items These will change your parenting experience! These are the products I couldn’t live without and will definitely use again for the next one!
This will be your holy grail for sick season! When I tell you that this has saved us on many nights I’m being deadly serious. Every parent of any age child should have one of these. The inserts are age restricted so make sure to check for your child...
Vicks Humidifiers
This is really good for dribble rash, dry skin, mild cases of cradle cap and chapped skin. Lasts forever! A good natural, cruelty free organic product. I use the organic lavender one but there is also an option for fragrance free.
Baby-Soft Balm Stick - Kokoso
This is the best and only nappy cream I’ll ever use. Enough said!
Nappy Creams
These wipes are far superior to any other brand on the market! Buy in bulk to stock up as you will never not need them.
Sensitive Baby Wipes
A really good night time moisturiser. My son has eczema and this doesn’t agitate it at all. Smells lovely too!
AVEENO® Baby Calming Comfort Bedtime Lotion
When babies start throwing their dummy’s out of the pram (no pun intended) these are a lifesaver. Strap it to your nappy bag and you can rotate. Have one ready to go when you need to swap them out. They take around 10 minutes to sterilise and super e...
Milton Soother Steriliser - Silver
These are sooooo useful if you’ve got a fussy baby/toddler when you go out. Pop in some age appropriate snacks, add a dummy clip and clip to to the buggy straps. Baby can help themselves and it won’t end up on the floor. So many people have commented...
Baby Snack Pots
This is the only weighted straw cup my son would use when we transitioned from milk bottle to cup. It’s not got a valve so it’s easy to drink from, the weighted straw means whatever position they’re drinking from it will still work. We have one in ea...
Children's Drinking Cups & Sippy Cups
I have used this every single day since my son was born. He is now 19 months old and we still have a cuddle before bed in this every night. It’s super comfy, reclines and you can get the footstool too. Everyone told me I’d never use this but it’s bee...
Nursing Chair and Footstool - Mothercare Best Seller - White/Grey
These are the vapo pad inserts for the Vicks cold mist humidifier. The menthol ones are for 36 months+, we use the rosemary and lavender oils ones which are from 3 months+, they smell Devine and really help your baby sleep well even whilst congested.
Vicks VapoPads Refill Scent Pads - Menthol x 7
I LOVE this gadget. It gently removes nasal congestion from your baby’s nose. It has coloured lights for distraction and is easy to clean. I would not be without this during sick season.
Baby Nasal Aspirators · Baby Snot Suckers
We love these at bath time! We all know that magnesium helps aid a restful nights sleep. But this is also super fun as it has popping candy in which makes you bath water whizz pop bang! Smells Devine and a great idea for toddlers bath time.
BetterYou Magnesium Sleep Whizz Kids' Bath Flakes
another one for colds! This is great for stubborn congestion. I use this in conjunction with the aspiration and it does a great job. There’s nothing worse than seeing your Abby upset because they can’t breathe through their nose.
Saline Nasal Spray & Drops
These are brilliant for when you’re ready to start weaning. I actually hate the silicone bowls and plates. They make food taste weird when it’s warm and that can’t be good for baby. These are super cute and come in lots of different shapes for the pl...
bamboo bamboo® Official | Baby Suction Bowls and Plates
I actually had two of these, the colour one and the black and white one. I used to call it the magic mobile because it got my son to sleep in minutes! I passed mine down to my niece when she had her son this year. If I have another baby you bet I’ll ...
Tiny Love 3-in-1 Baby Mobile with Music
This has made our transition from cot to bed so much better! I took the side off my 19 month olds cot bed last week, popped this under his fitted sheet and put a baby gate at his door. This has given me such a peace of mind during the night knowing h...
Lilian&Gema Toddler Bed Guard with Washable Cover
We love this baby monitor! It’s not connected to WiFi so you can feel safe in the fact no one can hack in and see your child. It’s got a remote, pan, tilt mode so you’re able to move the camera to all sorts of angles. There’s a mount on the wall opti...
