Modern baby shower essentials

For a baby shower, start with the parents’ own list and fill an actual gap. Feeding preferences, available floor space and plans for outings matter more than assembling a nursery full of gadgets.

Let the parents set the priorities

Ask before buying feeding equipment, a carrier or a bouncer: these choices depend on the family and the baby. Check the current age, size and use instructions with the seller.

Smaller supplies can complement a larger gift. Avoid treating this collection as a checklist of things every newborn needs.
