Eagerly awaiting your little one's arrival, or recently welcomed a baby into your family? Your first few outings with a newborn can be both exciting and a little daunting. Whether it's for a doctor check-up, mother's group meeting or café trip, keeping your baby's bag packed and organised with all the essentials will make getting out and about that little bit easier.
We've compiled our newborn packing checklist to help make sure you've got all the basics you and baby need.

Optional extras
When your baby is a little older you can add teething rings and rusks, their favourite cuddly animals and toys, sunscreen, Panadol, band-aids and their mealtime essentials.
Top tips
Spare clothes: Keep a spare change of clothes (or two) for both baby and you in wet bags for quick outfit changes.
Nappy caddy: Pack a nappy changing caddy so you can quickly access your change essentials. Include your favourite nappies, wipes, bags, cream and a wipe-clean change mat.
Hands-free: Pieces that allow you to keep your hands free are essential when holding a newborn, right through to the toddler years. Our Luxe Knot Key Rings hang from your wrist so you've got two free hands when getting your little one out of their car seat. Or use a Carabiner Capsule to combine a Luxe Elsie Wallet, keys and your parenting essentials in a Luxe Pouch that can clip straight onto your pram handlebar.
Pram straps: Keep a set of pram straps attached to your stroller so you can swiftly attach your Alf bag.
