Hospital Bag & Newborn Checklist

A checklist of what to pack for the birth and what to have ready at home for a newborn. Change quantities and notes, add or remove items, then print it or share it as text.

How to use

1. Tick an item when it is ready. "Items not ready yet" and the progress bar update at once.
2. Change quantities with "−" and "+". Press "⋯" to add a note, mark the item, move it or delete it.
3. Add anything missing under "Add an item" by typing a name, choosing where to add it and pressing "Add".
4. Use "Show" to see only "Not ready", "To buy" or "Gifts expected".
5. "Print" gives a list with tick boxes and "Copy as text" gives text to paste into a message. Both follow the current view.

How it works

• Items are grouped into the mother's hospital bag, baby things for going home, the partner, documents, and feeding, diapers, bath, sleep, going out and clothes at home.
• No products or brands are recommended, and quantities are only starting values. Check the list your hospital gives you as well.
• Ticks, quantities, notes and added items are saved only in this browser on this device. "Back to the starting list" clears them.
