what you already own or have been given, then cross out what doesn’t fit your home or plans. Shop only for what is left. Newborns outgrow the smallest sizes fast, so buy just a few newborn-size outfits and more in the 0 to 3 month size.
Bring the list to baby showers so relatives can see what is still missing. Keep the list on the fridge once baby arrives, too, and use it to restock diapers and wipes. For safe sleep setup, follow the American Academy of Pediatrics safe sleep guide.
