How to start a baby wholesale business in Nigeria
A baby wholesale business buys diapers, wipes, baby food and toiletries in bulk and sells them to baby shops, pharmacies, supermarkets and provision stores. With millions of babies born in Nigeria every year, demand never stops. Diapers are the anchor product; baby care and food lines add margin.
At a glance
What to stock
| Line | Why stock it | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Diapers | Weekly repeat purchase | Carry two price levels: budget and premium |
| Baby wipes | Bought with diapers | High margin compared with diapers |
| Baby cereals | Repeat purchase from 6 months | Watch expiry dates closely |
| Toiletries | Soap, lotion, powder, oil | Sell in sets for gifts |
| Feeding and accessories | Bottles, teethers, bibs | Slower, but good margins |
How to start
Register your business
Register with the CAC (we can help). Pharmacies and supermarkets will ask for your business details.
Get dry, cool storage
Diapers are bulky and baby food is sensitive to heat. Keep stock off the floor. Short of space? See our pallet storage in Lagos.
Pick your first customers
Visit 20 or 30 baby shops, pharmacies and provision stores in one area. Ask what they buy, how often, and what they struggle to get.
Start with diapers plus two lines
Diapers bring you through the door every week. Add wipes and one food or toiletry line to raise your margin per visit.
Check expiry and NAFDAC numbers
Every baby food and toiletry you sell should carry a NAFDAC number. Sell the oldest stock first.
Will the numbers work?
Use your own quotes. Profit is before tax and before paying yourself. Nothing you type is saved.
