1st Baby Essentials

items Everything I used and rate from when my first baby was born! Swear by these products
These are brilliant for adjusting the temperature during the night, with zip and pop layers. Allows baby to have their arms out but reduces risks from blankets and loose bedding. 10/10
The Original Grobag Woodland Grofriend Swaddlebag
Loved these bottles with my 1st and 2nd. The new design can now be sterilised in the microwave which is a game changer, especially with the few parts to wash. Much easier than the 7 parts that come with the *other* brand of bottles. Also, I breastf...
Baby Bottles
Gave accurate reading for the room and the water. Made it easy to see if the water was too hot as it flashed red. Found getting the temperature right difficult so this helped keep it accurate.
Penguin Bath & Room Thermometer | Baby Bath - Nuby UK
Nothing cuter than a newborn in a white vest or onesie. Marks are top notch for quality and not too expensive
Babies' White Bodysuits
Used pampers napped entirely with my first. 10/10 no issues with them, held the contents in when worn correctly and soaked up lots for overnight sleep.
Pampers Nappies Newborn Size 0, 1 & 2
When my 1st was bunged up this was great to get some of that congestion gone. Helped ease his sleep which helps recovery. Bit gross to use but I don’t care because it worked!!
Nasal Aspirator for Baby NoseFrida + 4 Filters
We have this in grey with the brown handle and love it. Comfy carrycot and extendable toddler hood on the next seat up. Still use for both baby and toddler at 2.5. Massive basket underneath, can hold 4x24 pack cans of Coke or a full shop. Little b...
UPPAbaby Vista V2 Pushchair and Carrycot
Brilliant carrier, keeps baby supported and my back. I have back and shoulder problems and this carrier didn’t exacerbate them at all. Can be a bit tricky to put on by yourself but if you have long enough arms you can manage!
Omni 360 Baby Carrier - Ergobaby
Amazing sling for the early days although I did use later on as well. Keeps baby in the perfect position and allows you to get some bits done. Perfect for those Velcro babies!!
Award Winning Baby Slings | "Best Baby Carrier 2020" M&B Awards
Stunning car seat. From 0-13kg so lasted my 99th centile boy until 15 months. Can be reclined once on the 360 base, and fully on the pram. Can be used with a 360 isofix base for ease or with the seatbelt. It is quite heavy, especially when you add i...
CYBEX Cloud T i-Size | Official Online Shop
2nd car seat bought for the eldest. 99th centile boy should fit in this until at least 4 years old when his bones have ossified and he’ll be safe to face forward in a high backed booster. Slightly more expensive option and I don’t think it’s being ...
Axkid Movekid
Zip up onesies. No buttons to faff around with, especially good at night. Two way zips are ideal so you don’t have to completely expose their tummy’s when changing although I find you have to lift the zip quite high anyway.
Newborn Sleepsuits | Zip, Fleece, Footless & More
Had recently been a fab addition to the pram. My eldest can stand on the board when he gets tired when out and about. Can be a bit awkward to attach the first bits but once on you can attach and remove the buggy board really easily.
BuggyBoard® Mini
Helped my first with his gas no end. Gave before feeding at night and it helped him get the wind but so he wasn’t uncomfortable overnight. Have also used with my second a lot.
Infacol (Simeticone) Drops Dual Action relief of Colic and Wind 55ml
Used these for irregular pumps when I was feeling full or when I was due to leave my 1st for a while and needed to leave a bottle ready. They were good pumps, a lot of parts to clean and sterilise but had good suction. I had the pink versions. The a...
