What are must-have baby essential products?

Baby bottles and feeding

Whether you’re breastfeeding or using formula, you’ll need a set of bottles and a reliable cleaning setup. Many parents pair their pump with accessories such as extra teats, valves and organisers to keep everything tidy.

Milk and food pouches

Reusable pouches make meal prep and storage straightforward. Fill, seal, freeze and warm when needed. See our reusable food pouches and FAQs on storing and labelling pouches.

Health basics

Keep a digital infrared thermometer for quick checks and a pulse oximeter to monitor oxygen saturation and pulse when advised. A gentle nasal aspirator and saline can help during colds. Log feeds, sleep and changes with BubbaLog to spot patterns.

How to choose the best essentials

Features

Match the product to the job. For feeding, decide between manual, electric or wearable pumps, then add accessories for storage and sterilising. For health, look for clear displays, fast readings and simple operation.

Quality

Prioritise baby-safe, durable materials and parts that are easy to replace. Choose leak-resistant storage with clear volume markings. See our curated accessories for compatible options.
