New Mom Must-Haves: 7 Essentials for Mother’s Day

Posted by Active Baby Canadian Online Baby Store on 2023 May 12th

Mother’s Day is just around the corner and it’s the perfect time to show the special mom/mom-to-be in your life how much you love her. For new moms, having the right baby products and gear can make all the difference in their daily routine. Here are some Mother’s Day must-haves, including baby products and gear that will make any new mom’s life a little bit easier.

1. Baby Carrier

A baby carrier is a must-have for any new mom. She can carry her baby hands-free while still being able to move around and get things done. A good baby carrier should be comfortable for both mom and baby and provide support for the baby’s neck and back. The Ergobaby Omni 360 is a great choice, it has multiple carrying positions and is designed to grow with your baby from newborn to toddler.

2. Breast Pump

For breastfeeding moms, a breast pump is a must-have. It allows her to pump milk when she’s away from her baby or when she needs to build up a supply. The Medela Pump In Style is a popular breast pump designed for daily use by breastfeeding moms. It has a double electric pump that allows moms to express milk from both breasts at the same time, saving time and increasing milk production.

3. Diaper Bag

A diaper bag is a must-have for any mom on-the-go. It should be big enough to hold all the essentials, diapers, wipes and extra clothes but also be stylish and comfortable to carry. The Herschel Backpack Diaper Bag is a great choice, it has plenty of storage pockets, a changing pad and a stylish design that looks like a regular backpack.

4. Nursing Pillow

For breastfeeding moms, a nursing pillow can make feeding time more comfortable for both mom and baby. The Snuggle Me Feeding + Support Pillow is a popular choice, it provides support for multiple activities, nursing, bottle feeding, sitting up, tummy time and even as a toddler pillow.

5. Baby Monitor

A baby monitor is a must-have for any new mom. It allows her to keep an eye on her baby while she’s sleeping or playing in another room. The Hubble - Nursery Pal Premium serves as a dual purpose, an interactive viewer for parents and an educational/entertainment tablet for infants. With a 5'' HD touchscreen, it has remote pan and tilt functions, live streaming and even a protective bumper and flashlight.

6. Baby Swing

A baby swing is a lifesaver for moms who need to get things done around the house. It provides a safe and comfortable place for the baby to relax and play while soothing them with gentle swinging motions. The 4Moms Rockaroo Baby Swing is a popular choice, it has five speed options and built-in sounds and MP3 compatibility.

7. Baby Wrap

A baby wrap is another must-have for new moms. It allows her to keep her baby close while freeing up her hands. The Beluga Baby Wrap is made from sustainable bamboo fabric and has a unique four-way stretch. It can help soothe gas and colic, comfort your baby, promote bonding and even reduce crying by 40% during the first year of life. Made for both baby and parent, this wrap is a comfortable and sustainable solution to enhance the bond between parent and child.

So there you have it, these Mother’s Day must-haves will make any new mom’s life easier. A baby carrier, a breast pump and a diaper bag! Active Baby is your top Canadian Online Baby Store with store locations in Langley, Kitsilano & North Vancouver.
