Have you ever seen those memes that list all the things mamas love, then dare you to pick only three from the list? They often name things like yoga pants, coffee, and Netflix. But you’ll notice that Amazon is never on those memes. No way are any mamas ruling that one out — and it’s because SO many of us rely heavily on the courier giant that delivers anything your heart desires (or needs!) in a speedy 48-hour timeframe. While putting go-to’s in your cart the next time you’re online, consider adding these 50 products!
50 Products on Amazon Every Mom Needs
1. A Great Umbrella Stroller
We love this stroller for how lightweight and durable it is! It weighs less than 10 pounds and has a UPF50+ sun canopy. It is seriously a game-changer for travel or any place where a lot of walking (read: melting down and being generally over it) with a toddler is involved.
2. Diaper Pail Refills
We don’t know who needs to hear this right now, but you might be almost out of diaper pail refills: get them in two days flat. This value pack has 75 bags and can hold up to 3,150 newborn diapers! These are scent-free and work well with the Ubbi Diaper Pail, though it fits many others as well.
3. A Device That Actually Follows Directions
Alexa might be the only thing or person in your house who ACTUALLY listens, so make her keep working for you! Try this (extremely cool) Echo Show speaker and smart display with Alexa. You can ask Alexa to stream music, call your family, show you your to-do list, and more!
4. Buttery Soft, Affordable Leggings
Amazon might not be known for fashion per se, but its steals on great basics should not be overlooked. These have many positive reviews and are total dupes for more expensive brands. And they come in multiple colors! Mama’s got style (for under $25)!
5. Snacks on Snacks . . . on Snacks
Who doesn’t love and need plenty of snacks? Moms know to stay armed with the best, and you can have your favorites delivered in bulk right to your door. We recommend these KIND Bars because they’re delicious and nutritious!
6. Something Cool for Wine-Down Time
If you aren’t spending some time filling your own proverbial — and literal — cup, you can’t be the best mom for your kids. Do yourself a favor and get one of these fantastic stainless steel wine tumblers. The double-walled vacuum insulation will keep your wine nice and cold!
7. A Much-Needed Ice Roller
We were serious about that whole “take care of yourself” thing. And we know that self-care for moms is more than skincare, but it’s not a bad place to start. This ice roller can help with eye bags, wrinkles, redness, migraines, and more!
8. A Ridiculous but Practical Piece of Exercise Equipment
It’s like an elliptical machine, but compact! What’s not to love? It can fit in small spaces and is super easy to assemble. Hop on during an episode of “Paw Patrol” (or, better yet, “The Bachelor”) and get your daily steps in! Don’t believe us? Read the hundreds of five-star reviews.
9. A Reminder to SLOW. IT. DOWN.
Being busy is glorified in our culture, but it can seriously leave mamas feeling overwhelmed and ragged if it becomes the norm. This sweet little book encourages 5 minutes of daily mindfulness for busy moms. It’s also another gentle reminder to take time for yourself.
10. Fun Summer Reads
Summertime and longer days are perfect for finding a great read! We recommend “How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids” by Jancee Dunn. It’s as candid as it is hilarious! This is the perfect option for any mom looking for a fun but helpful leisure book.
11. SPF for Momma and Baby
Talk to your pediatrician about when it’s appropriate for your little one to wear sunscreen. But in the meantime, this stuff is very gentle and has a high SPF for mommas in that fourth trimester and struggling with the changes that postpartum hormones can have on the skin. This sunscreen will give you natural protection on those hot summer days and year-round!
12. The Ergobaby Omni 360 All-Position Carrier
The hardest part about being a new mom is that your baby wants to be held by you constantly . . . but you still have things to do (and maybe other kids to take care of). Enter the Ergobaby Omni 360. This bad boy will last you for years and allow you to regain productivity while allowing your baby to snuggle close.
