What it is
A short, practical checklist for the first days at home with a newborn.
Who it is for. First-time parents, before or just after coming home.
What it solves. Knowing what actually needs to be ready, and what can wait.
How it differs from the other guides
Free four-page checklist for the first days at home. A quick starting point, not the full guide.
About the health information
General educational information. Not medical advice, and not a substitute for advice from your pediatrician, midwife or healthcare team.
Questions
Before you buy
Is this digital?
Yes. It is a PDF you read on a phone, a tablet or a computer. There is nothing physical to ship and nothing to install.
Is the information medical advice?
No. It is general educational information and it does not diagnose. Where it describes what is commonly observed in newborns it says which authority describes it (the American Academy of Pediatrics, the CDC or NICHD) and lists every source at the back. If you are worried about your baby, contact your pediatrician. For an emergency, seek emergency care.
You don't need to know everything before the baby arrives.
You just need a useful place to start.
