Your essential baby checklist
Here's what your baby will need after birth.

5 bodysuits - unless you know that you are having a big- or small-for-dates baby, buy newborn-sized outfits

Newborn nappies

Going-home outfit - although you'll probably get lots of outfits as gifts

Cosy blanket - especially if it's cold

Car seat for the journey home - ensure that this has been fitted properly and is suitable for a newborn baby. You won't be allowed to go home without one

Prima baby says...
If you're a natural organiser you'll probably love packing your hospital bag, but don't feel you have to include everything on this list.

For an online checklist that you can personalise and update as you go along and print out to take shopping, make sure you have registered, then sign in and click on the My birth checklist under "You and Your Baby"
