Minimalist Newborn Essentials Checklist — 0–3 Month Baby Registry Guide (Printable PDF)

Only what you actually need for the first three months. Nothing you don't.

Written from the perspective of a baby registry consultant and minimalist parenting coach, this 11-page fillable PDF cuts the average $2,500+ registry down to the items that earn their place.

Who this is for

The registry site suggested 214 items, your mother-in-law has opinions, and your apartment has exactly one spare corner. This is for you if you're expecting a baby and would rather buy thirty right things than two hundred maybes — and you'd love written permission to skip the wipe warmer. If "less stuff, more baby" sounds like your kind of nesting, this is the checklist.

Inside:

• The 4-question buying filter + 3-zone nursery setup (works in one corner of any room)
• The 0–3 month absolute essentials — Sleep, Feeding, Clothing, Travel, Hygiene — with exact quantities
• The "Do Not Buy" list: 18 overhyped items and the zero-cost substitute for each
• Quantity & budget calculator: minimalist vs. typical registry, new vs. secondhand pricing
• Sustainable sourcing map + 9-point secondhand safety inspection checklist
• One-page print-and-go registry summary
