Newborn clothes to have on hand when bringing baby home

As a new mom, I will admit to having absolutely no idea what newborn clothes I needed to have on hand when I brought my baby home. It’s actually a very popular question we get from other moms too “What do I need ready to go? What newborn clothes should I register for, what should I have ready in the drawers?” When the gender was a surprise, it made it all the more challenging since people usually don’t give you a ton of clothes, so you end up shopping on your own for a lot.

Right after my first born came home, I had to send my husband out to the store to buy clothes for her because I was literally the most clueless person on earth when it came to newborn clothes I needed. So I wanted to help other new moms have their baby’s dresser ready to go with all the essentials so you don’t end up bringing your baby home wearing a hospital shirt, as pants..(yes, that actually happened).

Before diving in, I want to mention something that came as a shock to me. The babies, especially from the time they are newborns, grow very fast. I am talking they might be out of a size in 2 weeks. It will knock you on your behind if you’re not ready.

In the beginning, it’s important to have the essentials for up to 6 months size (even 9 if you’re aggressive) at hand. Let me paint this picture, by the time your baby is 3 months old, that’s just 12 weeks after giving birth, they can very well be wearing a size 6 months. That means, in those 12 weeks you would have blown through, NB, 0-3 months, 3 months, 3-6 months and 6 months size clothing. Let it sink in…

Now let’s get prepared. Below is a list of all the essential newborn clothes its best to have on hand when you bring that munchkin home from the hospital.

1. CROPPED UNDERSHIRTS – 3-6 NB Cropped undershirts with side snap – long sleeve for winter babies, short sleeve for summer babies. Let me tell you, nobody is going to buy these for you. They’re not a fun glam gift. But you need to have them on hand. I recommend getting a pack in 0-3m and 3-6m.
2. ONESIE SLEEPERS – 6-8 Newborn size onesies – We recommend also having 6-8 0-3 months and 3-6 months in the house ready to go! You really need these in every size we still have them at 18 months!) We love Carter’s of course, but then we like to have a few fancy ones for when friends come over like these Burts Bees. Bonus points if they have a zipper!
3. THE KIMONO SHIRT – Like the side snap undershirts, you should supplement with these kimono shirts. If you have a summer baby, get two to three fun ones, if you have a winter baby get 2-3 long-sleeve in a cute pattern. Trust us, the side snap avoids pulling over the head, rubbing and pulling the shirt down over the belly button. Even if you wear them under a onesie, you will be glad to have them. You can buy pants or shorts separately to go with it.
4. KIMONO OUTFITS – Like this one from Hannah Anderson or this one which is the PERFECT coming home outfit. You will so pleased with the side snap you should probably have 3 solid newborn outfits like this and even want to get (3) 0-3 month and (3) 3-6 month just to have ready to go because they are SO MUCH EASIER TO PUT ON than the over-the-head ones for the teeny ones. Note: For the 0-6 month sizes, you can get the ones that snap between the legs and turn into a onesie because the belly button will be gone.
5. SOCKS – 6 pairs of socks – size 0-3 months, 3-6 months etc..
6. MITTENS – 2 pair of mittens
7. HATS – 2 really soft hats for the first few weeks. Don’t go overboard here. Im sure you got plenty for your shower, but having a few good ones laying around especially in the winter is great.
8. BIBS – 3 Bibs because you never know if you’re getting a spitter or not!
9. Swaddles/sleep sacks – This was a question we got after publishing this post. I would recommend having at least 3 of the swaddle sleep sacks that keep the baby’s arms snug in 0-3 months. Then you want 2-3 in every size after that but they don’t need to have the arms snug. My kids wanted their arms free around 4 months.

So those are the essentials. If you want to take it a step further, of course we have list after list of children’s specialty clothing we love here. But if you have this list of items in your closet, ready to go, we are confident you’ll have your clothing situation under control.

Tips for Dressing Your Baby

Ages & Stages

Step-by-Step

When dressing your baby: While supporting your baby on your lap, stretch the garment neckline and pull it over your baby’s head. Use your fingers to keep it from catching on his or her face or ears. Don’t try to push your baby’s arm through the sleeve. Instead, put your hand into the sleeve from the outside, grasp your baby’s hand, and pull it through.
When undressing your baby: Take off the sleeves one at a time while you support your baby’s back and head. Then stretch the neckline, lifting it free of your baby’s chin and face as you gently slip it off.

