The Ultimate Baby Shower List: What Do You REALLY Need?
Let’s face it: when you’re expecting a baby, you’re inundated with advice and must-have lists. Family, friends, and especially baby stores act like you need to turn your entire home into a baby department store. But guess what? You barely use half of those items.
As a parent, you want convenience, quality and products that really make a difference. No nonsense. That's why I've put together this no-nonsense layette list for you: the real essentials you can't live without.
The Basics – You Can't Do It Without This
✅ Baby Bed & Mattress – Your baby will be sleeping a lot (or at least you hope so). Choose a firm mattress that is safe and comfortable.
✅ Car seat – No discussion. In Denmark, an approved car seat is mandatory. Make sure it meets safety standards and is easy to install.
✅ Stroller or Baby Carrier – Whether you’re strolling through Copenhagen or running a quick errand, you need a safe and comfortable way to carry your baby.
✅ Diapers & Wipes – Forget fancy alternatives. Good diapers and soft wipes save you a lot of hassle. Want to be eco-friendly? Reusable diapers are an option.
✅ Bottles & Bottle Warmers – Even if you’re breastfeeding, a bottle can come in handy. A portable bottle warmer (like our model) is a lifesaver on the go.
Handy But Not Must-Haves
👉 Baby nest – Nice for the day, but not essential. Your baby sleeps well in the bed.
👉 Bouncer – Handy, but your baby quickly grows out of it. Not strictly necessary.
👉 Complete dinnerware sets – You don’t need 10 baby plates. A good sippy cup and a few spoons are enough.
Waste of Money – Don't Buy This
🚫 Baby shoes (new born) – Cute, but totally unnecessary. Your baby isn’t walking yet.
🚫 Too many clothes in size 50-56 – Your little one is growing fast. Shop smart and choose size 62-68.
🚫 Expensive toy sets for newborns – During the first few months, your baby will mainly look at you.
Don't Be Fooled – Choose Smart!
Forget those endless lists from baby shops. You don't need 101 gadgets, but a few smart products that really make parenting easier. And yes, that is exactly what we at Samigo stand for: simplicity, quality and a personal touch.
