When I was pregnant, I spent a lot of time researching baby products, reading reviews and trying to figure out what was actually worth buying. Some things turned out to be genuinely essential. Others barely got used.
This is the list I wish I'd had. These are the Amazon baby items I'd genuinely add to my wishlist again, not just the things that look good online. I've marked my absolute favourites with a star so you can spot them easily.
Sleep Essentials
Our most-used swaddle by far.
Soft and stretchy, useful for everything from swaddling in the first days to nursing covers.
A genuine sleep essential. Made a real difference to our bedtime routine.
A simple, reliable option for peace of mind overnight.
Soft fitted sheets for bedside sleepers and bassinets.
Worth having backups during the newborn stage.
Soft, stretchy and hold up really well after washing.
Another newborn essential for inevitable leaks.
Breastfeeding & Nursing
Perfect for catching letdown or building a freezer stash.
Applied after every single feed. Non-negotiable in my routine.
Genuinely worth every cent. Help prevent serious cracking.
Comfortable and absorbent for daily wear.
A great reusable option that saved me constantly buying disposables.
Easy to store and freeze without taking up much space.
Bottle Feeding
Changing Essentials
Health & Baby Care
Made newborn bath time so much easier and less stressful.
Used constantly - bath time, spit up, general clean-ups.
Made checking bath temperature quick and easy.
A lovely starter set with gentle baby skincare essentials.
Soft brushes designed for delicate newborn hair and skin.
Much less stressful than traditional baby nail clippers.
Quick and easy for checking temperatures, especially overnight.
One of those things you don't think you'll need. Until you really do.
One of my most-used cleaning products during the newborn stage.
Everyday Essentials
On the Go
Baby Clothing
Baby Toys & Play
Every baby is different, and not everything on this list will be for everyone. But these are the things I actually reached for, not just the products that look good in a flatlay.
I hope it saves you some research time.