Clothing Tips

In colder weather (under 75 degrees Fahrenheit [23.88 degrees Celsius]): Your baby will need several layers of clothing to keep warm. It’s generally best to dress your baby in an undershirt and diapers, covered by pajamas or a dressing gown, and then wrap him or her in a receiving blanket. For an extra layer, a wearable blanket sleeper or sleep sack is a safe alternative.
In hot weather (over 75 degrees Fahrenheit [23.88 degrees Celsius]): You can reduce your baby’s clothing to a single layer. A good rule of thumb is to dress the baby in one more layer of clothing than you are wearing to be comfortable in the same environment. See Baby Sunburn Prevention for more information.
If your baby is premature: He or she may need still another layer of clothing until his or her weight reaches that of a full-term baby and his or her body is better able to adjust to changes in temperature.
If you’ve never taken care of a newborn baby before: The first few times you change a baby’s clothes can be quite frustrating. Not only is it a struggle to get that tiny little arm through the sleeve, but your baby may shriek in protest through the whole process. Babies do not like the rush of air against their skin, nor do they enjoy being pushed and pulled through garments. It may make things easier for both of you if you hold your baby on your lap while changing the upper half of the body, then lay him or her on a bed or changing table while doing the lower half.
When you’re dressing her in one-piece pajamas: Pull them over your baby’s legs before putting on the sleeves. Pull T-shirts over her head first, then put one arm at a time through the sleeves. Use this opportunity to ask «Where’s the baby’s hand?» As your baby gets older this will turn into a game, with him or her pushing his or her arm through just to hear you say, «There’s the baby’s hand!»

Certain clothing features can make dressing much easier. Look for garments that:

Snap or zip all the way down the front, instead of the back
Snap or zip down both legs to make diaper changes easier
Have loose-fitting sleeves so your hand fits underneath to push the baby’s arm through
Have no ribbons or strings to knot up, unravel, or wrap around the neck (which could cause choking)
Are made of stretchy fabric (avoid tight bindings around arms, legs, or neck)

Swaddling

During the first few weeks, your baby will spend most of his or her time wrapped in a receiving blanket. Not only does this keep your baby warm, but the slight pressure around the body seems to give most newborns a sense of security.

How to swaddle correctly:

To swaddle, spread the blanket out flat, with one corner folded down.
Lay your baby face-up on the blanket, with his or her head above the folded corner.
Straighten your baby’s left arm, and wrap the left corner of the blanket over your baby’s body and tuck it between his or her right arm and the right side of his or her body.
Then tuck the right arm down, and fold the right corner of the blanket over your baby’s body and under his or her left side.
Fold or twist the bottom of the blanket loosely and tuck it under one side of your baby.
Make sure your baby’s hips can move and that the blanket is not too tight. You want to be able to get at least two or three fingers between the baby’s chest and the swaddle.

Unnecessary things

Every pregnant woman has her own list of what to buy for a newborn for the first time. But still, there are mandatory purchases for a young mother and baby, which should be taken care of even before the moment of birth. In this case, after discharge, the woman will enjoy getting to know the baby, and not run around the shops in search of the right thing. nine0003

Going to the maternity hospital: what you need

Even when choosing a maternity hospital, you should familiarize yourself with the requirements of the institution. In some maternity hospitals, it is forbidden to use your own clothes and hygiene items for the newborn. In others, on the contrary, they have a positive attitude towards household things.

If this is the second option, then you should take care of the following in advance:

the baby will need a set of things immediately after birth, you need to stock up on a vest or bodysuit, sliders, scratches, socks, a bonnet, each item should have several pieces; nine0006
you will definitely need diapers, moreover, pediatricians advise taking several types, since it is not known which ones will suit the baby;
those who plan to swaddle a baby should think about diapers, it is better to take 6 simple pieces and a couple of flannel products;
we must not forget about hygiene products, for babies the mandatory list includes powder, a package of wet wipes, baby milk and a suitable cream.

