Who this list is for
This first-month newborn bath supplies checklist is for caregivers setting up a simple, repeatable bath area at home. It keeps bath items, changing supplies, and clean clothes together without turning bath time into a search through drawers.
How to use this list
Start with the bathing setup: place the infant bathtub or clean wash basin, rinse cup, fragrance-free baby cleanser, soft baby washcloths, and hooded baby towels within reach. Next, set the waterproof changing pad beside clean newborn diapers, fragrance-free baby wipes, and diaper cream. Finish by placing clean bodysuits and clean sleepers nearby, with the laundry hamper ready for used towels and clothing.
Common mistakes
Do not count on finding a clean towel or spare sleeper after the bath has started. Avoid mixing used washcloths with clean ones, and do not leave the laundry hamper across the room. This list covers supplies and cleanup, not water-temperature or skin-care instructions.
What is on this list
You will find one infant bathtub or clean wash basin, four soft baby washcloths, two hooded baby towels, one bottle of fragrance-free baby cleanser, and a rinse cup.

When you are done
