Who this list is for
Households sharing newborn overnight care between adults can use this checklist to set up one labeled bedside basket. It helps the on-duty caregiver locate routine items quickly without covering medical care.
How to use this list
Fill the labeled bedside basket with newborn diapers, fragrance-free wipes, diaper cream, disposable diaper bags, burp cloths, clean sleeper outfits, clean bodysuits, and swaddle blankets. Keep the bottle or feeding supplies set with the basket, then place the night-light, caregiver water bottle, phone charger, and parent contact sheet within reach. Use the same layout each night so both adults know where items belong.
Common mistakes