13. Luxury Hand Cream
French hand cream. Need we say more? These trio sets feature subtle yet luxurious scents like cherry almond, wild fig, and winter flower. With all the handwashing we’re probably doing, our hands could use some hand cream. And what mommy doesn’t need one of Oprah’s favorite hand creams?
14. A Fun Pair of Socks
We all love the comfort of a new pair of fuzzy socks! These have a wild animal print, but their neutral color makes them easy to wear with everyday clothing. They’re also great for lounging around the house while you sit back, watch a movie, and have some me-time.
15. A Baby Sun Hat = Freedom
While we recommend that babies and not their moms wear this product, sometimes there’s nothing like a little vitamin D to help boost everyone’s mood during the long, hard hours of the first year. Pop this hat on your baby and head outside, mama. You deserve it.
16. “My First Book of Baby Signs” Book
Have you ever seen a parent look at their crying baby in exasperation and exclaim, “What do you want? I wish you could tell me what you want!” This book could help moms prevent hours of frustrated temper tantrums. It helps children learn sign language to communicate their most basic needs before they’re physically able to speak.
17. A Rolling Organizer Cart
Rolling carts are great for keeping your things organized! You can use them to store makeup, books, plants, and any other items. Set one up in your bedroom, bathroom, office, or even your kids’ room to make your space a bit neater. The wheels also make the cart easy to move around within the house.
18. A Countertop Ice Maker
If you want to splurge a little, you need this smart ice maker that will fit right on your countertop! This device connects to WiFi and allows you to schedule fresh ice. It also works with Alexa for voice control. And don’t be fooled by its size — it can make 24 pounds of ice daily!
19. Ahhh — The Perfect Massage
The thing nobody says about taking care of babies is that they are pretty darn heavy, despite their tiny size. They can — quite literally — be a pain in the neck to care for all day and night. When your little one is causing your neck and shoulders to seize up, you’ll be so happy you have this heated, deep-tissue massager to help you!
20. Lactation Cookies
Before you got pregnant, lactation cookies might have sounded a little crazy, if not a little gross, to you. However, if you’re a breastfeeding mom trying to keep her supply up, you must try this. Lactation cookies come in various flavors and include essential ingredients like oatmeal, brewer’s yeast, and flax.
21. A Donut Pillow, Because Giving Birth Hurts
Okay, time to get real, mama. If you had a tear during vaginal birth, it will be a while before you can sit in a chair — especially a wooden chair — comfortably. A donut pillow helps tremendously by relieving the pressure on your perineum. This cushion fits most seats and can provide relief if you need to sit for long periods of the day.
22. A 40-Ounce Tumbler
Hydration is vital for everyone, but it is crucial for new mommies. You’re tired, focused on the baby, and doing a million other things. Having a giant cup full of ice water ready to go at all times is one way to encourage yourself to drink more water. Believe us. You won’t be able to get up and down to fill smaller glasses like you were before!
23. “The Montessori Baby” Book
“The Montessori Baby” book will probably be something most of your other mom friends have read or at least want to hear about. Montessori is a method of teaching older children that empowers them to make their own choices, take ownership, and increase their confidence in daily tasks. “The Montessori Baby” teaches you how to nurture your little ones now to empower them in the future!
24. An Inflatable Bathtub
An inflatable bathtub is not necessarily for mom (unless you want to soak your feet because that’s a great hidden use for this product), but it’s a lifesaver once your baby is about 6 months or older. Although some parents like the idea of filling up the tub and having lots of toys for their child to play around with at bath time, the reality is that bath time doesn’t last very long for a baby, and it’s an immense pain to clean up a whole tub every night. Try this smaller version and save yourself a boatload of time!
25. A Postpartum Recovery Essentials Kit
Ah, the things no one tells you about until you’re ready to give birth. This postpartum recovery kit is invaluable. INVALUABLE. If you’re birthing your baby in a hospital, you may be able to get many of these items already, but they may be cheaper (or just nicer) to have at home upon your return!
