Ergo Pouch
Swaddling baby promotes neuromuscular development and stimulates sleep, yep, SLEEP! You need these guys.
I’ve bought dozens of varieties of these over the years and this still stands out as best in show 😊
You can get them in varying TOG (warmth indicator), but my suggestion is to go for the plain stretch cotton variety. The Ergo Pouch knows its stuff and promotes healthy hip development with its attention to best shape. It encourages baby’s arms snuggled across their chest, has a reversible zip (for the by-stealth, night nappy change), is easily washable and durable. Say hello to your new bestie 😊
Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier - 3D Mesh
I’ve got loads of these soft carriers at home and the one that never fails me is the Baby Bjorn 3D Mesh. This is one of the newer styles and boasts ‘bestseller’ status. It allows face in/ out, from newborn stage, mesh for cooler wear, with all the support you need, minus the weight.
Conforms to max. safety and standard requirements... gold!
Huggies
Any variety; you name them, I’ve tried them and if there’s one I come back to every.single.time, it’s these.
For decades Huggies have been taking care of our baby’s butts... if you’re after comfy days and dry nights... there’s no comparison.
Curash wipes (Fragrance Free)
Soft on baby’s bum and irritant free for sensitive skin. These are my go-to. No rubbing - they slide over that cute little butt removing any trace. Nothing else to add... except you’ll be using these waaay beyond your baby bearing years!
Elvie Breast Pump
The best innovation yet to hit the milk-pumping world. This wearable, hands free, smarty pants has variable intensity settings and connects to Elvie’s app to monitor and track your milk volume in real time. Fits in your bra.. performing in silence as it works its magic.
