24 Must-Have Baby Products for 2024

The Parker Baby Co has so many great baby gifts sets, including this "Estes Gift Set" which comes with so many baby essentials in beautiful colors!

You get 8 bandana bibs (my personal favorite type of bib), 3 swaddles (every mom needs a few swaddles), a car seat/nursing/high chair/shopping cart cover, and 4 burp cloths!

This set makes an amazing baby gift and includes items that are genuinely useful!

If you can only buy one thing for your new 2024 baby, let this bassinet be IT! The Graco Sense2Snooze Bassinet is an affordable Snoo alternative that is a game-changer for getting babies to sleep!

I have this exact bassinet and let me tell you, it was invaluable with my baby! I used it for months and absolutely love it!

Plug it in and it will keep your baby moving all night long. The movement helped my son to sleep so much better than a stationary bassinet.

My best friend is pregnant now and due in 2024 and it's what I've told her she needs to have too!

This adorable one-piece outfit for baby is made from 100% organic cotton. The soft cashmere will feel so soft against baby's skin and the buttons add such an adorable touch. It features snaps along the crotch for easy diaper changes plus it's machine washable. This is one of those outfits you'll put on your baby over and over again!

I'm loving this infant car seat from Peg Perego! Why? Well, I have used quite a few different infant car seats over the years and this one has some fabulous features like no-rethread straps, a super easy-to-install base, adjustable side-impact protection, European belt path (better seat belt installation), and premium fabrics.

This is a great first car seat for your baby!

Your baby must have a cotton muslin blanket from Little Unicorn! I absolutely LOVE all of my muslin blankets from them!

Little Unicorn quilted throws are extra large, making them perfect to wrap up baby on cold nights or spread on the floor for a clean play space. I even love having these around to use myself when curling up on the couch.

This particular pattern is called "Meadow" but they have so many great ones to choose from!

These blankets get softer with every wash - you're gonna love it!

I thought swaddling was overrated with my first two babies. Then I decided to give it a try with my 3rd and I've been doing it ever since! It helps SO MUCH with the startle reflex that they all have. Instead of waking up when you lay them down to sleep, the swaddle helps them to feel snug and secure and keep sleeping.

These organic baby swaddles from Keababies are soft, and just what you need! They have multiple color options to choose from, including this set that's perfectly gender-neutral.

A video monitor is one of my top must-have items for baby! They are SO helpful and way better than the old audio-only monitors of the past!

The VAVA video monitor has a large 5” HD display, a range of 900 feet, two-way talk system, nightvision, and uses a wireless connection.

You can have this monitor set up and ready to go in less than 5 minutes!

I have found that a sleep sound machine is so helpful when trying to get your baby to nap better.

Babies like background sounds - and sound with variations are ideal - because they are used to having it in the womb 24/7.

This sound machine features 8 neuroscientist-designed soundtracks to choose from (classical, lullaby, nature, and womb) and can be set for 30, 60, 90 minutes, or even continuous play.

This amazing new car seat from Graco is a ground-breaking 5-in-1 car seat that's designed to fit children ranging from infant to 12 years old! The Graco 4Ever DLX Grad 5-in-1 Slim Car Seat definitely deserves a place on your baby registry!

It seamlessly transforms from rear-facing harness (4-40 lb) to forward-facing harness (22-65 lb) to highback booster (40-100 lb) to backless booster (40-120 lb) to seat belt trainer (50-120 lb).

I'm currently using this seat as a rear-facing harness seat for my 3-year-old AND using the seat belt trainer with my 11-year-old. I can't say enough good things about it!

This car seat is 10% slimmer than the 4Ever DLX (compared at cup holders) saving space in the backseat with plenty of room to grow it also installs in less than a minute with SnugLock® technology!

And, I've saved the best feature for last - it has Graco's Rapid Remove machine-washable cover. That means you can remove it in 60 seconds, without uninstalling the seat! This feature is a game-changer! Believe it or not, I had to wash the cover the very first time my son rode in it (yes, I'm serious - potty training is so fun, ha ha) and it was SO easy to do!

We love this new seat and I highly recommend it!

Whether you give your baby breastmilk, formula, or a combination of the two, you're going to need a few burp cloths. Some of my babies have spit up more than others, but all of them have spit up pretty consistently for the first few months.

I love the shape of the burp clothes from Little Unicorn. They fit perfectly over a shoulder plus they are super absorbant and soft thanks to the cotton muslin.

