When I was expecting my first child, the sheer volume of choices for baby gear was a bit overwhelming. I struggled to choose between must-have items and things I could skip. Five years ago, I really could have used what I recently found: Amazon’s “Most Wished For” section, which lists the top items shoppers are adding to their wish lists and registries.

Updated daily, it includes top-rated items that have been backed by thousands of five-star reviews. To help you get started, I’ve rounded up the best baby finds from the “Most Wished For” section, including everything from sound machines to diaper pails. These products have been invaluable in raising my two kids and are highly recommended additions to any baby registry or as baby shower gifts. They have earned their high praise — take a look.

HALO 100% Cotton Sleepsack
$35

Both of my sons slept longer and more soundly when they were swaddled in a sleep sack. Made from 100% cotton, the material is breathable yet warm, ideal for babies up to 3 months old. It's designed for versatility, allowing you to easily adjust it for both arms in, one arm out, or two arms out as you transition away from swaddling. Late-night diaper changes are also simple, thanks to the convenient bottom zipper. Plus, it comes in a ton of color options!

Parker Baby Diaper Caddy
$23

Over 9,000 Amazon shoppers bought this handy diaper caddy last month. There’s enough room for diapers, wipes, changing pads, pumping parts, and more, plus you can remove the internal organizer and use the caddy as a basket for storage. It’s easy to move around your home, or you can leave it in your car. Choose from five cute colors.

Ubbi Diaper Pail
$80$64

I swear by this stainless steel diaper pail (that was also our Best Diaper Pail winner). It locks in odors and even includes a child’s lock, so little ones can’t open it up (this is a lifesaver with toddlers). It’s Amazon’s number-one diaper pail bestseller for good reason!

Even though my youngest son is almost 3 years old, I still find uses for muslin swaddle blankets like these. They can be used as a nursing cover, blanket, stroller cover, and more, plus they’re breathable and lightweight for all seasons. They’re available in a pack of three with over 10 colors and print options.

CGK Unlimited Cooling Sheets, Queen

While it’s important to stock up on baby supplies, it’s also good to get something for the parents. These comfy sheets have a stellar 4.5-star rating from over 420,000 Amazon shoppers and come in over 20 colors. The set comes with a flat sheet, fitted sheet, and two pillowcases, and can maybe help you sleep like a baby.

Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine
$70

The Hatch Rest Baby Sound Machine has become another essential part of my kids’ bedtime routine. It offers easy programming with many colors and noise selections — I enjoy the sound of the wind in the trees. Plus, the lights and sounds can be used as cues to help toddlers learn when it’s time to wake up and when to begin getting ready for bed.

NumNum Baby Spoons Set
$17$13

Prepare your little one for using a spoon with this incredibly popular option. Designed with a thick, contoured handle and nonslip grip, these spoons are also great for teething relief.

Hiaksedt Baby Playpen
$47$43

This playpen became an absolute necessity once my sons began crawling, especially for those times I needed to multitask around the house. It kept them safely contained, so I always knew their location, and it helped keep their toys tidily in one spot. For ventilation, the panels are made of breathable mesh, and a zipper closure provides a fun way for kids to crawl in and out.

Munchkin Super Scoop Hanging Bath Toy Storage
$13

You’d be surprised at how quickly bath toys start accumulating. This convenient storage solution is a quick-drying mesh bag that hangs securely from your tile wall via included suction cups, and includes plenty of room for duckies and more. Plus, it features a wide opening, making it easy to scoop toys right out of the bath.
