The arrival of a new baby brings with it a lot of joy and excitement, but also a plethora of choices for the right baby accessories. Whether you’re a new parent or just adding to your baby’s wardrobe, choosing the right accessories can make life just that little bit easier and more enjoyable. Here, we present a roundup of the must-have baby accessories that every new parent should consider, with a special focus on our top picks, including muslin cloths, washcloths, headbands, hats, bibs, bonnets, pacifier holders, and hair clips.
1. Hydrophilic Cloths
Why you need them: Muslin cloths are a must-have for any new parent. Perfect for wiping away spit-ups or cleaning up little accidents, these versatile cloths also make great soft blankets for your baby. They’re made from breathable muslin cotton, making them super absorbent and quick-drying. At Muni Baby, we only stock organic cotton muslin cloths. Better for your baby and better for the environment.
Our top pick: Choose hydrophilic cloths with a cute print, like our teddy bear or heart print or a neutral color that you can easily combine with other baby accessories. They are also easy to wash and stay soft, even after multiple washes.
2. Mouth wipes
Why you need them: Specially designed to catch saliva and small spills during feedings and drinks, baby wipes help keep your baby’s clothes clean and prevent fluids from getting on your baby’s skin.
Our top pick: Go for soft muslin cloth , which feels gentle on your baby’s skin and is absorbent. They often feature a clever closure or comfort fit to keep them in place.
3. Hairbands and Hairpins
Why you need them: Even though babies often don't have hair yet, headbands and barrettes are a cute way to accessorize your baby's outfit. They can also be a practical tool for older babies with a little more hair.
Our top pick: Opt for soft headbands and hair clips that won't put pressure on your baby's head. They come in a variety of colors and styles, so you can coordinate them with your baby's outfit.
4. Hats or Bonnets
Why you need them: Hats or bonnets are essential for your baby's first months. They help regulate your baby's body temperature and protect against cold and drafts.
Our top pick: Choose hats or bonnets made of breathable, soft material like cotton or wool. They should fit well without being too tight and should be easy to put on and take off.
The difference between a hat and bonnets is that a bonnet has strings with which you can attach the bonnet to the head, so that it does not fall off every time.
5. Bibs
Why you need them: Bibs are a feeding essential. They protect your baby’s clothes from spills and leaks, and help clean up any messes during mealtime.
Our top pick: Look for bibs made from soft, absorbent materials like muslin or cotton. Adjustable closures and a good fit are also important to ensure they stay put.
7. Pacifier Cuddles
Why you need them: Pacifier soft toys combine the benefits of a pacifier with a soft, cuddly toy. They can help soothe your baby and provide a comforting presence while they sleep.
Our top pick: Choose pacifier toys with a safe and soft pacifier, and a toy made from hypoallergenic materials. They should be easy to wash and safe for your baby to play with.
