The Essential Newborn Shopping list for first-time moms

A newborn shopping list is definitely one of the most daunting to-do’s associated with pregnancy. Walking into a baby store can be overwhelming – there are so many products. Do you need one of everything? Which are the best brands? Which things are useful and which are totally unnecessary?

We’ve made it easier to stay on track in the run-up to the birth by preparing the essential newborn shopping list for first-time moms. Moreover, get everything you need now for baby, and only pay later thanks to Payflex!

Nursery

The nursery is where your baby will be spending most of his or her time. Make sure you kit the room out with the most practical and functional items that not only ensure baby is comfortable, but make your life easier. Top of your newborn shopping list should be a cot, compactum, and feeding chair. Get shopping!

Cots

A cot is definitely one of the most important items on your newborn shopping list. Cots are available in a wide range of styles and materials, and can be used for baby to sleep in from birth until the age of 3.
