Hospital bag must haves/post-partum essentials ✨🧳
My go-to maternity pad. Perfect size and I found great for use both just after birth and as time has gone on and my bleeding has got lighter. I haven’t leaked either which is brilliant! Great, reliable pads!
Lil-Lets Maternity Maxi Pads with Wings x 10 | Toiletries
Couldn’t have done without them! Instant cooling and relief for soreness after vaginal birth. They’re also long enough to cover the whole area and relieve for a long time. Highly recommend!!
FridaMom Witch Hazel Perineal Cooling Pad Liners 24s
An absolute life saver! I swear by this as relief for soreness after vaginal birth. Can be sprayed directly onto perineal area or onto a maternity pad, and provides a lovely, cooling effect. Is also even better after being stored in the fridge for re...
My Expert Midwife Spritz For Bits
I had mini toiletries which made life so much easier than taking large versions, and meant my bag had so much more space for what I needed/wanted. With certain things you can decant what you have at home into travel bottles, but with things like toot...
Travel Size Minis - Toiletries
I absolutely love Wild deodorant. The scents they offer, the way they refill and are environmentally friendly, and just everything about them really. So I knew I would want to take one with me to hospital, and that’s where the mini came in handy. I h...
Wild Deodorant
My Stanley quencher was an absolute god send during my hospital stay. Being sore and then not being able to walk after a spinal anaesthetic due to needing stitches after tearing, I couldn’t just walk and get water as and when needed. I would just fil...

For baby 👶🏻
From nappies and creams, to cribs and monitors, I’ve compiled a list of all of the things I can’t live without for my baby as a new mum! These things make life so much easier!
I absolutely love this coconut oil. This is part of my baby’s daily routine, both morning and night. She has dry skin after a few days of her being born, and I looked into all natural oils as advised by my midwives. I found Kokoso and gave it a go, a...
Kokoso Baby Coconut Oil | Natural Baby Skincare
Kit and Kin are the best!! Not only are the nappies adorable with the little animals on the back, but they are brilliant! Hypoallergenic, made from plant based materials and are super kind to my baby’s skin. They are super absorbent also! And the wip...
Hypoallergenic Nappies & Baby Wipes
Absolutely love bepanthen cream. I use it every nappy change to prevent any rashes, and so far my baby hasn’t had a sore bum at all! It works wonders and is super easy to apply! Highly recommend this nappy cream!!
Bepanthen
The Owlet sock has been the best purchase we have made for our baby. We can sleep soundly knowing our baby girl is being monitored and we will be notified if there are any issues at all. It’s at the more expensive end, but we knew we couldn’t put a p...
Medically Certified Dream Sock - Monitoring for Your Baby's Safety
We were having issues with our daughter escaping her swaddle but only sleeping when swaddled. We bought one of these and haven’t looked back since! She absolutely loves her swaddle to sleep bag! It’s super easy to put her in and will grow with her, s...
Swaddle to Sleep Bag
We absolutely love this thermometer for our daughters room. She’s in with us at the moment so it’s in our room, but that’s not an issue as you just charge it up and can take it anywhere. It changes colour based on if the room is too cold, hot or just...
Starlight Baby Room Thermometer
Another win from purflo! This breathable nest is a lifesaver for when I need to do things and my daughter is napping. I can lay her in it and get washing folded and put away and things tidied up knowing she’s safe and comfortable. It’s breathable and...
Baby Nests & Sleep Pods | Safe Overnight Bed
We love our snuzpod 4! Perfect next-to-me crib! It doesn’t take up too much room, but is spacious for baby at the same time, and is easy to reach my baby, put her in and take her out of during sleepy nights. It fits brilliantly next to our bed and I ...
SnuzPod4 - SnüzPod4 Bedside Cribs
If you’re looking for a buggy that you can take on long walks or jog along with, then look no further. We love our Venus jogger. It’s a large buggy, so we only use it when on our camping holidays for our long walks or for dog walks (as it rolls smoot...
Venus Jogger Pro
New mama❤️✨
Brilliant nipple pads. I also use the lansinoh reusable nursing pads, and have these as my back up for when both sets of those are in the wash, and they are so good. They’re super comfortable and stick nicely to my nursing bra, and they do well at so...
