Your baby is on the way—there are exciting times ahead! To ensure you’re properly prepared for that bundle of joy—as well as the sleepless nights and fatigue—I have put together a list of newborn must-haves.
These clothes, accessories, supplements, and other products are designed to improve the health of your little one. They should also make your life easier!
You can see the full list here on Amazon, but I have highlighted some of the most important products below.

The food you eat can change your breast milk and may affect your baby’s health. This bundle was developed with that in mind. It contains a range of supportive nutrients designed for you and your baby.

Evereden Baby Bathtime Duo
Pay close attention to the ingredients in soaps, shampoos, and anything else that touches your baby’s skin. They’re often loaded with chemical additives that can cause harm. That’s why I love this shampoo, body wash, and moisturizer combo. They are created by pediatricians, dermatologically tested, and made from natural and non-toxic ingredients like avocado oil and coconut oil.

iHealth No-Touch Forehead Thermometer
We’ve all been guilty of obsessing over body temperatures the last few years, but it’s an obsession that mothers have known for generations! Your baby can’t tell you when they’re unwell; you need to check. That’s where this nifty little thermometer comes in.
I’ve tried many no-touch thermometers in the past. Some stop working for no apparent reason, others give varied readings. This one, however, works like a charm and that’s why it’s on this list!

Amazon Basics Portable Travel Window Blackout Curtain Shades
Invaluable. That’s the best way to describe blackout curtains and blinds. If you’re sensitive to light and struggle to sleep, you’ll probably know how beneficial they can be. These blackout curtains are on this list because they can help your newborn to sleep, but they’ll work just as well for you.
As they are part of the Amazon Basic range, they are very affordable and surprisingly good quality.

Products for Your Newborn
You probably already have a few things for your newborn. If you’re like millions of other parents, those things will include an endless quantity of clothes and accessories that they’ll grow out of in a few months. But your baby needs more than cute boots and hats!
Check out my Amazon list for more essentials. And if you have friends and family members eager to contribute, send the link over to them. If you have an Amazon account, you can create a wish list of newborn essentials (and whatever else you want for yourself or your baby) and send it to people you know.
