0 Shares

Pregnancy, nappies, and health – they’re the big three when it comes to navigating those early parenting years. And in the 2025 Mum Central Awards, we’ve spotlighted the absolute best in each category. From the game-changers to the lifesavers, and the “can’t-live-without this” products voted by thousands of Aussie parents.

From the moment those two lines appear, parents are faced with endless product choices, but not all are created equal. That’s where we come in. These winners have been tried, tested, and trusted by real mums who know what works in the trenches of parenthood.

A collection of the best must-have pregnancy and baby products

The Pregnancy category shines a light on the products that truly support mums-to-be through one of life’s biggest transformations. From bump-friendly must-haves, to clever tools that make growing a tiny human just that little bit easier, we are here to celebrate the best of the best!

For Nappies, it’s all about performance. Parents voted for the brands that don’t just hold up to the mess – but go the extra mile in comfort, fit, and skin-friendliness. And finally, in the Health category we’re celebrating the products that bring peace of mind when sniffles strike, temperatures rise, or little bodies need extra care.

Let’s dive into the must-have products every new or expecting parent needs to know about.
