From my experience, this is definitely a must-have! Once you’re home from the hospital, you’ll be the one bathing your baby, so make sure to choose one that suits your needs. The one I recommend has three recline positions, so you can adjust it depen...
Baby Bath [Baby Giordano Bather]
A stroller is definitely optional, tbh, but if you can get one, it can make life with a baby so much easier! There are tons of brands with different features and price points, so you can always find one that fits your budget.
For me, it’s especially useful when we want to go out and I want my baby to be comfortable enough to nap while we’re on the go. This one is one of my picks!

Car Seat [Joie Signature I-Spin Grow Car Seat]
Honestly, this is SO useful even well into the toddler years! You won’t regret having one. Sometimes you just don’t feel like bringing a stroller, and that’s when a baby carrier becomes a total game changer. HIGHLY, highly recommend this one!
BabyBjörn Harmony Baby Carrier, Anthracite
You never really know how your feeding journey will go, so I think having a few bottles ready is a good idea. In my case, my baby had to spend some time in the NICU and needed to adjust to breastfeeding, so bottles became our little lifesaver.
I personally recommend Dr. Brown’s bottles because they’re designed with an anti-colic vent system, which can help reduce air intake and make feeding more comfortable.

Baby Bottle [Dr. Brown's Natural Flow Anti-Colic]
You NEED this if you’re going to use bottles! This is one of my little life hacks for keeping bottles clean, sterilized, and ready to go whenever you need them. There are plenty of options for different budgets, so just pick one that works for you. D...
Sterilizer & Dryer for Baby Bottles & Parts
This one is a no-brainer—you’re definitely going to need A LOT of diapers! 😂
I recommend having a changing mat too, because you’ll be changing diapers multiple times a day, everywhere.
My pick is MamyPoko Royal Soft Organic Cotton, but of course, choose whatever diaper works best for your baby’s skin and your budget.

DIAPERS! POPOK! [MamyPoko Royal Soft Organic Cotton]
This one is totally optional and depends on your sleeping arrangement. You can choose to co-sleep or have your baby sleep in a bedside crib next to your bed. If you prefer having your baby close but still in their own sleeping space, a bedside crib l...
Baby Crib [Tutti Bambini Cozee Bedside Crib]
This one is just as important! When it comes to baby skincare, pay attention to the ingredients because newborn skin can be extra sensitive. That’s why I personally went with Mustela for my baby’s bath and skincare essentials. A baby toiletries set l...
Mustela Newborn Baby Skincare & Bath Set
You’ll be surprised by how many little things you need for a newborn! Having a baby care kit ready at home makes life so much easier, especially for those little everyday needs like grooming and checking your baby’s temperature.
My advice: get a kit that includes the basic newborn essentials so you don’t have to buy everything separately.

YASEW Newborn Care Essentials Kit
You’ll use these ALL. THE. TIME. 😂 From diaper changes to cleaning little messes, baby wipes and tissues are definitely everyday essentials. Just make sure to choose baby-friendly wipes with gentle ingredients, especially for newborns.
Baby Wet Wipes and Tissue [Paseo Baby Pure Soft]
Do you need this? Not necessarily, but it can be really helpful when you’re trying to create a consistent, calming sound for your baby’s sleep. White noise is one option, but if you’re Muslim, you can also use murattal as part of your baby’s bedtime ...
Momcozy Smart White Noise Machine with Light
If you’re planning to breastfeed, trust me, you’ll use this a LOT! It helps support your baby during feeding and can make those long nursing sessions much more comfortable. And the best part? You can keep using it beyond breastfeeding, for tummy time...
Nursing Pillow [My Brest Friend Nursing Pillow]
Don’t skip this one, especially if you’re an oversupplier or a working mom! A breast pump can make it so much easier to manage your milk supply and have breast milk ready when you need it. I’d definitely consider this a must-have for breastfeeding mo...
Momcozy M5 Smart APP Wearable Breast Pump
For working moms, this is a must-have! Even if you’re a WFH mom, I’d still recommend having one just in case. It’s super handy for storing breast milk when you’re out, traveling, or even having a picnic with your little one. Definitely conditional, b...
