Baby Checklist

Buy onesies that button down the front instead of rompers (getting a newborn's fragile head through the neck hole was a real challenge for me back then). Long sleeved zipper rompers with covered footsies for easy diaper changes at night if you intend to have baby sleep with the aircon on. Crib for night; bouncer for daytime, playmat for tummy time. Bathtub, head-to-toe baby wash, and chemical-free detergent. And of course, diapers and unscented wet wipes. And finally, a newborn carrier to "wear" your infant simply because you can still do stuff around the house hands-free while keeping baby soothed. As for decor/toys, high contrast colours are best for catching newborns' attention/focus.
