The safety of newborns is the pillar on which decisions to purchase all items must be made. In this case, experts recommend choosing mattresses exclusively made of breathable materials. This will provide greater comfort for the baby, and will also ensure that your newborn’s skin will not suffer from allergic reactions due to rubbing against materials such as latex or foam.

Baby sheets

In a newborn’s room you cannot overlook sheets, pillows, covers and special fabrics to wrap the baby safely, keeping it comfortable at all times. It is very important to choose the right materials and check that the chosen fabrics are breathable. As for the covers, it is recommended that they be waterproof, so that cleaning is faster and more efficient.

One of the most recommended diaper pails is the Ubbi, which is available in different colors to customize according to the style of each room.

Baby bath

A first-aid kit is definitely one of the most important newborn essential in case the baby has minor injuries, chafing or rashes that do not require urgent medical attention. Among the items that it is advisable to keep in a first aid kit are: sterile gauze pads, syringes, saline solutions for the nose, antibiotic cream, thermometer and ointments, among others.

Wet wipes

Wet wipes, especially those that are fragrance-free, are essential for cleaning babies — especially when changing diapers. Wet wipes can prevent chafing and give the newborn a greater sense of comfort. For its use, experts recommend looking for chemical-free or biodegradable options.