26. A Helpful Formula Holder
Whether you’re exclusively breastfeeding (or even exclusively bottle-feeding), it’s a good idea to keep some formula at home and in your diaper bag in case of emergencies. Many new moms struggle with postpartum anxiety and have the fear, “What if something happens to me?” Having food available for your baby will help ease your mind, just in case. This container makes that simple!
27. A Leg and Foot Massager
You probably spend many hours feeding or rocking your baby in a chair, right? Why not increase circulation and get a massage with this leg massager simultaneously? Bonus: If you struggle with restless leg syndrome, this can help relieve your symptoms and allow you to get a good night’s rest when your baby isn’t waking you up.
28. Compression Socks
Can’t splurge for the compression massager? That’s alright! The good news is that compression socks have similar benefits and are often recommended to be worn after birth (but talk to your medical provider when deciding). These specialized socks increase circulation, prevent swelling and pain, improve comfort, and help you recover faster.
29. Toy Safety Straps
Trust us when we tell you these things are a lifesaver for moms who like to take their kids anywhere besides the living room. Attach your baby’s toys, bottles, pacifiers, and more to the end of the strap, and then attach the other side to your stroller or car seat. Good news when your baby throws something: you don’t have to pick it up because it can’t hit the floor!
30. Baby Booties That Stay On
Have you ever tried to keep socks on a baby? Forget it! Save yourself the headache of repeatedly putting on your child’s socks, and opt for some booties with a snap instead. These cute booties come in several colors. And you’ll only have to apply them once.
31. A Nursing Cover That Doubles as a Scarf
Nursing covers can be kind of . . . well . . . weird-looking and cumbersome. A nursing cover that doubles as a scarf is a must for any mama who needs something else for her look when she’s out and wants to be ready to nurse at a moment’s notice. No fishing around in the diaper bag with this one!
32. A Bottle Warmer
Whether you’re breastfeeding or formula-feeding, this thing is awesome. Instead of spending forever getting milk to the right temperature at the sink, fill up your bottle, set it, and return when it’s ready. It’s as simple as that and works with tons of different bottles.
33. A Comfy Sports Bra
Sports bras are also a must-have! This wire-free, longline sports bra from The Gym People provides medium support and is made of soft material that will keep you comfy. It’s also sweat-wicking, so it’ll help you stay dry during your workouts. And Amazon carries it in tons of colors!
34. Handy Packing Cubes
These water-resistant packing cubes keep your luggage tidy and make traveling with your family much easier. The set comes with eight storage containers, each with a specific purpose, such as carrying socks, underwear, makeup, shoes, or laundry. Having your items in their dedicated container will help you stay organized!
35. Comfortable Pajamas
Raise your hand if you don’t need new pajamas. Yeah. Nobody raised their hand. As a new mama, you deserve a pair of these soft, stretchy, and brand-new PJs. You can choose from many colors and patterns, and the waist is elastic!
36. The SNOO Smart Sleeper
The SNOO Smart Sleeper is like the Mercedes Benz of bassinets. Manufacturers claim that the SNOO boosts sleep by one to two or more hours as it moves and soothes your baby to sleep in a gentle rocking motion, similar to what your baby experienced in the womb. And it helps moms get some solid stretches of sleep! Best of all, your baby sleeps safely on their back no matter what.
37. Flowy Maxi Dresses
Your postpartum body is beautiful, but it’s probably different from your pre-baby body, and that can be a source of stress for many new moms. Give yourself a break, first of all. And then give yourself some clothes with a little room to breathe. Maxi dresses are a great way to feel feminine again without wearing clothes that fit tightly around your body before you feel ready.
38. The Hatch Baby Rest Sound Machine
This is a sound machine and night light that moms love because it grows with your baby and is super smart. The Hatch Baby Rest helps you establish sleep routines and create ideal environments for your child’s sleep. When your child is a toddler, this can help them understand when they should stay in bed and when it’s late enough to wake you up in the morning by changing colors.
