Newborn essentials checklist: what to have, and how many of each

In shortFor a baby born in New York City on March 15, 2027, with balanced amounts, Cotokim's checklist has 70 entries, counting each size apart, and 43 of them are for before the birth. That includes 61 clothing items in sizes NB to 6M and 1,432 diapers until 6 months. The amounts are a Cotokim proposal and change with your city, due date, laundry routine and how much slack you want.

The amounts below are Cotokim's list for one baby in New York City, born on March 15, 2027, with balanced amounts, laundry every two days, a clothes dryer and a home heated in winter. The tool builds the same checklist for your city and due month, and prints it with a box to tick next to each item.

Before the birth

What the list puts in place before the baby arrives, group by group:

The baby blankets are for holding, the stroller and outings, never in the crib: it holds nothing but a fitted sheet 4. If your hospital gives you a list for the hospital bag, follow it.

The first months, in all

Counting the bigger sizes and what comes later, the same baby's list adds up to:

  • Clothes: 10 short-sleeve bodysuits, 9 long-sleeve bodysuits, 9 sleepers, 8 short-sleeve rompers, 3 fleece sleepers, 9 pairs of pants, 11 cardigans or light jackets, 1 snowsuit or bunting, 11 pairs of socks, and 7 knit hats.
  • Diapering: 1,432 diapers, 3 packs of wipes, 1 tube of diaper cream, 1 portable changing pad, and 1 changing pad.
  • Out and about: 1 infant car seat, 1 stroller, and 1 diaper bag.
  • Feeding: 7 burp cloths, 2 drool bibs, 1 high chair, and 2 feeding bibs.
  • Nursery: 1 room thermometer, 1 night light, 1 laundry hamper, and 1 childproofing kit.
  • Health: 1 digital thermometer, 1 bottle of saline drops, and 1 oral syringe.

Optional, only if they fit your home:

  • Sleep: bassinet.

  • Feeding: nursing pillow; breast pump; milk storage container and plate, spoon and cup set.
  • Bath and hygiene: bath thermometer, soft hairbrush, and pack of cotton balls.
  • Clothes: pair of scratch mittens, sun hat, and pair of booties.

What changes your checklist

  • Your city and due month. The clothes follow the weather of the weeks your baby wears each size. A month counts as cold below 64 °F (18 °C) and hot from 75 °F (24 °C) up, a Cotokim proposal. A snowsuit only shows up when your baby will go out in freezing months, and it comes off for the car seat: NHTSA says bulky clothing or blankets can prevent a snug harness fit, so buckle your baby in first and then place coats or blankets over the harness 2. Weather by city is on the baby clothes by city pages.
  • Your laundry routine. Doing laundry every day needs fewer clothes; every three days or more, more. Without a dryer, the list counts a day for clothes to dry.
  • Your home in winter. In a heated home, the clothes for indoors follow the room, and only the ones for going out follow the cold.
  • How much slack you want. The same baby's list has 51 entries with essential amounts, 70 with balanced amounts and 83 with complete amounts.

Left off the list

Some products stay off Cotokim's list on purpose:

  • Crib bumpers and inclined sleepers. Federal law treats them as banned hazardous products 5, and since November 12, 2022 it is unlawful to sell, make or import them in the US 6.
  • Weighted blankets and weighted swaddles. The CPSC says not to use them 4.
  • Sleep positioners. The FDA says not to use infant positioners, because they pose a risk of suffocation 7.
  • Products sold to prevent SIDS. The FDA is not aware of evidence that any baby product on the market prevents or reduces the chance of SIDS 7.
  • Teething necklaces and bracelets. The FDA says not to use jewelry marketed for teething pain 3.
  • Insect repellent before 2 months. The CDC says not to use it on babies younger than 2 months, and to cover the stroller and carrier with mosquito netting 8.
  • Bottles, nipples and pacifiers. Cotokim does not promote them, so they are not on the suggested list. If you plan to use them, add them to your own list.
The crib holds nothing but a fitted sheet, and the safest way for a baby to sleep is flat on their back, with no pillows, blankets or toys 4. For warmth, use a wearable blanket or an extra layer of clothing 9. The infant car seat rides rear-facing: NHTSA says a child under age 1 should always ride in a rear-facing car seat 1. The amounts on this page are a Cotokim proposal. Checked by the Cotokim team against the sources on this page. It does not replace advice from the health care team that looks after you and your baby.

Frequently asked questions

What does a newborn really need before the birth?

A safe place to sleep, clothes in size NB, diapers, a way to bathe and change your baby, and an infant car seat for the ride home. For the baby in this page's example, that is 43 entries with balanced amounts. Many other things can wait until you know what your baby and your home need.

How many diapers does a newborn need?

For the first 6 months, the list counts 1,432 diapers: 348 in size N, 530 in size 1 and 554 in size 2. Before the birth, it counts only size N, because babies grow out of each size at their own pace.

Do I need a bassinet?

It is optional on Cotokim's list. The crib is enough, as long as it holds nothing but a fitted sheet 4.

Does the list change for twins?

Yes. The tool asks how many babies you are expecting: clothes, diapers and the crib are counted per baby, and the stroller becomes a double stroller.
