There is hardly anything more significant in life than becoming a parent. One little one turns your entire world upside down—in the best way possible. The first few weeks with a newborn are filled with love, sleepless nights, and a brand-new routine. When this new life begins, having the right baby equipment at hand is a fantastic gift. That's why we've put together a practical guide on what you might need—and, of course, selected our absolute favorites from the best brands available on our webshop.

Welcome to a wonderful new journey in life!

Everything for Changing Time – How to Create a Safe and Practical Changing Area for Baby

The changing area quickly becomes the center for many hours—both for diaper and clothing changes and some cozy moments. Therefore, having good and practical changing accessories is essential when you have your new baby. With us, you'll find everything you need to make the changing area both practical and cozy, from soft changing pads to delightful washcloths, changing bags, and great practical storage solutions.

I remember my early days as a new mom and the quiet yet sometimes chaotic moments at the changing area. It was there I cherished the most precious moments with my baby. With soft muslins, warm hands, and sleepy eyes, I got to know my child, one diaper change at a time. I quickly realized the importance of having a good changing area—with everything within reach, a washable changing pad, and small baskets for creams and spare clothes. When time blurred and sleep was scarce, those moments at the changing table stood out as some of the most present and loving in the entire early days.

Comfortable and Functional Changing Pads – Create the Perfect Changing Station

A good changing pad makes a world of difference—for both your baby and for practical comfort and easy cleaning. We have a large and exciting selection of both functional and stylish changing pads that cater to different needs and unique changing areas. A good changing pad should be both practical and aesthetically pleasing, if you ask me.

Personally, we had our changing table prominently placed in the living room, so it could be open when guests visited. Therefore, it was important to me that it was not only functional but also fit our home, allowing us to maintain a cozy and inviting space.

Our top recommendation for a beautiful and practical changing pad comes from Cam Cam Copenhagen, which is a lovely changing cushion made from molded PUR foam (polyurethane) and comes in a variety of fine neutral colors. The cushion has no cover that you have to hassle with removing and washing, but instead, it can easily be cleaned with a damp cloth between each diaper change. The same goes for the popular changing pad from Sebra, which also combines high functionality with minimalist design and shares the same features. The choice between these two is mostly about personal style, as both models are practical, durable, and easy to keep clean—a huge advantage in a busy routine with diapers and baby bottoms.

If you prefer changing pads in a different style, we of course have many other types of cushions and pads in our selection. View them all here.

Elegant Changing Dresser – Practical Storage and Comfortable Changing Time

A good changing dresser can be a significant investment, but one that makes life with a baby easier and more manageable. It provides a fixed, ergonomic space for diaper changes and stores all the essentials within arm’s reach. We have carefully selected the best changing dressers we believe are on the market, combining functionality with beautiful design, so they can stand out without disrupting the decor, with a fine aesthetic appearance that fits the modern home.

We especially recommend the beautiful and practical changing dressers from Oliver Furniture, available in both large spacious versions and in sizes that better fit small spaces or smaller apartments. All Oliver Furniture changing dressers come with practical solutions where details are truly considered, featuring a removable changing top, allowing the furniture to be used later as a regular dresser once the changing period is over. This gives the furniture longevity, making it a sustainable solution that is both practical and appealing. See them here.

Muslins and Baby Swaddles – Indispensable Everyday Helpers

If you ask me and other experienced parents, muslins almost always top the list of essential must-haves! They can be used as a shade, bib, nursing cover, cuddle cloth—anything! So make sure to stock up plenty of muslins, ensuring you don’t run out of this practical and indispensable product you'll undoubtedly use multiple times a day.

With us, you'll find both soft, cute, and luxurious muslins with both adorable patterns and in neutral earth tones from CamCam, Konges sløjd, Sebra , and Oyoy. A soft baby swaddle is also perfect for providing comfort at bedtime.

Pacifiers, Pacifier Chains, and Our Favorite from Bibs

A pacifier can be worth its weight in gold—for both baby and parents! For us, it was indeed an indispensable helper in the early months when calm and comfort needed to be found amidst cries, lack of sleep, and new routines. There are many different types of pacifiers, and it can be challenging to find the right one that suits your child, sometimes requiring a bit of trial and error to find the most qualified pacifier.

With years of experience, we particularly recommend the pacifiers from the Danish brand BIBS!

BIBS are among the most popular pacifiers—and for good reason! They come in several sizes that grow with your child and with different pacifier tips (round, anatomical, and symmetrical), so you can find the one that best fits your child's mouth and sucking technique. This makes it easier for the baby to take the pacifier—and for you to find peace. In addition to functionality, BIBS also offer a range of beautiful colors and patterns, so not only do you get a good ergonomic pacifier, but also a touch of style and aesthetics. To top it all off, BIBS also makes elegant baby bottles in matching colors and designs—so both baby and equipment match down to the finest detail.

Don’t forget a practical pacifier chain, so the pacifiers don’t constantly end up on the floor.

Nursing Pillow – Support, Comfort, and Calm During Nursing

A good nursing pillow is likewise indispensable in the first months with your baby—for both the newborn and new mom. We offer a beautiful selection of ergonomic nursing pillows that provide the support you need when breastfeeding or bottle feeding. A nursing pillow helps relieve your arms, shoulders, and neck, allowing you to sit comfortably and closely with your child—and that makes a world of difference during the many daily feedings.

