Who doesn’t love to shop for a new baby? The clothes are so tiny and so adorable that often times you find yourself wanting to buy the cutest, most ruffly, and over the tops outfits. These outfits may be the cutest thing you’ve seen in a long time but before you make that purchase think about the life of a newborn baby. The life of a newborn baby consists of sleeping, eating and going potty, not much more than that. So with that said, fancy and frilly clothes are not necessary. As a mom that has raised a lot of babies, I’ve compiled a list of some of the most useful newborn baby essentials. These baby essentials are a must and will make your day and night with your newborn much easier.
Let’s start with some Newborn Baby Girl Essentials. You can still buy some cute and adorable baby girl outfits while allowing for comfort for your baby girl and making life easier for you.

Boys are always easy to buy for but you still need to buy smart.

When you are buying baby clothes for your newborn, my biggest tip is to think comfort and easy diaper access. Newborns tend to go potty more often than older babies, so you will not want to have to fight buttons or snaps, especially in the middle of the night. In addition, make sure to buy top quality socks. The cheap socks will roll , fall off and eventually get lost. So the next time you are shopping, if you see an over the top adorable outfit with lots of buttons and layers, buy a few sizes up instead of the newborn size. Do you have any newborn baby essentials that you’d recommend?
This is just perfect – my brother’s wife is pregnant right now 🙂
Oh how I long for another baby. I have several friends who are pregnant right now so thanks for this list.
Even though my girls are older now, I love shopping for baby clothes for my friends who are expecting or have babies. I am loving all the boy’s options above.

I love the cut boy clothes there. Super adorable. You are right! You don’t need half of the frilly crap.
Babies need so much now a days. I don’t know how we did it thirty years ago without all the new gadgets.
Those are great suggestions. I think too much is often purchased that baby will not ever use!
Oh, all the cute little things 🙂 Great list here!
Even though you buy all those adorable dresses etc, your baby really don’t need them. Most parents buy because they’re cute and not necessity.
The onesies are adorable! These are wonderful tips.
I always keep comfort in mind when I am buying baby clothes as shower gifts. These cloths pictured in the post are adorable. Easy diaper access is so important.

Rompers were our go-to item. And when my son was super tiny, we did the gowns that converted to the pajamas (with snaps.) They were so convenient!
My sister-in-law just had a baby boy. She would love some of these outfits for her son, I am sure of it!
Oh how I miss these clothes. I just gave all of my kiddos’ old stuff away.
I miss shopping for the cute little outfits. Easy diaper access is an absolute necessity when picking clothes out.
Great list! I may need this again soon … can you believe I forget what is needed at the beginning? I must be nuts!
Those are great ideas! I have THREE sisters in law who are pregnant right now.
