These bath time products I could not have been without and still use now.

Energy prices have gone through the roof so this has been a godsend for saving water. It also meant bath time was so much quicker as the bath for my daughter filled so much quicker. Easy to install, clean and remove when needed.

I use this every day to check her room temperature and for each bath. My daughter also loves playing with it when in the bath.

Great for giving you more hands free bath time as your little one is supported, suitable for when they are starting to sit up.

With so many long handled spoons on the market these shorter handled spoons are great. The shorter the handle the easier it is for your little one to use!

These plates have been great for our weaning journey, they have good suction and come with a cover. I got mine as a pack of two. They are easy to clean but I would recommend hand washing as dishwashers can reduce the suction.

This highchair transformed my early weaning journey with my daughter as the previous one I bought was just too big for her as she was only 2nd percentile. I also love the inflatable insert that comes with it.

As my daughter was only 2nd percentile this insert has been amazing. I take it out with me for when we eat out too as it fits the majority of highchairs and keeps her supported until she gets a bit bigger. It also makes the wooden ones much more comf...

I had to give my daughter a formula top up and this starter set was great.  I loved that with Mam products you can sterilise them in the microwave in 3 minutes - made life so much easier!

I loved this breast pump. It fits in your bra so you have your hands free and its quiet compared to some pumps. I was also able to wear this while driving which saved me so much time. Its also a lot cheaper than most on the market but actually works!

This was recommended to me by one of the midwifes on the post natal ward. I found it amazing, I used to use it to collect my let down on the other breast whilst feeding from the other one. It relieved engorgement but also gave me plenty of milk to us...
