SYDNEY, 20 June, 2019 Amazon Australia today announces the launch of Baby Wishlist which enables expectant parents to create a list ahead of their baby’s arrival to help them keep track of the products they want and need, with the ability to share with friends and family who may be looking to buy the new bub a gift.

Rocco Braeuniger, Country Manager for Amazon Australia said, “We have launched Baby Wishlist to provide expecting parents alongside their family and friends an easier way to shop ahead of their newest arrival. We hope that by offering parents this new benefit alongside free products we are helping them at the beginning of their journey. Looking back I know that Baby Wishlist would have saved me a lot of time and trouble when my kids were born.”
