For Mom

Pumping & Milk Storage

Lansinoh Giyilebilir Çiftli Göğüs Pompası

The wearable breast pump I recommend — hands-free, you can pump anywhere.

Medela Harmony Göğüs Pompası

More affordable — also great, but not wearable, so trickier to use out and about.

Lansinoh Anne Sütü Saklama Poşeti (50 adet)

Milk storage bags — a must if you're pumping; you can freeze them to use later too.

Breastfeeding Support

Lansinoh LatchAssist Göğüs Ucu Çıkartıcı

A nipple everter — in my first week my nipple wouldn't come out easily, and this helped.

Bebek Emzirme Yastığı

A nursing pillow — it makes things easier not just for the baby but for you too.

Emzirme Sütyeni (V Yaka)

Being able to unclip the bra easily is a real luxury, especially if you want to nurse while you're out.

Contact Nipple Shields (Göğüs Ucu Koruyucu)

Babies sometimes can't latch at first — I used these for the first week. Keep one on hand just in case; the hospital may be out of the size that fits you.

Earth Mama Organik Göğüs Ucu Kremi

Nipple cream, fully organic — I used it after every feed; since it's organic you don't need to wash it off before nursing again.

Lansinoh Blue Lock Göğüs Pedi

For leaking milk — something you use constantly, a must.

Lansinoh Sıcak-Soğuk Göğüs Terapisi Pedleri

For soothing the breasts — these really helped me.

Milk Supply

Lazika Emzirme Dönemi Bitki Çayı

A milk-boosting tea. Early on I was constantly anxious about whether my baby was getting enough, so I drank it all the time. My supply went up — whether it was thanks to this, I honestly don't know :))

Galactago Pro Anne Sütü Artırıcı Takviye

From an FDA-approved maker. In the US I used Motherlove Moringa — this is the Turkey equivalent.

Hospital Bag

Baby Gear

Bottles & Cleaning

Tommee Tippee Biberon Seti

The wide neck feels like the breast — we combined breast and bottle with this right up to 18 months.

Biberon Yıkayıcı Kurutucu Sterilizatör

My right hand — no scrubbing by hand; or wash and just let it dry and sterilise. Basically a dishwasher for the baby.

Siveno Biberon Yıkama Deterjanı

I lean on the Siveno brand for pretty much everything.

Daha Büyük Saklama / Seyahat Çantası

If you need a slightly bigger bag, this one's great for travel.

İzolasyonlu Termal Suluk ve Biberon Çantası

For short outings, to keep the milk warm or cold.

Carriers & Outdoors

BabyBjörn Kanguru (2)

My extra pair of hands — the product most worth its money, thank goodness it exists :) The luxury of napping the baby on my chest even while cooking.

BabyBjörn Bliss Ana Kucağı

A must — baby can happily hang out watching you until they're walking.

Pamuklu Esnek Wrap Sling (Bebek Taşıma Şalı)

In the newborn days we were out with this all the time.

Bebek Bezi Çantası / Sırt Çantası

My son is 2 and I still use this bag — so practical, tons of pockets.

Stroller & Accessories

Inglesina Aptica Glam Portbebe (Pashmina Beige)

We used this for the whole first 6 months so baby could sleep comfortably — slept in it in the evenings too, until the crib arrived.

Maxi-Cosi Soho / Cabriofix i-Size Seyahat Sistem Bebek Arabası

The more affordable option.

Inglesina Quid3 Kabin Boy Bebek Arabası

We have two strollers — a big-wheeled one for the city and this cabin-size one-hand-fold for travel. Being able to take it on the plane is a huge relief.

Babyjem Ana Kucağı Sinekliği

A mosquito net — an absolute must if you're giving birth in summer especially.

Babyjem Puset Sinekliği (Siyah)

A mosquito net — an absolute must if you're giving birth in summer especially.

Sleep

Beyaz Gürültü Cihazı (Pışpışlı, Ninnili, Radyasyonsuz)

Sends some babies straight into a deep sleep.

Düz Kafa Karşıtı Yenidoğan Baş Yastığı

A head-shaping pillow to prevent flattening. I didn't use it much, and my son's head turned out just fine :)

4 Katlı Müslin Bebek Pikesi (%100 Pamuk)

Up to age 1 especially, these muslin cloths get used every single day.

Baby Protection

Bebek Gürültü Önleyici Kulaklık

Since we go to basketball games, these were constantly useful for us :D

Bath & Care

Philips Avent Ultra Hava Emziği (Ortodontik, 0-6 Ay)

After the birth the hospital gave us this brand, so it's the one I know. My son didn't use any other pacifier.

Mustela Yenidoğan Şampuanı

An organic foam baby shampoo — because it's a foam it doesn't cause cradle cap in newborns. 3 bottles is enough for the first few months.

Mustela Hydra Bebe Vücut Losyonu (Normal Ciltler)

To soothe the baby's skin after a bath — you can also just use real olive oil.

Bepanthol Baby Pişik Önleyici Merhem

Nappy-rash cream — we only use it when the baby actually has a rash. It works fast and clears it right up; my number one for rash.

Alüminyum Buhar Yapıcı Hava Nemlendirici

Important for keeping the air in the room clean.

Baby Health & Care

Health Devices & Monitors

Xiaomi Akıllı Kamera

View from your phone — does the job; I have one too, sometimes put it in the living room.

Bebek Odası Dijital Termometre & Nem Ölçer

22°C is ideal for a baby — keep one in the room and track it.

Direct Nexus Kulaktan & Alından Ateş Ölçer

You'll always, unfortunately, need a thermometer.

Baby Health & Care

WaterWipes Islak Mendil (Yenidoğan & Hassas)

We always used these — very happy; I've tried just about every wipe out there.

baby me Bebek Temizleme Pamuğu

For the first 2–3 months I cleaned with cotton before switching to wipes.

Siveno %100 Doğal Bebek Pişik Önleyici Jel Krem

Use it daily as a moisturiser when changing your baby's nappy. Any ointment brand works, or you can use Vaseline.

Ocean Bebek D Vitamini

4 boxes is enough for a full year. Give 1 drop a day from your baby's very first day; if you pick another brand, make sure it's organic.

Formula

HiPP 1 Organik Combiotic Bebek Sütü

Formula to supplement breast milk, or for babies who won't take the breast — one of the best brands.

Teething & Oral Care

Bebek Diş Çıkarma Granülü

For teething pain — may be needed after around 6 months.

Toys

0–12 Months
