Whether you’re looking for the perfect baby shower gift or are about to become a new parent yourself, a newborn baby gift guide can be super helpful in the seemingly-endless sea of “must-have” products. So we’ve curated this newborn gift guide just for you, exclusively from products available on Amazon — so your shopping experience is easy and hassle-free (and, if you’re a Prime member, shipping is free too!). These are the tried-and-true, field-tested products that parents say are essentials, things that make life with a new baby easier and more comfortable … because it can definitely be a hard adjustment.

Speaking of Amazon and must-have baby products, parents-to-be can use our new baby gift guide suggestions to create an Amazon baby registry so it’s even easier for friends and family to fulfill their wish list. An Amazon baby registry has a ton of perks that traditional baby registries don’t: a welcome box full of cool stuff, a 15% discount on registry items (saving up to $300!), free one-year returns, a group-gifting option so people can pool their funds for bigger-ticket items, and a diaper fund that people can contribute to. Not to mention the huge variety of products offered, which means there’s something for every taste and every budget.

Without further ado, we present the SheKnows newborn baby gift guide: your no-B.S. roadmap to bypassing the overwhelm of shopping (and registering!) for the best baby products. Having a baby is hard. Getting ready for one should be easy!

There’s nothing worse than knowing your baby is uncomfortable — and nothing better than solving the problem within minutes! These newborn-safe, pediatrician-recommended Little Remedies Gas Relief Drops relieve the pain of excess gas … and, therefore, the fussing that goes along with it.
