Clothes, sleep, feeding, bath, nappies and travel: the complete first-three-months list, with quantities and what to skip.

Push car at 1, battery jeep at 3, electric bike at 5? Age, weight limit, speed and space decide it.

Cradle, cot, jhula or bedside co-sleeper? Safe sleep basics and what lasts beyond six months.

Trike at 1.5, scooter at 3, bicycle at 5? Sizing by height, helmets and what to check before you buy.

Seat walker or push walker? Age, safety checks, daily limits and the alternatives many paediatricians prefer.
