When should I start buying baby equipment?
It makes sense to buy the initial equipment for newborn babies in the 30th week of pregnancy or a little earlier. This is because newborns are often not born on the exact calculated date of birth, but a little earlier. In addition, there are certain products (e.g. the pram) that have a delivery time of several weeks.

What do babies need to sleep?
It doesn't matter whether your little one sleeps in your bed with you or gets their own cot/cradle, you need a few essentials so that your newborn can sleep comfortably. In addition to the right baby clothes for the night, your baby needs several sleeping bags that you can change depending on the temperature. The sleeping environment is also important. You should buy a high-quality mattress and fitted sheets so that your baby sleeps well.
At Slumbersac, you will also find baby equipment that your newborn needs when sleeping. As an accessory, we offer cute comforters in different designs. Your newborn can use these fluffy soft comforters to grab and cuddle to help them fall asleep better. Depending on which animal you like best, you can get the comforter as a fox or an elephant, for example.
Baby Clothes from Slumbersac - everything you need for your newborn baby
Quality is particularly important when it comes to baby clothing. Although your newborn baby doesn't need much at first, they still want to feel comfortable. That's why you shouldn't save on baby clothes and, instead, should invest in a few high-quality and safe items. So, don't just make sure that the clothes look smart - they must also be practical and easy to put on. Bodies are very practical because they are easy to put on and take off. When it comes to baby clothes for newborns, make sure they are the right size. Depending on their height and weight, newborns need clothes in sizes 50cm to 62cm. If you want to be well equipped, it is a good idea to simply buy a few baby things in different sizes. If in doubt, it is better to buy larger baby clothes for your newborn, as your little one will grow very quickly.
Slumbersac newborn essentials - from bodysuits to rompers to pyjamas. Our garments meet the Öko-Tex Standard 100 and are made of particularly soft jersey cotton, which is gentle on baby's skin. We also offer a wide variety of colours to suit boys and girls. These can be in a plain design, such as the baby short-sleeved bodysuits in blue or grey, or with pretty patterns and motifs such as little stars, stripes or animals. In summer, short-sleeved or sleeveless bodysuits are more suitable. In winter, long-sleeved bodysuits made of organic cotton will keep your newborn nice and warm. In the cold season, you should also be well prepared for walks outside when your baby will also need a hat and gloves.
