3 Essentials You Won't Want to Be Without When You Have a Newborn
The shopping list can feel endless when preparing for your life with a newborn! We get it. We've created a Top-3 list of must-haves for new parents.
No. 1: Baby Nest
Are you expecting a little one? In just a few years, the baby nest has reached the top three must-have items that expecting parents purchase before their baby arrives. And we get why!
A baby nest provides a safe and cosy space for your newborn, designed to mimic the feeling of being in the womb, offering a sense of security and comfort.
But what should you consider when choosing a baby nest? We’ve got all the answers and more in our Baby Nest Q&A.
5 Helpful Tips for Choosing a Baby Nest
1: Check if the baby nest is closed all the way around and if the drawstrings are securely hidden. This increases safety.
2: Choose a baby nest with handles so you can use it at home and on the go.
3: Make sure the mattress is washable — this will help you quickly handle everyday accidents.
4: Pockets are practical for storing things like pacifiers and muslin cloths.
5: A multifunctional product extends the time you can use it.

No. 2: Nursing Pillow
A nursing pillow doesn’t just make breastfeeding more comfortable — it can also be used as support when your baby is learning to sit and as a tummy time pillow for neck training.
Many parents find it indispensable — even if they’re not breastfeeding!
If you choose a Sebra nursing pillow, the practical tie straps keep the pillow securely around your waist, offering a sense of security and control.
No. 3: Muslins
Many parents only realize how essential muslins are once they’re in the middle of everyday life — so it’s a good idea to have at least 10–15 ready from the start!
Did you know that muslins aren’t only for diaper changes — they’re also perfect as burp cloths, changing pads, and comfort blankets?
The Sebra muslins are pre-washed, giving you three ultra-soft muslins ready to use immediately.
Baby nest, muslin cloths, duvet, changing pad, nursing pillow… the list is endless when you're getting ready for your life with a newborn.
Find your favourites — ones that are beautiful and work perfectly in your daily life.
