Welcoming a new baby to the world can be an exciting, but stressful time. You may feel overwhelmed with preparing the nursery or have questions about what you really need for your baby. And that's on top of all the 'useful' tips from well-meaning family and friends.

The Sleep Store is here to help you. Relax and let us guide you through what you need (and don't need), to create a gift registry that you can share quickly and easily with family and friends with products that are safe and will stand the test of time. Here at The Sleep Store we have a very strong focus on safe sleep, choosing products for your baby based on safety. While other retailers may choose their range based on trends or what looks cute, we pay very close attention to safety standards and regulations in New Zealand and Australia, ensuring everything we sell meets or exceeds local requirements. We also believe that products should last as long as possible and we hand-pick all the styles that are available on our website. You'll find many heirloom quality styles that you’ll be able to hand down to friends or younger siblings. We aim to make sure we have options for a variety of budgets and preferences.

There are so many things you could buy for your newborn baby.
