Newborn essentials by category
Strollers
On average, you use a stroller from birth until your child is about 4 years old. Most parents use a stroller intensively during the first 2.5 years, after which use gradually decreases as your child prefers to walk independently.
Breast pumps
You use a breast pump for an average of 6 to 12 months, depending on your personal situation and how long you breastfeed. The most intensive period is often the first 6 months after the birth of your baby.
Co sleepers
A co-sleeper is used for an average of 6 to 9 months. This period starts at birth and ends when your baby becomes too mobile or can sit, after which a transition to a crib is safer.
Baby carriers
On average, you use a baby carrier from birth until your child is about 2 years old. The most intensive period is between 3 and 18 months, when your baby likes to be carried but cannot walk independently for long.
Bouncers
A bouncer is used for an average of 6 to 9 months. You usually start when your baby has good head control (around 3-4 months) and use it until your child can sit independently or becomes too active for the bouncer.
Cribs
A crib is used for an average of 2 to 4 years. Your baby usually sleeps in it from 6-9 months until the moment your child is ready for a toddler bed, often around the age of 2.5 to 3 years.
