Hello, future mommies and daddies :)
I'm super excited each time I found out about fellow friends who are expecting!
Shopping for your newborn can be a little overwhelming especially if you have no idea what's needed and what's not. I'm sure you can google all the things needed for your baby and there are tonnes of blogs about it. In this post, I'm going to share with you all my newborn essentials that I personally bought and do not regret buying since I was 6-month preggo.
I will also include all the Shopee links :)
Do you know that all amazing baby stores like mothercare, happikiddo, joie, Anakku have their own official stores on Shopee? Amazing right?!
So you don't have to create many accounts just to buy baby stuff. Add everything into your Shopee cart and you're good to fo!

Baby Wardrobe Essentials
It doesn’t get much cuter than tiny baby clothes, but you’ll want to pick out practical baby things that’ll keep your newborn comfy and cozy. When it comes to clothing, these are the baby must-haves:
- 4-8 onesies (envelope folds at the shoulders and snaps at the crotch)
I bought multiple sets from Gugu, it's a local brand that I discovered during baby fair! Fortunately, they also have their official store on Shopee. You can get yours now here:
Gugu Newborn Onesies
The best thing is they have mittens, socks and hat together with the onesies, so for someone like me who loves color-coordinated outfit for my baby, Gugu is perfect!
You can also get yours from Anakku, I prefer buying Anakku outfits at Parkson, they have many choices there as compared to at their online stores.
- 4-8 shirts (kimono-style with snaps or envelope folds at the shoulders)
I bought most of Iryss' kimono-style from H&M physical store. In a way it's like onesie but with kimono style. So much easier to put this one baby.
- 4-8 pants (footies can be a great option)
I also prefer buying tights for Iryss from H&M. Zalora has great selections of H&M tights and you can buy them from this link:
Zalora H&M Baby Leggings
Gugu has great pyjamas for newborn baby too. It's zipped up version. It's easy to wear but the downside is that you gotta have to take off the whole outfit when changing diapers at night.
For Iryss, I bought premature clothes from mothercare for her, the size fits baby who's below 3kg. You don't need many of them, just one set or two should be enough as your baby will outgrow them fast. You can buy this set from this link:

ps, I only buy gender neutral colored clothes just to be safe hehe
You gotta spend wisely when it comes to buying baby clothes because they outgrow their clothes super fast. Shopee is always the best place to buy cheap and cute outfits for your baby. And mine is from this link:

Of course you would need socks and mittens too! I love matching her outfits with same colored socks. As for mittens, I didn't really put them on as Iryss turned a month old hehe #notguilty
Both are great but Anakku is much cheaper than Applecrumby hehe
I hope my suggestions will help you shopping for your baby. Treat shopping as a therapy, and as a form of excitement to welcome your newborn to this world. <3
In my next post, I will share Newborn Gear Essentials.
Stay tuned!
