Babies actually don’t need much other than love and attention in the early years, apart from a few important pieces of equipment, which are unfortunately quite expensive but should not be compromised on. Here is a basic list of essentials:

Software (clothes, etc.)

30 towelling nappies if you are not using disposables

6 vests of each appropriate size

5 stretch towelling suits made of cotton

3 jerseys or jackets

5 pairs of waterproof pants

6 bibs

2 caps

4 pairs baby socks or booties to wear under stretch towelling suits in winter to keep little feet warm

4–5 receiving blankets (the ones with the pictures!)

Fitted cot sheets

2–3 covering blankets for the final cover up on a cold night

Baby carrier pouch, sling or wrap (very useful to ‘abba’ in the front or on your back)

Hardware

Crib or cot (paint must be lead free)

Changing table

Baby bath

Carry cot

A camp cot is nice to have especially when visiting

Three-in-one pram (these sometimes come with a carry cot)

Nappy bucket if you are using towelling nappies

Car seat (this must have an SABS stamp, be the correct size for the age and be used at all times)

Remember that this list can be altered to suit your needs.
