As a first time mum, I spent hours researching what I’d need for a newborn, and still felt completely unprepared when she actually arrived. I bought things I never touched and missed the stuff that would have made those early weeks so much easier.
This is the list I wish someone had handed me before I gave birth. The products that got me through the 3am feeds, the witching hour, the first bath, the nappy blowouts, all of it. No generic baby registry filler, just the things that genuinely made a difference when I was exhausted, overwhelmed and figuring it out as I went.
