The Newborn Essentials Checklist — What You Actually Need
Avoid buying what you'll never use. Our UAE-parent-tested checklist covers the first 3 months.
Diapering
Plan for 8-12 diapers per day in the first weeks. Our eco-friendly economy packs (AED 55/60ct) save parents 40% versus retail. Don't forget wipes — 960 wipes per case (AED 49) lasts about 3 weeks.
Feeding
Whether breastfeeding or formula, you'll want: 6-8 anti-colic bottles, bottle warmer, sterilizer, burp cloths, and a comfortable nursing pillow. Our silicone bottle 3-pack (AED 69) is BPA-free with anti-colic vent system.
Clothing
In Dubai's climate, focus on: 6-8 cotton onesies, 3-4 sleep sacks, 4-5 muslin swaddles, and 2-3 coming-home outfits. Our organic cotton romper 3-pack (AED 49) is the single most-purchased newborn item.
Sleep
Safe sleep is non-negotiable. You'll need: a firm crib mattress, 3-4 fitted sheets, a wearable blanket (no loose blankets), and a baby monitor. Our star projector night light (AED 69) is the #1 sleep aid parents buy.
Bath & Care
Newborns only need 2-3 baths per week. Essentials: baby bathtub, hooded towels (3), gentle wash, nail trimmer, and digital thermometer. Our electric nail trimmer (AED 49) is the anxiety-free parent favorite.
