My Must-Have Newborn Baby Essentials
22
items All the essential newborn products that I used myself in 2024 with my little boy and would highly recommend to anyone who is pregnant and is about to have a newborn baby.
A lifesaver during night feeds if formula feeding, I wish this was around when I had my first. Whilst I did breastfeed for 9 months, we also gave the odd bottle of formula and this little device cools down the boiling water in minutes to be the perfe...
PrepGo Portable Formula Feed Maker Set
We used this from birth to associate night time with white noise and red light. Such a clever little device
Dreammaker™ Light and Sound Baby Sleep Aid Machine
I used this breast pump from 6 weeks onwards and it was great. Quiet yet efficient and meant I could pump on the go. It's really easy to set up and the battery has a good life too.
S12 Pro Wearable Breast Pump | Efficient & Quiet - Momcozy
Make sure to use it from birth so that your baby gets the association with sleep. A really powerful little device but make sure not to turn it to full power as it really is powerful.
Rockit Rocker - Portable Rechargeable Baby Rocker
This little device gave us such peace of mind. It monitors baby's heart rate and breathing and if there are any issues it plays a sound to alert you. You can connect it to your phone so you can see the heart rate and oxygen readings. We still use thi...
Owlet® Dream Sock

This saves us so much time when sterilising bottles, breast pumps, dummies etc. No need for a microwave. Sterilises bottles, dummies and toys using UV within minutes. I could not be without this and still use it almost 2 years later to sterilise thin...
UV Steriliser for bottles / breast pumps / dummies
We had one of these 6 years ago with my daughter and we have used it again this time round. Perfect to keep boiling water hot for bottles and the lid is great to warm bottles and food. We've found it keeps water hot for around 6 hours. It fits perfec...
Portable Travel Baby Bottle and Food Warmer - Tommee Tippee
You need these in your life. Perfect to hang your shopping on so you don't have to carry it, I also hook the dogs lead on there too when walking. Just make sure not to overload them or else the pram can tip and become unsafe.

Keeping the water temperature in baby's bath to 37 degrees celcius is easy with this cute little seal. It flashes red if the water is too hot. It also acts as a toy, my little boy loves to play with it at bath time.
Baby bath thermometer
The best bottles, I can confirm we tried a lot with my daughter but these MAM bottles are brilliant as they are anti colic but also self sterilising. If we don't have access to our UV steriliser (for instance when we are at grandparents) we can steri...
MAM Easy Start Anti-Colic Bottle Pack
A strange one I know but stay with me. If formula feeding, it's recommended to use boiling water that has cooled to around 70 degrees Celsius so as not to burn the formula (please do your own research). If I have time and my baby isn't screaming, I b...
Amazon Basics 1.7L Stainless Steel Kettle
I cannot recommend the organic muslins enough especially the larger ones as you can use them as swaddles or blankets in the hot weather. My little boy loves the feel too and uses it as a comforter too.
Organic cotton large muslins
We used this sleeping bag from birth. It's perfect to swaddle baby when they are tiny but as they grow, it grows with them. We used it to avoid blankets which always worried me but also to associate with night time for my little boy. It's really good...
Baby Sleeping Bags - Purflo
We used this birth. I did lots of research with this one and found this baby bed to be the best as it's breathable. Although we only used it for supervised naps and never overnight my little boy did love it as I think he felt secure in it. It's light...
The Sleep Tight Baby Bed - Purflo
Slings are a hard one as everyone is different but I would always recommend getting one, baby's love to be close to you and it means you have 2 hands free. This was our favourite, along with another one recommend in this list too. Both myself and my ...
Izmi | Baby Carriers, Baby Wraps & Toddler Carriers | Compact ...
We really loved this sling and used from birth. It keeps baby close and secure. We actually used this one with both my children and loved it. It's easy to use and soft material too.
Boba Ring Sling Baby Carrier - Lightweight
I'm in love with this changing bag. I'd always recommend a rucksack style bag as it makes your life so much easier. I wanted a changing bag that was stylish but practical and I found it in this bag. Perfect for both parents to use too.
Luxe Minimalist Backpack - Russett
I bought this pram back in 2017 when I was pregnant with my daughter and I am still using it 7 years later for my son. Honestly, the best pram out there if you know you will be doing lots of walking, the bigger wheels mean it's great for all terrains...
Mamas & Papas Ocarro 2 Pushchair
I've tried lots of baby baths and this is one of the best, it saves so much water as you just fill the small bath and it has a little raised part inside the bath to stop baby from slipping.
Shnuggle Baby Bath | Built-in Newborn Support & drain plug
This is such an affordable nursery set. We got this for my little boy as I knew I didn't want to spend a fortune. It's such good quality, we got the cot, the wardrobe and the drawers which have a changing part on top of them.
