Even if you aren’t currently expecting, your little one’s needs are constantly changing. Diapers, clothing, and burp clothes often need replacing, just to name a few essentials.
The good news is that if you shop smart, you can save on almost anything on your “want” and “need” lists.
Here are Healthline’s top 15 picks from Amazon’s February Baby Sale.

3. MyBaby Sound Machine
- Price: $
- Discount: 36%
- Why we chose it: the durable plastic construction is free of bisphenol A (BPA)
White noise is a great way to ensure your baby gets some solid shut-eye. But what happens when you’re on the go with no outlets in sight? This portable sound machine by MyBaby runs on 3 AAA batteries and can clip to any stroller or baby carrier for those soothing sounds while you’re out and about.
Reviewers appreciate the auto-shutoff that conserves battery power with options for 15-, 30-, and 45-minute intervals. And instead of just abruptly turning off, the sound gets quieter and quieter, so it won’t startle your baby awake.
4. Sealy Posturepedic Waterproof Mattress
- Price: $$$

- Why we chose it: it’s waterproof and features an easy-clean protective cover
A good quality crib mattress can last for years to come, all the way from newborn days through toddler years.

The sheet is made from organic cotton and fits all standard crib and toddler mattresses. It also has premium elastic stitched all the way around for the best fit possible.
Reviewers share that this crib sheet is soft and tight-fitting. One person even noted they liked the gray color best because you can see when it is wet with drool, spit-up, or other messes that need a change.

An added bonus is that it can grow with your child and transforms into a barstool for use with older kids.

When does the Amazon February Baby Sale end?
The Amazon February Baby sale runs through Monday, February 27.
What are the most essential items I need for my baby?
The answer to this question is highly individual. In general, you’ll need clothes, diapers, and a safe place to sleep. The rest is really up to you. Consider making a list that fits your needs and your lifestyle and shopping from there.
Do I need everything before my baby arrives?
Absolutely not! Your baby goes through various stages in the first year and beyond. If budget is a concern, think about the purpose of each item you’re buying. For example, babies who are not yet mobile don’t need baby gates. Babies who cannot sit up don’t need high chairs, and so on.
Can I buy used baby items?
You can find certain things, like strollers and clothes, at secondhand shops for your baby. Items with safety concerns, like car seats, cribs, and mattresses, are best purchased new.
Why? Safety guidelines are constantly changing. Items may get recalled over time. With car seats, you don’t know the crash history, and you should never use a car seat that’s been in a car accident.
You don’t need every new gizmo or gadget to successfully raise your baby. That said, some items can be very helpful and last you years to come if you choose to have more children. Make a list of your individual “essentials” and shop deals whenever possible.
Having trouble affording everything you need? There are various programs that help supply items like formula, diapers, and car seats. Consider asking your doctor for information on local help. Otherwise, check out our resource guide for new parents on how to contact these programs directly.
