Newborn

The first week essentials are dry sheets, cotton nappies or cloth diapers, a swaddle wrap, a soft towel, and a mustard seed pillow. You also need a basic grooming kit with nail file and nasal cleaner. Keep it simple — newborns don't need much, but these items get used multiple times a day from day one.

Yes. All Zikku products used directly on newborn skin are made from non-toxic, baby-safe materials — free from harmful chemicals, lead-free paints, and BPA-free plastics. Fabrics are soft and breathable, tested for use from birth. If your baby has sensitive skin or known allergies, check individual product materials listed on each product page.

A practical starting quantity: 4-6 dry sheets, 6-8 cotton nappies, 2-3 swaddle wraps, 4-6 soft towels or napkins, and 2 sets of bedding. Newborns go through multiple changes per day, so having extras prevents you from being caught short between washes. You can always add more once you see what you actually use most.

Yes, and we recommend it. Most parents find it easier to have essentials ready at home before the baby arrives rather than shopping in the first exhausting days after delivery. We deliver across India with free shipping on orders above Rs.500, so you can stock up in the third trimester and have everything ready when you bring your baby home.
