Whether you're preparing for your first baby or filling out your registry, this is where to start. This collection brings together the essential baby accessories for every stage of the first year — covering the three things new moms reach for most: feeding, play, and life on the go.

For feeding and nursing, you'll find organic muslin nursing pillows and pillow covers, nursing covers, muslin swaddle blankets, burp cloths, and breastfeeding bundles sized for the fourth trimester. For playtime and development, shop portable inside/outside play mats and nap mats built for tummy time. And for every outing in between, browse insulated cooler bags for breast milk, stroller accessories, wet/dry bags, and zipper pouch sets — all designed to work together.

Everything is designed thoughtfully — built to be beautiful, functional, and worth the space in your diaper bag.

What Baby Accessories Do You Actually Need for the First Year?

Most first-time moms over-buy in some categories and under-buy in others. For feeding and nursing, the items that consistently get used every single day are a good nursing pillow (and a washable cover), a generous supply of muslin burp cloths — most moms recommend at least 8–10 — and an easy-to-use nursing cover if you plan to breastfeed outside the home. For play, a portable baby play mat that works for both tummy time and independent play is more useful than a fixed activity gym. And for outings, the most practical combination is a quick-change kit paired with a compact insulated cooler bag if you're pumping or breastfeeding. If you're building a registry, our Muslin Breastfeeding Bundle and Essentials Baby Bundle both cover multiple categories at a meaningful discount — a good place to start before adding individual items.
