Breaking the bank is easy when it comes to newborns – but here’s my 10 Essential Products for Newborns

There’s feeding…

When it comes to feeding your little one, having the right essentials can make all the difference. A good breast pump along with storage bags can help you prepare and store milk with ease. Anti-colic bottles

are a great choice to keep your baby comfortable during feedings, while a nursing pillow provides extra support for both mom and baby.

Don’t forget those burp cloths—they’re a lifesaver for keeping things clean and tidy!  Babypal was designed because I could not find a changing pad with a gently raied head – which was essential for my reflux prone babies. Most mommies know it’s all about efficiency when you’re changing the baby and to find that clean towel to put under baby’s head is sometimes a pain in the butt.  Far better to have a changing pad which already had raised head. Enter Babypal.

And diapering…

 

Diapering your newborn is much easier with a few key essentials on hand. Stock up on soft, newborn-sized nappies and gentle, water-based wipes to keep your baby’s skin clean and healthy. A soothing diaper cream is great for preventing and treating any irritation, and a portable changing pad makes diaper changes convenient wherever you are.  And of course, we are unashadely proud of Babypal, which makes life so simple. No more messy sheets, just wipe down and job done.

And sleep, blessed sleep…The Holy Grail for all parents!

Getting your baby to sleep (and stay asleep) can feel like a superpower—but the right gear helps! A cozy Moses basket or crib sets the stage for sweet dreams, while swaddles or sleep sacks work like tiny baby burritos to keep them snug. A white noise machine can be your secret weapon for drowning out mysterious household creaks (and maybe even the dog).

And don’t forget a nightlight—it saves your toes from midnight stub trauma and lets you do those sleepy check-ins without a full light show!

You’re ugly and your Mommy dresses you funny!

Is not something they will ever say about  your baby , but when it comes to dressing your tiny human, comfort (and ease!) is key. Zip-up sleepsuits are a total game changer—because who wants to fumble with snaps at 2 a.m.? Scratch mittens help keep those surprisingly sharp baby nails from turning into mini weapons, and a good stash of hats and socks keeps them cozy from head to toe. Baby blankets are perfect for snuggles and stroller rides—but remember, they’re for wrapping, not for sleeping (we’re going for snug, not smothered).

Don’t forget the essential Kneepal at Bathtime

 

Ah, bathtime! What a ritual that was with Baby Number One.  Precious memories. Bath time can be a splashy little adventure, and having the right tools makes it way more fun (and less slippery). A baby tub keeps your little one safely supported, while a gentle wash and shampoo keep that precious skin and hair squeaky clean without any tears. Soft towels and washcloths are perfect for cuddly drying sessions, and a baby nail file helps you tame those teeny talons—because somehow, baby nails grow at superhero speed!

Lastly, don’t forget to have fun!
