What are some necessities of a newborn baby?

Newborns need clothing, diapers, blankets, personal hygiene products and beds. Each of these basic categories contains many types of products from which parents can choose.

Newborns typically need several changes a day of sleepers, onesies, undershirts and socks. Bottle-fed babies need formula, bottles, nipples, bibs and burp cloths. A few personal hygiene items include baby wash, baby shampoo, soft washcloths and hooded towels. Strollers should recline to let newborns lie down. Newborns also need safety-approved car seats.

Besides diapers, basic diaper bag supplies may include changing pads, small plastic disposal bags, diaper creams, hand sanitizers and extra changes of clothing.
