You might have thought you’ve seen all the newborn care products you need, and there is a high chance that you have. However, there are a few products we find to be rather unusual, albeit very useful, some of which have multiple uses. Products with higher utility tend to be more popular as everyone is looking for a product that can perform not just one, but many functions. It is for this reason we’ve researched some of the not-so-popular newborn care products that we believe you’ll find very useful. Without further ado, below are 10 baby products you probably didn’t know about.

Thermometer/Pacifier

A thermometer is one of the newborn care products every parent should have. Whether it is a baby thermometer for the bath or an adult thermometer, you should get a thermometer for accurate checking of the temperature of your baby’s bathing water. You also need a thermometer to check your baby’s body temperature. Vick’s Pacifier Thermometer registers your child’s temperature, and at the same time serves as a pacifier to soothe a grumpy baby. So, as one of the useful baby care tips, if the traditional body thermometer gives you a bit of a headache whenever you need to get your baby’s reading, you can just pop this in their mouth and let them suck away until you get a temperature ready you can rely on.

You can rarely go wrong with any newborn care product that doubles as a pacifier, which is why this medicine dispenser disguised as a pacifier from Munchkin works so well. If you have difficulties getting your little angel to take their medicine, then this product is your way out of that struggle. All you need to do is put the right dosage of the medicine in the cup and let them suck away.

All you need to do is put the puree in the container and then put the lid on. The lid also acts as a spoon, so you just squeeze the food onto the spoon-shaped cover and feed your baby. Everything is so much easier.

Infant Car Seat Carrier

To ensure newborn care and safety as well as comfort, this infant car seat carrier is a baby product that can be used as a stroller as well as an adjustable car seat. If you hate having to get your baby in and out of their car seat (because all parents do) then this stroller is for you. It allows you to take the entire baby car seat out of the car and pop it right into the stroller. The good thing about this is that it can fit in almost any type of car seat brand. This is especially more useful as your little angel gets bigger and heavier and consequently more difficult to carry in their car seat.

Clean Hands Changing Pad

Some babies will reach out and try to mess with things while you’re changing their diapers. This newborn care product helps keep your baby’s hands in place and away from the messy area while you take care of things. This is especially useful in public places where things can get extremely dirty and more prone to germs. The second use of this smart product is that it can hold your supplies while you’re on the move and then whenever it’s time to change the baby, it transforms into a changing mat. This is an excellent way of keeping your baby safe while changing them and also has utility when it comes to carrying objects including toys for your little one.

In this way, you ensure newborn care and safety. All you need to do is to place the Blooming Baby bath sink insert into the sink and you can bathe your baby conveniently while standing at the sink. Unlike most other sink inserts, the Blooming Baby bath sink insert’s soft cushioning absorbs the water so the baby is comfy and not uncomfortable while you bathe her.

Thermometer Toy Duck

Speaking of utility, this thermometer also becomes a baby bath toy for your little angel to play with while you bathe them. It is extremely important to ensure that the temperature of your baby’s bathing water is just right to ensure newborn care and safety. This newborn care product will help monitor the water temperature before you put your baby in it and even during the bath. Instead of using your elbows and wrists for the feels testing, this thermometer that doubles as a toy will tell you precisely whether the bath water temperature is good. You can even purchase it in place of a rubber duck toy. This is a no brainer and a must-purchase.
