Maxi-Cosi Foldable Travel Cot - We still use this on holiday and my son is almost 4, its the best. It also comes with a bassinet attachment, perfect for the newborn stage too.
Maxi-COSI Swift 3-in-1 Lightweight Travel Cot
Such a great chair and bouncer for when your baby can hold their own head up. You can also purchase the toy bar attachment or I used to clip toys onto the front for my kids to play with while they were watching me cook dinner, etc.
BabyBjörn Bouncer Bliss, 3D Jersey, Charcoal grey
Perfect for the newborn stage, however as there isn't a back strap, I found it was worth having a larger one too to support lower back as the baby grows.
BabyBjörn Baby Carrier Mini 3D Jersey Beige
The best device for getting your baby to sleep while out and about. I used this daily with my kids when they were babies.
SnoozeShade Plus Pram Sun Shade, Blackout
We still use this as our everyday stroller and fold it up daily when we get home to save space. It is perfect for city-life, travelling and restaurants as it is compact and can sit right next to your table without bothering other non-baby people!

Essential for pushing a pram in the winter months! I cannot live without these!
Stokke YOYO Insulated Mittens for Parents
An absolute must for when traveling with a baby and sharing a room. It brings sleep for all!
SlumberPod Original Blackout Sleep Tent
This machine saves so much time and energy, it was a lifesaver when I was struggling to breastfeed my first child.
Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep Formula Feed Maker
The only cream that worked on my kids when nappy rashes were coming, this stuff is amazing for so many skin irritations!
Aquaphor Baby Healing Ointment 14 OZ
This is so good for long walks with your baby or pram naps while in a restaurant. It can clip onto your buggy or crib (or even the car seat). I found this so useful!
Dreamegg D11MAX White Noise Machine, 21 Sounds
We still use this white noise machine every night for my kids and as they have grown, we now use the night-light feature which saves having to buy a separate night-light, great product. Also plugs into the wall so you don't have to worry about the ba...
Dreamegg D1 White Noise Machine with Night Light
Aka ‘the circle of neglect’! My kids loved this jumperoo and we coined it, 'the circle of neglect' as it was a life-saver when you needed to put the baby in a safe place to make dinner, or do laundry when they were in the fussy, only wanted to held s...
Baby Einstein Neptune Ocean Activity Jumper
The best baby bath seat from the newborn stage.
Angelcare Baby Bath Support Soft Touch Aqua
My go-to wipes for all things messy with kids and life.

My go-to bottles for feeding, the best! These were the only bottles I found that my kids liked as I was also breastfeeding and that were leak proof.
Lansinoh Anti Colic Baby Bottles 240ml 2pk
The best newborn size bottles, and so cute next to the larger size!
Lansinoh Anti Colic Baby Bottles 160ml 4pk
My go-to for bottle teats, the only ones that worked for my kids and mirror a breast teat.
Lansinoh NaturalWave Anti-Colic Baby Teats
The best drying rack and doesn't take up too much space on the kitchen counter. Great to add a little tree as well (I also included the tree in my list)
Boon Lawn Baby Bottle Drying Rack - Spring Green
A great accessory for the drying rack to hang bottle teats on for drying