Some mothers immediately take a discharge kit with them. Clothing is selected based on the time of year, for winter a warm envelope or insulated overalls are usually purchased, and in the hot period they are limited to a beautiful suit. nine0003

A new mother will need her own list of necessary things, it includes the following:

documents, usually require a medical card, a passport with an insurance policy, it is also obligatory to have a birth certificate with you;
generic kit, which consists of a light nightgown, slippers, rubber shower sheets, bathrobe, a pair of socks;
immediately after childbirth, disposable diapers, sanitary pads may be needed; nine0006
to avoid problems, doctors recommend getting a breast pump and breast pads in advance;
care products, each woman has her own, but the standard set includes toothpaste, moisturizer, comb.

Each maternity hospital has its own list of necessary things and accessories, so it is better to familiarize yourself with it in advance. But usually this is a standard set, allowed in almost all institutions. Today you can buy kits ready for the maternity hospital, which have everything you need for a newborn and his young mother. nine0003

Important! Not every “newly made” mother immediately after the birth of the baby has milk, and it is not possible to establish the process of breastfeeding from the first day. Experts advise, just in case, to take feeding bottles with you to the maternity hospital, they should be marked 0m +, and the baby will also need nipples.

Things and items needed after discharge

Now, if the birth went well, there are no obvious complications in the newborn baby and the woman in labor, then they are discharged on the third day. Usually, by this time, parents have already managed to prepare everything for a meeting with a new family member. nine0003

For bathing

It is worth thinking about your baby’s hygiene in advance. A newborn baby needs daily washing, ear cleaning, these procedures should be prepared. The list of necessary accessories for bathing includes:

plastic basin for bathing;
if you plan to bathe the baby in the bath, then you need to stock up on a special hammock that will ensure the safety of the child;
for washing, it is recommended to use a soft washcloth or a terry mitten so as not to cause irritation on the skin of a newborn baby; nine0006
detergents in the form of baby soap, washing gel, it is important that the composition does not contain fragrances and fragrances;
towels and a special corner with a hood, it is especially needed in the cold season so that the baby does not freeze after taking a bath;
inflatable ring, with the help of it, the newborn will be able to swim independently in the bath, but under the supervision of parents, it is enough to put it on the neck, the child’s head will always remain above the surface of the water;
will need an ear cleaning kit. nine0006

Also, therapists advise mothers to get a thermometer, with which it will be possible to control the temperature of the water. A very convenient and necessary thing is a nasal aspirator, it will help to quickly and painlessly clear the baby’s airways and remove mucous secretions.

Nursing

Even mothers who plan to breastfeed will need additional accessories. It is mandatory to acquire the following things:

breastfeeding pillow for maximum comfort for baby and woman during breastfeeding;
bibs for the woman and bibs for the baby so as not to stain outerwear;
a set of bottles and nipples of various shapes and sizes, since it is not known which one the baby will like;
brush, with which it will be possible to wash bottles of mixtures.

Some breastfeeding mothers may also need a breast pump and a special nipple shaper, the latter especially useful for women who are having their first childbirth. nine0003

Important! Many mothers believe that there is no need to purchase bottles when breastfeeding. This opinion is erroneous, they will always come in handy, you can store expressed milk in a container, use it under water, since newborn babies especially need to drink in the first months of life.

For swaddling

Naturally, immediately upon arrival home, mommy will need a special place where she can swaddle, change clothes, treat the skin of her crumbs. It is best to purchase a changing table in advance, it is convenient in that it can be used as well as a chest of drawers in which you can put everything you need. Thus, you can equip a functional place where everything is at hand. nine0003

Also, mommy and newborn will need the following:

changing mat, soft base will not let the newborn baby hit, roll;
toys that distract the attention of the baby at the time of dressing;
bucket, preferably with a sealed lid, dirty diapers and used wipes are removed into it;
cosmetic products for diaper rash on the skin of a newborn;
nail scissors with rounded edges, so as not to accidentally prick or scratch the baby while cutting nails; nine0006
wet and dry wipe sets;
talc, hydrogen peroxide and brilliant green for the treatment of the baby’s umbilical wound.

It is worth taking care of diapers, disposable or reusable diapers for the baby in advance. It is important to buy them in the right amount even at the preparation stage, newborn babies usually go to the toilet at least ten times a day. Subsequently, the number of bowel movements decreases.

