Make your own list of items for the newborn based on the estimated weight of the baby, your living conditions and habits. Whatever the level of your income, try to make the best choice. Do not succumb to the whims of a pregnant woman, buying up a dozen caps for each sliders. At the same time, in order to save money, it is not worth depriving a child, for example, of his own crib.

Instructions
Step 1
Regardless of the time of year in which the baby is born, you need to purchase a minimum set of clothes of size 50-56 (44-50 - for premature babies):
• 2 cotton pajamas;
• 2 bodysuits with short sleeves and 2 with long sleeves;
• 2 pairs of cotton socks;
• 1 woolen socks;
• 2 thin caps;
• thin knitted blouse;
• the envelope;
For the cold season, supplement the list with overalls (autumn or winter), a warm hat, insulated booties, fleece overalls.
Step 2
You will need hygiene products and some medications already in the maternity hospital:
• 5 knitted and 5 flannel diapers;
• diapers;
• cotton pads or swabs, cotton swabs;
• tincture of calendula for treating pimples and umbilical wounds;
• ointment with dexpanthenol to combat diaper rash (as well as to care for the mammary glands);
• baby soap (preferably liquid, with a dispenser) and baby cream.
Step 3
A cradle or crib must be purchased and installed in advance in a place comfortable for the baby and parents (no drafts, close to the parent's bed and free access from at least one longitudinal side). Even if the mother and child are supposed to sleep together at night, the crib will be needed for sleeping and playing during the day.
Step 4
Purchase for the crib:
• orthopedic mattress;
• 2 stretch sheets;
• bike blanket;
• 2 duvet covers;
• 2 waterproof mattress covers.
Step 5
A changing table is a convenient and practical purchase. If living conditions do not allow installing an extra piece of furniture in the apartment, you can limit yourself to a changing board. It is attached to the crib fence during the procedures. Another option is a changing mattress that can be placed on the table.
Step 6
A week after birth, your baby will need a stroller. For newborns, a classic cradle, or a transforming stroller (which can be transformed into a stroller if necessary), or a 3-in-1 stroller (including a chassis, a cradle, a walking block, and sometimes also a car seat) are suitable.
Step 7
If you have a car, buy a car seat. Choose your size carefully. For newborns, a seat of group 0 / 0+ is suitable (for a child's weight up to 13 kg).
Step 8
A baby monitor is necessary for owners of large apartments with a small number of tenants.
Step 9
A bathing bath will be needed only for those who do not have a full bath at home, or for conservative parents.
Step 10
Carrying for a child is such a convenient thing that it is already difficult for a modern mother to do without it. For newborns, a carrycot, a basket, a sling with rings, a sling scarf are suitable.
Step 11
Be sure to get your child's first few toys. Above the crib, you can hang a mobile - a rotating device with funny figures that attract a baby. Buy 2-3 rattles made of wood or plastic - laconic shapes, contrasting colors, with gentle sounds, comfortable to grip. Toy pendants for viewing and contrasting black and white pictures with simple clear drawings are also good.
