Newborn Checklist & Shopping

Newborn checklist and baby shopping list in one plan: browse illustrated items with short practical notes, set your due date, and see what to prepare each week and what is still left to buy. Baby Prep keeps quantities, gifts and your baby budget together, and every suggestion can be changed or skipped.

▶ SEE EACH ITEM UP CLOSE
• Browse 183 illustrated suggestions. Tap an item for a larger drawing and a short practical note on choosing or using it.
• Treat the list as a starting point: change target quantities, skip items that do not suit your household and add your own items.
• Choose climate, birth season and feeding plan to adjust suggested quantities. Clothing includes newborn, 0–3 month and 3–6 month sizes.

▶ ARRANGE YOUR PLAN, WEEK BY WEEK
• Create and rename categories and subcategories, then move items into the groups that make sense to you.
• Set your due date and open This week for the countdown, week ribbon and outstanding items, including earlier items still needed.
• Coming up lists up to six of the nearest items still to prepare, so This week stays useful before anything is due.
• Edit each item's Needed by week and see its suggested calendar date. Look ahead on the ribbon as your preparation changes.

▶ KNOW WHAT IS STILL NEEDED
• Record quantities as Bought, Gifted or Borrowed, with New or Second-hand condition recorded separately.
• Partial purchases and gifts reduce the quantity still needed; you can remove a received entry if it changes.
• Tap Got it on a row in This week or All items to record one unit as Bought and New in a single step. Add the amount paid later with Edit under Received entries.
• Enter planned prices per item and paid amounts. Budget shows Original estimate, Remaining estimate and Actual expenditure, with category totals that include subcategories.
• Save a Gift list of quantities still needed as text, PDF or an image, then share the saved file. Available export formats depend on the device's installed capabilities.

▶ KEEP A COPY OF YOUR PREPARATION
• Save a multipart backup with its manifest, then import the complete set to preview and merge it.
• Exchange backup files manually with a partner working from the same plan. Newer whole-item edits win; review received entries after an exchange.
• Enable optional Weekly preparation reminders with notification permission. Planning remains usable if permission is denied.

▶ GOOD TO KNOW
• One preparation plan per installation. Existing populated plans cannot merge a different plan.
• One selected currency per plan, without conversion. Currency cannot change while a planned or paid amount exists.
• The week ribbon covers weeks 20–40; item deadlines can be set from week 1 to 40. Weekly reminders stop at week 40.
• Backups contain structured plan data, not photo attachments; import needs every part and the manifest.
• Plan data is saved in the app. Exports and backups are created in the app and kept in Saved files until you delete them; copies you share or save elsewhere remain where you put them.
• Suggestions and quantities are editable shopping guidance for adult parents and carers, not medical advice. Follow professional guidance for safety and feeding.
