Bringing your baby home – the essentials
Newborns have simple needs – blankets, clothes, nappies, a safe place to sleep. But unless you've done it before, it's difficult to know exactly what to buy before you bring your precious baby home.
We've created a checklist of essentials (along with some nice-to-have extras) so you can get the practical necessities ready for your new baby.
If you're about to have your first and need to stock up on the essentials, think about setting up a Dimples Gift Registry so friends and family can help.