39. An Ergonomic Footrest
This ergonomic footrest improves leg circulation, relieving neck and back pain. It looks like it belongs in an office, but honestly, after all the hours you’ll spend on the couch holding your baby, you’ll be grateful for a little help to get into a comfortable position. Especially if your feet tend to dangle off your couch, trust us when we say invest in this to save your poor back.
40. A Nasal Aspirator
This is one of those “Eww, I would never use that” products you see before you have kids. But after your child is born and that first cold hits, you’re so thankful you have one on hand. No, your child’s boogers will never get to your mouth, but you can use the power of suction to remove mucus from their tiny noses when they need it most! Want to feel like a super mom? Get this thing.
41. Gourmet Chocolates
This product doesn’t need much explanation. You just had a baby, and you deserve a little pampering. Think of this box of chocolates as the best Valentine’s Day candy you’ve ever had, and multiply that times 100. Come on, what mommy doesn’t deserve a whole pound (or two) of chocolate?
42. Under Eye Patches for Puffiness
You’ve probably felt tired before, but you may not have been the baby-kept-me-up-all-night-and-I-still-have-to-work-all-day tired yet. While no one has the magic antidote to getting your baby to sleep every night, these eye masks can help mask the appearance of puffiness or dark circles caused by lack of sleep. They’re enriched with hyaluronic acid and collagen to help fight wrinkles.
43. Scrunchies
File this under the most practical gift for a new mom, maybe ever. Who doesn’t need scrunchies when they’re home with a baby? Unless you have super short hair, stock up on a few of these scrunchies! You will rock that new-mommy messy bun, girl.
44. A Lightweight, Foldable Play Yard
The key to getting out of the house and seeing your friends again after having a baby is being able to let them play at your friends’ houses safely. If you’re a mom surrounded by veteran moms, you may not need this. But if you’re among the first in your friend group to have a child, this portable play yard isn’t a want. It’s a need!
45. A Portable White Noise Machine
There is nothing that ruins a trip to Target when your baby is napping like a sudden, loud noise. Your sweet sleeping angel gets startled and starts to cry, and the whole trip is canceled just like that. However, with a portable sound machine like this, you can reduce the chances of startling noises for your little babe. Just charge it and attach it to your stroller or car seat!
46. Apple AirTags
Life can be hectic sometimes, and things easily get lost. These AirTags will help you keep track of your items, so you can spend less time searching the house for your keys or wallet. How does it work? Connect the AirTag to your phone or tablet and attach it to your valuables. It’ll use Bluetooth to help you find any of your lost items!
47. A Monthly Milestone Blanket
Looking for the perfect way to document your baby’s growth? Monthly milestone blankets make getting the pictures you’re dying to share fun and easy. This one is 100% organic cotton, the perfect size, and gender-neutral. Plus, it also doubles as a playmat for your baby!
48. The Revlon Hair Dryer and Hot Air Brush
Finding time to do your hair as a new mom is tough. Why not get speed on your side with this Revlon Hair Dryer + Hot Air Brush? It’s volumizing, reduces frizz, and significantly speeds up hair drying. It also gives you less heat damage!
49. Reusable Perineal Cooling Pads
If you delivered a child vaginally (or labored and got close), these pads will be a lifesaver for your perineum as you recover. Not even the hospital will give you gel pads like this. Instead, they’ll give you crushed ice. Bonus: the covers are machine washable, and you can use these to help with aches and pains for years.
50. Organic Candles
How about a little aromatherapy? Fill your house with delicious, baby-friendly scents by using organic candles. This pineapple evergreen candle by Lulu Candles is made of soy and one of many gorgeous scents! These candles are also slow-burning, meaning they’ll last for a while.
There are millions of products on Amazon for moms that could make our list, but this jumping-off point should remind you of a few things: buy yourself something when you can, take the time to appreciate things small and large, and remember that the necessities are almost always about to run out — so buy the diaper pail refills.