There are so many great patterns and colors to choose from. This set is Floral Field + Driftwood.

Growing up I was a big for of The Very Hungry Caterpillar book and I'm delighted to see that they've come out with an adorable lineup of toys, clothing, and baby gear based around the book!

This picnic basket playset is a great toy option for new babies! It features the sounds and textures that babies love! It's also absolutely adorable too!

A first rattle is a must for any new baby and this adorable elephant rattle is simply irresistible!

Not only are these rattles perfectly shaped for small hands to grasp, it also has a stimulating rattle sound. Made with soft fabrics and unique prints, the Lullaby Friends Rattles are packed in a beautiful gift box, perfect for giving.

This sweet elephant stuffie is the perfect first friend for any baby, and is a great companion as they grow up too.

He is made from soft cloth that makes him perfect for cuddling with. This elephant will also play a calm lullaby when you pull the tail!

I am totally in love with this little fella and so is my little one. He's a must have stuffie and lovey in one.

The My first bunny is the perfect baby shower gift (and I can't wait to give it to my niece as they're expecting their first baby in Spring of 2024)!

Perfectly designed for small hands to hold and cuddle, it features a soft, plush quality and has a colored ribbon around the neck.

The beautiful gift box packaging even has a space where you can add baby's birth information inside! Seriously unique, this gift is one that will definitely be cherished.

Getting this touchless thermometer was life-changing for me! I'm so glad I don't have to use any of the other types of thermometers anymore!

This one is so easy to use with squirming babies and toddlers that try to fight you off. You can even use it to measure the temperature of food/liquid before serving them to your child.

Every parent needs one of these!

For anyone with hard floors (like me) Cushmat foam mats are a must! This gives your baby a softer surface to play, crawl and fall (which sadly is eventually going to happen many times as they learn to walk).

Cushmats are large (78"x55"), wipeable, and reversible, featuring two different fun prints! You'll want to get a few for multiple rooms!

I first experienced a Kyte product last year at Christmas when I received some of their pajamas and WOW! All I can say is that the fabric is SO soft and cozy. Those are my favorite pair of pajamas! Ever!

Because of that, naturally, I had to add their zippered footies and matching hats to this list.

Your baby will be adorable AND cozy! These sleepers are made from 97% Bamboo Rayon and 3% Spandex. They feature a double zipper for easy diaper changes. It comes in tons of different colors and prints - you're going to want to order a few!

And don't forget a matching hat for Instagram-worthy pictures and, of course, keeping baby warm.

This year I tried out a new brand of diapers - Freestyle Diapers - and I have really loved them! I especially love that you can subscribe and get them delivered right to your door! They have really cute prints too. They also have wipes!

The thing I love about Feltman Brothers is that their items are heirloom quality. These are the kind of pieces you will tuck away in a box to pass down to future children and grandchildren.

I love this simple yet elegant baby blanket. It's available with a pink or blue ribbon.

If you're having a little girl then you will need a couple of fabulous dresses for her! I love the timeless styles at Feltman Brothers! They are perfect for photographs of your little girl!

This adorable dress is available in blue or pink and sizes 3M-4T - you'll want it in both colors!

The ultimate gift set, any new mom will love this ribbed gift set that includes a matching sleeper, blanket, and hat, all inside a reusable ribbed bag! It's available in a gender-neutral oat color, blue, and mauve.

As a mom of 7, I learned pretty early on that babies don't really NEED shoes until they start walking (and even then, they don't need them at home). It's much better for their development to go barefoot as much as possible.

However, once walking begins, they are going to need shoes when you leave your house. I love these shoes from Stonz because they feature grippy heels while still being soft and flexible for growing feet and offer support to their little ankles. The stretchy elastic bands make them easy to get on even the wiggliest baby.

Having a sick baby is just horrible. No one wants that. Sickness often seems to come out of nowhere, and I have learned over the years that it's best to have medicine already in my cupboard before my baby gets sick.

I love Mommy's Bliss medicines for my babies because they are organic. The ingredients are all things I can actually pronounce and best of all, they really work!

Baby's usually go through a lot of bodysuits! Young Eden has some adorable bodysuits, like this cute sloth one! Not only are they cute, they are made from 100% organic cotton using non-toxic, water-based inks. They are available in sizes ranging from newborn all the way up to 18 months.
