The Ultimate Newborn Essentials Checklist

As I am getting closer to my due date, I wanted to double-check I have everything ready for the arrival of my second baby.

For that, I have been reviewing the list I prepared before my firstborn’s arrival. I wanted to publish it here, in the hope that new moms could also benefit.

Here is what worked for me. You might sense that it’s a lot or not enough. It ultimately depends on what you think is best for you/your baby and what your allocated budget is. Enjoy tweaking the list to your own needs!

Feel free to add your input in the comment section on things I might have forgotten, or items and advice other moms should be mindful of.
I’ve linked most of the purchases I personally made just for reference and examples. Nothing listed here is sponsored or anything of the sort. I am only sharing my own list :)

Here you go: It’s the list I wish I found online the first time around!
