"Products meant for feeding a newborn baby are one of the pillars of a well-rounded registry. Because, letâs be honest, eating is one of the things babies are known for doingâoften. Each parent/baby feeding routine is unique. Thatâs why itâs important for us to have the products we need to make feeding, no matter what that looks like, as easy as possible.
Whether weâre breastfeeding, bottle feeding, or preparing for the stage where weâll introduce foods besides formula or breast milk, there are products designed to make sure weâre well prepared. Thatâs why we wanted to offer some guidance in the registry department by gathering a list of the best baby feeding products to consider. Many of these products have been personally used by our editors, and all come with raving reviews on their quality.

The Best Baby Feeding Products for Your Registry
Read on for the best of the best baby feeding products to add to your baby registry.
Editorâs Note: Many feeding products like breast pumps are fully or partially covered by insurance and many feeding essentials like breast pump accessories and bottles can be purchased using FSA or HSA dollars. Check your coverage before purchasing.
1. Formula
When it comes to baby formula, we want the best of the best. To us, that means all of the good stuff and none of the bad. Bobbie formula is exactly that. As a USDA-certified organic product, Bobbie formula includes organic milk and is made with non-GMO ingredients. Additionally, Bobbie formula has received both the Clean Label Projectâs Pesticide Free Certification and Purity Award. Modeled after breast milk, their recipe meets U.S. and European regulations, meaning it includes DHA and leaves out unwanted ingredients like corn syrup, soy allergens, and palm oil. Bobbie recipes are also soy allergen-free. We can feel good knowing weâre feeding baby the highest quality formula when we choose Bobbie. Their starter bundle is great to have on hand so you can be prepared for feedings along with babyâs arrival.
Best Premium Organic Formula
Bobbieâs science-backed ingredients are rigorously tested and certified organic. With convenient doorstep delivery, we trust in Bobbie to help you feed your baby with confidence and ease.
Best Budget Friendly Organic Formula
Babyâs Only USDA Organic Certified infant formula is clinically proven to support infant growth starting from birth. Available at most retailers, itâs beloved by parents nationwide.
Bobbie
âThe American Academy of Pediatrics recommends vitamin D supplementation for breastfed and combo-fed babies from day one. These vitamin D drops from Bobbie are made with simple, high-quality ingredients and help support optimal bone health and immune system development,â says Peters.
2. Bottles
Baby bottles are a must-have, whether weâre choosing to breastfeed, formula feed, or combo feed. Like all baby products, we want the highest quality available for our little ones. Thatâs why we chose products that avoid BPA and harmful chemicals. These bottles include breast-like nipples for a natural feel for babies. Plus, theyâre clinically proven to reduce colic with their internal vent systems, provide a consistent flow rate, and preserve nutrients. And letâs not forget, theyâre dishwasher safeâthe type of convenience we need!
MAM
Neela Sethi, MD, a pediatrician and MAM Baby Ambassador, recommends MAMâs Anti-Colic bottles due to their patented vented base that reduces air inhalation, which helps minimize gas. Their nipple shape and texture also feels similar to momsâ nipples for easy bottle-to-breast switching. Plus, the bottles self-sterilize with water and three minutes in the microwave.
MAM
Babies grow quickly, and so do their bottles. The MAM Essential Newborn Set is the ideal anti-colic, easy to clean, and perfect for on the go bottle set as this set grows with baby. Featuring the Easy Startâą Anti-Colic Baby Bottles in 5 and 9 ounces, the designed-with-dentists newborn pacifier (and self-sterilizing paci case!), and a massaging teether, you really have everything you need to get started.
MAM
The Easy Activeâą 11-ounce Baby Bottles feature an easy-to-hold design for tiny hands as babies start to explore their independence while feeding. With a familiar and soft breast-like nipple, unique anti-colic air valves, and an easy-to-clean design, the Easy Activeâą Bottles bridge the gap between infant bottle-feeding and baby bottle-drinking.
3. Breast Pumps and Hands-Free Breast Pumps
With so many breast pump options on the market, itâs difficult to know what type of breast pump is best for your needs. Hospital-grade breast pumps are great for at-home use and gathering a supply of milk. Manual pumps help on the go, and then there are hands-free pumps, which are great for multi-tasking thanks to their portability. While a breast pump can be on the higher price point side of a registry, there are plenty of high-quality, affordable options as well. Here are the top-rated and editor-approved breast pumps. Remember, many pumps, when purchased through insurance, are eligible for FSA/HSA reimbursementsâbe sure to check with your insurance carrier for more info!

4. Breast Milk Storage and Supplies

5. Bottle Drying Racks and Sterilizers
Parents learn quickly that babies come with a lot of stuff. Thereâs gear for every part of taking care of a little one. While there are the essentials, there are also some that can be considered ânice-to-have.â Anything that saves space and allows us to organize baby gear is a win in our book. Thatâs why we love these bottle drying racks. Made specifically for baby bottles and accessories, theyâre the most efficient way to dry bottles after washing.

6. Burp Cloths
As Jocelyn from Schittâs Creek would say, âspit happens!â As do burps, spit-ups, messes, and the like. In these cases, and during each feeding session, burp cloths are essential. After babies eat, itâs recommended that they be burped to let out any air stuck in their tummies. Burp cloths are great for protecting clothing from inevitable spit-up that happens with feeding. The best ones are highly absorbent, durable, and soft for babyâs skin.
Amazon
For spitty and refluxy babies, these burp cloths are outfit savers. Theyâre as soft as they are pretty. Comes in a pack of 6.

7. Formula and Baby Food Makers
At about the six-month mark, the CDC recommends introducing babies to foods other than breast milk or formula. This can be an exciting time as we can get to know our babies betterâwhat foods they like and what theyâre not so fond of. Itâs also a great time to make our own baby food. While there are great brands out there for baby food, making it from scratch can offer peace of mind by knowing the exact ingredients. The best part? With a good baby food maker, it doesnât have to be as difficult or time-consuming as it may sound. Here are a few we recommend.
Baby Brezza
This is a life and time-saver for formula feeding moms! It eliminates the guesswork of bottle prep for caregivers and makes and heats bottles all in one helpful product.

8. Baby Feeding Utensils
âStarting solids is a WILD ride! Start slow and simple. Learning to eat solid foods is a process and will take practice,â says Peters, a registered dietitian specializing in family and kids nutrition. When baby starts eating different foods, it will be nice to have utensils on hand specifically designed for little ones. Theyâre crafted to fit in little human hands and are made with materials that will be easy on their mouths. From spoons to plates and bowls, baby will basically have their own kitchen dedicated to them when the registry is complete! Our favorite products are made of silicone (AKA, not breakable!) and are BPA, phthalate, and latex-free for safe feeding every time.

When picking out the perfect high chair, we looked at durability and the ability to grow with baby. Plus, âItâs important that the chair you put on your registry has an upright back with a footrest to promote improved posture,â said Mary Noreen Cheng, a pediatric physical therapist and part of our Registry Awards expert panel.
