Need help packing your hospital bag, look no further it can be overwhelming and you may not know where to start. So here is my favourites for both mum and baby, from clothes, toiletries to snacks and essentials.
Ready made formula in manageable bottles also fab when you just get home or to use for night feeds in the early days and weeks. Kendamil for me is one of the better formulas available.
