One of the most enjoyable parts of pregnancy is arranging the baby’s trousseau. As this phase demands a lot of expenses, the baby shower list is an excellent opportunity to receive that little help from friends and family, in addition to strengthening ties. To help you choose the products you need, check out two list options: one basic and one complete.
Basic baby shower list
You can choose to have a simple baby shower, a more intimate event with few guests. Or maybe you prefer to focus on the most commonly used and routine products. For these cases, the list below is concentrated on the most important items.

- Cloth diapers
- RN disposable diapers
- Disposable Diapers Size P
- Disposable Diapers Size L
Hygiene
- Cotton
- wet wipe
- diaper rash ointment
- Nasal aspirator

Ask guests to prioritize products without dyes, dermatologically tested and suitable for babies. In the case of fabrics, the preference is for cotton pieces. In addition, it is recommended to order at least two different brands of disposable diapers, in case the baby is allergic to any of them.

Now that you’ve seen the essentials, the next baby shower list is for anyone looking to host a more complete event or are counting on additional help from friends.

Choose a way to keep the list up to date and accessible to guests to avoid duplicate products. It’s also a good idea to go easy on the demands: you don’t want any guests feeling embarrassed. Ordering a package of diapers plus one of the products on the list is the most used suggestion and it usually works.
That’s a lot to buy and plan! After preparing your baby shower list, count on the help of friends and relatives to organize yourself in time, reduce expenses and gather loved ones in an event of much love. To thank guests for attending the party, see beautiful baby shower favor ideas!
