Fillable PDF — type into the fields online or in any PDF viewer before printing.
Seven sections cover the things a first baby actually needs: nursery, feeding, changing, clothing, bath, health and going out. Fifty-three items are printed, each on its own ruled row, and every section ends with a blank line for whatever your family adds. The order follows the way you shop rather than the way a shop is laid out, so the cot and the mattress sit together and the car seat sits next to the pram.
Each row has two tick boxes instead of one. The first column is "Got it". The second is "2nd hand", for the things you are happy to take from a sibling, a friend or a resale group — a cot, a changing table, a sling, clothes that get worn for six weeks. Keeping the two apart stops you buying new what somebody has already offered you, and shows at a glance how much of the list is still open.
Pick the feeding section that matches your plan before you download: breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or both. Pumps, nursing pads and nursing bras appear in one, bottles, teats and a steriliser in another, and a shortened mix of the two in the third. The due date, the blank lines, every tick box and the two write-in boxes at the foot of the page are form fields, so you can fill it in on screen or print it and work through it with a pen. One page, US Letter or A4.
