Collection: Baby Feeding Essentials

The products you need will depend on whether you are breastfeeding, expressing, bottle feeding, or combining feeding methods. Helpful newborn essentials may include burp cloths, bibs, bottles and teats, breast milk storage products, nursing support, and bottle-cleaning accessories. It can be helpful to begin with a few basics and add products as you learn what works best for you and your baby.

A breastfeeding pillow helps position your baby comfortably during feeds, supporting both you and your little one. It can reduce pressure on your back, shoulders and arms while encouraging a more comfortable feeding position. Many parents also find nursing pillows useful for bottle feeding and supervised tummy time as their baby grows.

There's no single right time to introduce a breast pump; it depends on your family's feeding goals. Some parents express milk from the early weeks, while others wait until breastfeeding is well established. A breast pump can provide flexibility, help build a milk supply, or allow other caregivers to assist with feeds. If you have questions about expressing, your midwife or lactation consultant can offer personalised advice.

Once your baby is ready for solids (usually around six months, following your healthcare professional's advice), products like silicone bibs, suction bowls, divided plates, soft spoons, cups and highchair accessories can make mealtimes easier. These products are designed to support self-feeding, reduce mess and help build confidence as your little one develops new skills.

Good hygiene is an important part of bottle feeding. Wash bottles, teats and feeding accessories thoroughly after each use and sterilise them according to current feeding guidelines, particularly during your baby's first year. Bottle brushes, sterilisers and drying racks can help make the process simple and convenient.
