5 Essential Baby Products

2

Babies have their own specific needs, so they also need many things. The list of must-have baby products is very long, including sleeping products, clothes, toys, mother’s accessories, and much more.

However, we will focus on baby foods and cosmetics, as they are essential for making your baby healthy and comfortable. But the top 5 essential baby products we will look at are below in the article.

Formula

Formula milk is an alternative to breast milk. Mothers often feed their babies with it when they want to wean and when they do not have enough breast milk. Moreover, breastfeeding is typically combined with formula milk.

Formula milk is also known as baby formula, infant milk, infant formula, first milk, and false milk. It is taken from 0 to 12 months of age. Infant milk is a dry powder that contains cow’s milk, vitamins, and minerals. You’ll find alternative options suitable for children with soy or cow’s milk allergies, along with traditional formula milk.

And the types of formulas you will find are:

  • First infant milk
  • Goat’s milk formula
  • Hungrier baby formula
  • Anti-reflux formula
  • Comfort formula
  • Lactose-free formula
  • Hypoallergenic formula
  • Follow-on formula
  • Good night milk 
  • Soya milk
  • Toddler milk 

Bottles

Speaking about baby food and infant formula, we should say that as a first-time parent of a newborn, you should have several bottles. With their help, your baby will be able to eat formula milk as well as drink water.

In the beginning, it is advisable to start with 4-ounce baby bottles. When your child starts drinking more water, it is time to change them to 8-ounce baby bottles. Last but not least, it is advisable to buy bottle brushes to help you clean the baby bottle after every feeding.

Baby Soap and Shampoo

From food, we move on to cosmetics, which are just as significant. Baby skin is highly delicate and very sensitive. Very often, babies are prone to redness, itching, the appearance of eczema, and rash. It may be due to improperly selected products.

Above all, choosing only products specifically intended for babies is essential. Pay attention to their composition, avoiding baby cosmetics that have perfumes, parabens, and other more aggressive ingredients in their composition. In this regard, baby soap and baby shampoo are two essential baby products. 

However, when it comes to bathing, it is recommended that you always use small amounts of shampoo or soap so as not to dry out your baby’s delicate skin.

Baby Lotion

Baby lotions are an essential part of baby skin care. They aim to moisturize sensitive skin, as well as to protect it from the influence of the environment. In that case, you must choose baby lotion carefully. Try to read the label and buy products that are intended for babies.

Baby Oil

Baby oil is an additional cosmetic product for babies that will also contribute to moisturizing baby skin. After bathing a baby, these products are used to massage the baby.

Your child will have the chance to relax after the massage, as it’s helpful to do the massage right before bedtime. The benefits of baby massages are many. The biggest among them is that it improves your baby’s sleep, helping him relax and fall asleep quickly.

In conclusion, we will say that you should be careful when choosing baby products for your child. They should be completely safe and made from the most natural ingredients possible.

We recommend that you avoid ingredients such as:

  • Added sugar and preservatives in food
  • Fragrances
  • Synthetic dyes
  • Parabens
  • Phthalates
  • Formaldehyde
  • Propylene glycol
  • Sulphates