Our nursing pillows are available in premium materials and beautiful designs that fit nicely into your home decor. Several models also serve as support cushions when baby is lying down or practicing sitting up. Whether you prefer soft organic cotton, neutral colors, or lovely patterns, find it here.

A Faithful Friend: Cuddle Cloths!

When baby needs comfort, a soft cuddle cloth is absolutely indispensable. We especially love the cuddle cloths from Jellycat, known for their incredibly soft quality and adorable designs. Perfect for both nap and play!

My children, aged 9 and 6, still sleep with their cuddle cloth, which they received as babies! Despite years of use and intense cuddling, they remain intact both in appearance and in providing comfort, so here you truly have the opportunity to start a great and comforting relationship for your baby from the beginning.

Sleep Safely in a Voksi Bag

A good Voksi bag is incredibly valuable when you want to ensure that your baby sleeps safely and comfortably. Whether you are at home or out with the pram, a good Voksi bag can be used everywhere. Voksi is known for their high quality, thoughtful design, and soft, breathable materials that envelop your baby with comfort and warmth. These come in various models that function as sleeping bags, carrycots, and stroller bags and can be used in the pram, in your arms, or just as a cozy place to lie down.

Depending on the season, choose a Voksi bag that matches the weather. For warmer times, we recommend the lightweight and airy summer model, designed to keep your baby at an optimal temperature during hot days. It is made of soft, natural materials and is easy to take on the go.

When the cold sets in, it’s time to switch to a warmer model—like the Voksi North, which is lined with wool and keeps your child wonderfully warm, even when the temperatures drop. It's ideal for winter stroller rides, ensuring that the baby stays snug and comfortable, no matter the weather.

Delicious, Organic Baby Bedding

When it comes to your baby's sleep, only the best will do. With us, you'll find the finest and softest bedding for both babies and children from renowned brands. We recommend:

• Konges Sløjd for their aesthetically beautiful bedding made from organic cotton.
• Studio Feder, which offers luxurious and sustainable children's bedding.
• Sebra, where softness and lovely prints go hand-in-hand, allowing baby to sleep soundly..

Baby toys – First Sensory Experiences

Little hands love to grab and explore! Rattles and teething toys are fantastic for stimulating the baby's senses and soothing sore gums. Our selection of baby toys is broad, and we are particularly fond of the activity toys from the Belgian brand Lilliputiens, which combine colors, sounds, and fun textures in countless adorable and cute versions—or check out our baby toys from Baby Einstein, which offer colorful and fun stimulating baby products developed for motor and sensory stimulation of your little one.

Remember the Furniture – Create a Safe and Practical Base for Your Baby

When you’re expecting a little one, it’s not just the equipment that needs to be ready—the furniture is just as crucial to ensure a calm and practical daily life.

The Changing Table

As mentioned earlier in this post, a good changing dresser is indispensable when diapers need changing multiple times a day. Choosing the right changing dresser that will be a permanent fixture in your home for the next few years can be a longer and more considered decision. Choose one of our beautiful models that are not only practical with ample storage for diapers, clothes, and changing accessories, but also add a lovely touch to the nursery.

The Crib

When it comes to sleeping space, a crib or bedside crib is a great choice. If you want your baby to sleep close to you in the first few months, we highly recommend the co-sleeper from Oliver Furniture, which can then be transformed into a beautiful and aesthetically pleasing play bench, making it both smart and sustainable. Every detail is thoughtfully considered, ensuring you get a product with long-lasting use, even as your child quickly outgrows it as a bed.

If you want to invest in a bed that can grow with your child, the Sebra crib or Oliver Furniture Mini+ are excellent choices. Both can be expanded from a crib to a junior bed, so you're investing in a bed with long-term use.

With Oliver Furniture, you can even expand further, so the bed fits a child up to approximately 9 years old, with options for both a bunk bed or loft bed later on. This provides a longer lifespan and is a good investment in the child's comfort for many years ahead. With the included conversion kit, you can easily add extra parts to create both a crib and a junior bed simultaneously, should a little brother or sister arrive.

When It's Time for the First Spoonfuls

Suddenly, time flies—and before you know it, it's time for porridge, puree, and the first small bites. At Lirum Larum Leg, we have a great selection of cute and functional children's tableware that makes mealtimes a bit cozier and more manageable for both baby and parents. Our children's tableware is made from durable and child-friendly materials and comes in the most delightful colors and shapes—perfect for little hands and big meal experiences.

For mealtimes (and teething!), smart and practical bibs are required to keep clothes from getting soaked or stained. We offer soft and flexible bibs that are comfortable for the child to wear—both with and without sleeves. If your little one is self-feeding, we recommend bibs with a food catcher, which helps catch all the food that would otherwise land on the floor, and trust me, there will be plenty.

Don’t Forget Mom!

Having a newborn is all about the baby—but mom deserves a bit of pampering too! It's an important yet often overlooked detail. We have, of course, gathered some favorites, JUST FOR MOM!

• A good changing bag is essential for all the necessities on the go. Find your favorite changing bag with us that is both practical and stylish.
• A good water bottle keeps your water cold all day—perfect for busy days. We recommend a water bottle from Dopper, which is both smart and practical and comes in a variety of fresh colors.
• A lovely pajama adds extra comfort during the many nursing nights. See our selection from Studio Feder and add a touch of luxury to an otherwise busy time.
• Good care products are important in this time when everything is moving quickly, and mom's routines may be disrupted. Rudolph Care's lovely products are great for soothing sore nipples and dry skin.
