2025 Must Have Baby Products: From Newborn Care Specialists
Are you an expecting parent, looking to build your baby registry but feeling completely overwhelmed by all the options? What do you need and what can you skip?
We asked our team of Newborn Care Specialist what items they can’t live without and we’re here to help guide you through creating the perfect Amazon Registry.
Welcome!
We’re so happy you are here today. The Family Foundations Agency is a Nationwide team of Birth & Postpartum Doulas and Newborn Care Specialist. We connect growing families like yours with trusted providers in your community.
With decades of combined experience and hundreds of families served we know what products are worth the investment and which ones are a just-for-fun splurge.
We asked our team of Newborn Care Specialist was product they recommend the most, but what’s not too surprising, is the number of repeat answers we got. Some product really do just take the cake for the being the best of the best. But, we know that for new parents, scrolling Amazon and comparing dozens of sound machines and swaddles is overwhelming. Which one really is the best? Let’s dive in!
Let’s start with something simple —an often overlooked item— burp cloths
Why do we love them?
Muslim Burp cloths come in a variety of qualities and colors to fit a range of budgets and aesthetics. They are absorbent, wash well, and last forever. Don’t skimp when it comes to ordering — we recommend opting for at least 2-3 packages, as some babies will go through several burp cloths each day.
This next one will make your life 100% times easier according to our team
Our team loves this!
The MomCozy Bottle washer was the #1 pick by almost everyone on our team — and after years of seeing different bottle washers and sterilizers on the market, I’m not surprised that even professionals are in aw by this life saver. Depending on your bottle size, it can hold 4-8 bottles per wash. But the best part is not just it’s spacious inside, it’s the effectiveness. Your bottles will be cleaned and dried with minimal effort.
This next one is essential for sleep — both at home, and on the go
No one does it better than hatch!
Most Newborn Care Specialists are big advocates for creating healthy sleep habits from the beginning. One of the ways we can support infant sleep is by creating a calm, familiar environment. The Hatch Sound Machine comes in both a full size version and a travel version — and trust me, springing for the pair is worth every penny! The full sized version features a clock, and adjustable light feature (hello red light!) In other news, I have personally owned my original Hatch for nearly 6 years, and it’s still going strong. Can you say quality?!
Sleep oriented parents, you are not going to want to sleep on this one
We know wifi cams aren’t for everyone
But we have found the Nanit to be an incredibly useful tool for families who have sleep related goals. This monitor goes above and beyond, tracking your baby’s movements and sleep and wake times. Similar to an adult Oura Ring or Apple Watch, it can help you measure the quality of your baby’s sleep. This information can be incredibly helpful when going through common Sleep Regressions. It does require a subscription, so factor that into your investment cost.
