Baby items every mum needs!
20
items As a first time mum, there was a lot of trial and error for me. I brought things that I did need, things that I didn’t, and things that I thought were “essential” to have. Here are a list of items you do need- that will actually be useful
I had a really clingy baby, which made doing things that required the use of both my hands tended to be hard! But a baby carrier made my life a whole lot easier! There were time where she would even fall asleep in it. Even after a year old, we still ...
Baby Harness Carriers
This is probably one of my all time favorite purchases. While bub was young - up til about 5 months, she slept in this. It attaches to your bed, which means if the baby wakes in the night, you don’t have to get out of your own bed, go into their room...
Joie Roomie Glide Bedside Sleeper - Starry Nights
Honestly, this is the holy grail of creams I swear. It heals things so quickly, from nappy rash, to scratches on the skin (those damn sharp baby nails). The tub will last as well!
Sudocrem: Australia's No 1 Nappy Rash Cream | Soothe Baby Rash
My favourite wipes of all time! I don’t get a single wipe that isn’t the “water” ones anymore. They just have so much more moisture in them than the other wipes do and I find you use less wipes because of this
Curash Simply Water Wipes 6 x 80 Pack
While this isn’t 100% necessary unless your baby is sick, it sure is good to have if your baby does get sick! I used this in winter 24/7 practically when my little one had a cold. added bonus is to get one that has a built in light - makes it easier ...
Baby Humidifiers & Vaporisers
These might be the best things invented! My little one didn’t take a dummy, but when she started teething, this was what she reached for! Not the million teething toys I had, but the massaging toothbrushes!
Nuby Nana Nubs Massaging Toothbrush
My favourite water bottle! The colour are cute and they’re not messy like other drink bottles. Your baby can flip it upside down, do whatever with it, and it won’t leak

These are so versatile and make the best toys, can be used to teach colours, to stack, can be put in the bath for water play.
Lamaze Pile and Play Stacking Cups
I know that some people don’t really need a camera, or find that they won’t use it a lot, but for me - a camera came in real handy. Especially in her own room, if I wanted to check on her without having to go in there and potentially wake her up, I c...
Baby Monitors - Safety Accessories
If your a walker, and your baby gets cranky half way through your walk in the pram, this trike is the best! There were months on end I went without going for a walk because my daughter would get upset half way through and want to be held, then I’d ha...
Kids Ride On Toys - Kids Tricycles & more
The best suits! Some have buttons - which can be annoying, the zips are definitely easier!

I was always a little scared of using blankets when my baby was little, even now at one years old I’m still cautious. Sleeping bags really help get over that fear, and it means you don’t have to worry about blankets rising over the baby’s head. There...
Newborn and Baby Sleeping Bags
I was always a little scared of using blankets when my baby was little, even now at one years old I’m still cautious. These sleeping bags have buttons on the size so you can tuck the baby’s arms in (when they’re little and you want to keep them swadd...
ErgoPouch
I’m an organisation freak! Everything needs to have its place, and I need to be able to reach for it easily! Plus, if you need to change your baby in a different room, or your going out somewhere to a friends house, you can just take the basket with!...
Living Textiles Cotton Rope Basket Nappy Caddy
Honestly, I think everyone should have a baby bag, it comes in handy when you need it. Pack nappies, extra clothes, wipes, and have it always ready to go!
Baby, Nappy & Diaper Bags
I also have this in my car filled with nappies, wipes and nappy bags. It’s just in case I’m in a rush one day and forget the baby bag (which has happened more than once) and then I’m not having to go to the supermarket to buy more nappies and wipes j...
Car Organisers - Backseat & Boot ...
A must have for your baby’s room!
Nursing Chairs - Ottomans & Rocking Chairs
I just really like that this one connects to your phone. Plus it’s also not an arm and a leg $$
Minbie Wearable Breast Pump
This was an added benefit for me when my little one was little. She always fell asleep in the car, and that way I could just get the capsule out, pop it on my pram, and not have to worry about waking her up when I needed to do something.
Baby Capsules
A natural baby wash, I found this one to be the best. A little bit goes a long way so it does last.
