Feeding
We used this for every single bottle we made..total game changer for those middle of the night feeds. It cooled bottles safely in minutes and honestly saved us so much stress, and tears!

We found this so handy for making bottles on the go, and it kept everything organised for night feeds too. A little lifesaver for tired parents!

Weaning
These bibs have been amazing for us. The elastic attachment wraps around the highchair tray to catch food, and they’re stain resistant, machine washable, and even safe in the dryer on low. They’ve saved so many outfits from being ruined during weanin...
BIBaDO Long Sleeve Baby Bibs 6-36 Months
Sleeping
These are a cheaper alternative that fit on the tutti bambino next to me crib. Washed really well.

We went for the Tutti Bambini CoZee Air in beige because it fit our style perfectly but it wasn’t just about the looks.. It’s sturdy, breathable, and made those early months so much easier for us. We loved having her close by.

After trying a cheaper option that felt flimsy and thin we ordered this Moses basket mattress and it was a huge upgrade. So much comfier for Sadie we felt so much more at ease using it. Would recommend over and over again.
Clair de Lune Bamboo Moses Basket Mattress
On the pricier side, but honestly worth every penny for us. Not only did it fit beautifully into our living room, but Sadie slept so well in it during the day.
Clair de Lune Organic Palm Moses Basket & Stand
Sadie was such a wriggly baby and kept waking herself up this swaddle completely changed the game in those first few months. Because they come in smaller sizes as well they’re perfect for newborns and can be used safely until baby starts rolling over...

Bathtime
We started using this bath seat as soon as Sadie could sit, and it made bath time feel so much safer. We still love it now, even past 1 year old!

We chose the Bugaboo Fox 5 because it pushes like an absolute dream. It’s lightweight yet really sturdy, and we’re still using it now. Such a lovely pram. We’ve had so many compliments on it!