Many mothers add soothing herbs to the water while bathing their babies. Pediatricians recommend using decoctions of string and chamomile, they have a positive effect on the skin of a newborn child, help get rid of prickly heat. nine0003

For relaxation and sleep

It is a great pleasure for every mother to watch her newborn baby sleep sweetly. But for this it is important to competently organize a sleeping place, purchase a comfortable bed and a lot of other necessary accessories.

In the first period of life, the baby will need the following things:

Crib, preferably with an orthopedic mattress. nine0006
Blanket. In winter, the newborn should be covered with a warm blanket. In summer, the baby may well get by with a flannelette diaper.
It is important to equip the room where the child will rest with competent lighting. It is best to take care of a night light so that at night the bright light does not hurt the baby’s eyes.
In the nursery, you need to observe the temperature regime and monitor the humidity, so even preparing for the birth of offspring, you need to purchase a thermometer, hygrometer and humidifier. nine0006
Video baby monitor, with the help of a special device, you can constantly monitor the child. This is especially important if the baby has his own room, that is, mommy will always hear if the baby suddenly wakes up and cries.

An optional but very handy accessory is a cocoon. In it, you can put the child to sleep, leave it on the bed or sofa, and not worry that the baby will slide to the floor.

It is very important to purchase things that are safe for the baby, bed linen and other bedding must be made of natural fabric. Synthetics, low-quality underwear can cause allergic reactions, skin staining. nine0003

Also, do not fill up the crib with unnecessary items: bolsters, pillows, soft toys. This is not safe, as they often interfere with the normal breathing of the crumbs, besides, dust accumulates in them, which can also adversely affect the health of the newborn baby.

Walking

Therapists recommend taking your baby for walks two or three weeks after discharge from the maternity hospital. Naturally, for this you will need some children’s equipment, among which the main place is occupied by a stroller with a cradle. nine0003

In order to go out with maximum comfort for parents and their newborn baby, you will need to purchase additional gizmos, namely:

anti-mosquito net will protect sleep from insects;
will hide a special visor from the sun;
polyethylene cape will not let you get wet in the rain;
it is much easier to carry a child in a carrycot than to carry a heavy stroller.

For motorist mothers, it is worth taking care of the infant carrier in advance. The holding device is selected taking into account the weight, age of the child. For active women, such a device as a sling will not be superfluous. nine0003

Wrapped around the neck to one side, it frees the hands. The fabric holder is convenient to use when going with the baby to the clinic, the store, since you do not have to think about where to put the stroller.

Wardrobe for a newborn

It is better to give up a wardrobe for years to come, firstly, you can hardly predict at what pace a newborn baby will grow, and secondly, relatives and friends will present a lot of clothes as a gift. nine0003

Pediatricians advise to get the following things for the first time:

baby undershirts, you will need at least 5 of them;
three or four bodysuits with long and short sleeves respectively;
sliders, it is better to pick soft cotton products;
booties and soft slippers, the latter are worn for a walk.

If you plan to give birth in winter, you should take care of warm overalls for your newborn baby. In it, the child will be comfortable and not cold while walking in the fresh air. nine0003

Important! It is not necessary in the first months to dress a newborn baby in full-fledged shoes with a hard sole. Therapists claim that such shoes provoke the wrong formation of the foot. The best and safer option would be tight booties that do not pinch the little foot of the crumbs.

Unnecessary things

Inexperienced mothers often succumb to goods for newborns, which are imposed on them by advanced advertisers and sellers. There is a whole list of things that babies should not buy, at first they obviously won’t need them:

all kinds of toys, even a mobile in the crib, the baby will be able to react only after a few months;
it is not necessary to equip a baby bed with bumpers and pillows from the first days of life, they will come in handy only when the baby begins to actively roll over, and this moment will also have to wait several months;
a special roller that keeps the baby from turning over can be easily replaced with a rolled towel, so it’s not worth spending extra money on this device; nine0006
will not need a lounger developing a mat in the near future, these are necessary little things, but they will only be useful when the baby learns to hold his head.

It is very important to stock up on all the necessary arsenal on the eve of an important day for future parents. At first, it is better to make a list in which you should add things, items that are mandatory for mom and a newborn baby. In this case, there will be no useless purchases, waste of money, and unnecessary stress that it is not possible to find exactly the product that you may need in the first time after childbirth. nine0003
