The Hello Baby Preparation GuidePreparation that brings clarity, not more noise.
Evidence-based guidance for everything your newborn actually needs. Six chapters. Six areas of daily life with a baby. One resource you can read and discuss together.
Six areas. One way of thinking about preparation.
Instead of one massive list, the Hello Baby Preparation Guides are organised around the six areas of daily life with a newborn: Sleep, Feeding, Changing and Hygiene, Clothing and Comfort, Outings and Movement, and Awake Time. You can prepare area by area, at your own pace, in whatever order makes sense for you.
Choose how you want to prepare.
Each chapter stands on its own. Start with what feels most relevant to you.
chapter 01sleep
Where your baby will sleep and how to set up a safe sleep space. Bassinets, cribs, mattresses, sleep sacks, and what genuinely matters versus what you can skip.
chapter 02Feeding
Everything you need for feeding, whether breastfeeding, bottle-feeding, or both. Bottles, breast pumps, nursing supplies, and the practical items that make those early weeks easier.
chapter 03changing & bathing
Nappy changes, bath time, and skincare. How to set up spaces that make these frequent tasks comfortable and efficient for everyone.
chapter 04clothing
What your baby will actually wear and how much you need. Bodysuits, sleepsuits, seasonal considerations, and the surprisingly small wardrobe that works.
chapter 05outings & movement
Getting out of the house with your baby. Car seats, strollers, carriers, and the gear that helps you stay mobile without overcomplicating it.
chapter 06awake time
What your baby does when not sleeping, eating, or being changed. Play mats, bouncers, and the minimal setup newborns actually need in those early weeks.

You have probably noticed that most baby preparation resources speak to one parent.These guides are different. They are written for both of you. Every chapter includes questions designed to start a conversation, not assign a task. It does not matter how you divide preparation between you. What matters is that you both feel informed and confident heading into those first weeks.
Whether you read every page together or one of you skims while the other reads in detail, the guides are designed so you can each engage in whatever way works for your life.
common questions-
The guides are delivered as PDF files. You can read them on any device, save them for later, or print them if you prefer a physical copy. Once you purchase, they are yours to keep.
-
Each chapter is between 20 and 30 pages, depending on the area. They are designed to be thorough without being overwhelming. You can read a chapter in a single sitting, or dip in and out of specific sections.
-
Not at all. Each chapter is self-contained and covers one area of newborn preparation completely. Many parents start with the area that feels most pressing and add others later. The complete bundle is available if you want to cover everything at once.
-
Most parents find the guides most useful between weeks 20 and 36 of pregnancy. That gives you time to read, discuss, and make decisions without feeling rushed. But there is no wrong time to start.
-
No. These guides focus on product preparation: what to look for, what to avoid, and how to set up your spaces. All medical and care decisions should be made with your healthcare provider. We are clear about this throughout every chapter.
-
That is exactly how they are designed. Every chapter includes Questions to Discuss Together, and the language speaks to both parents throughout. Whether you read together or separately and then discuss, the guides support both approaches.
Preparation does not have to feel like this.
