Baby products are essential for any parent. Whether you’re a first-time mom or father, you’ll need to be prepared with the right products. You'll feel more prepared for the day you get to bring your kid home once you have the essentials.

New Zealanders who are looking for baby products will need to do some research before they head out to the shops.

To help you get your baby’s nursery ready, here’s a list of things you may need for your newborn baby:

Nursery Essential

Dummies/ Pacifiers – It isn't recommended to introduce these until 6 weeks and you'll know by either if your baby likes to use biting to soothe themselves

Nappy Creams – Fresh air is as good as anything and if you need any special creams, your healthcare provider will specify these for you, If you’re breastfeeding, breastmilk has antibacterial and antifungal plots making it the casual rough rash result ever!

Breast Pump – If you’re planning to breastfeed, you will need a Breast-pump.

Baby Massage Oil - Before bed, use Baby Massage Oil to nourish your baby's delicate skin while they drift off to sleep.
