From car seats to diaper bags, having a baby means stocking up on essential items. Don’t know what you really need as a new mom? Don’t worry – we’ve got you covered. Check out our list of must-have baby items every new mom needs!
Being a neurodivergent child can be EXTRA hard - it's so difficult to find the words to explain what's causing stress or to know what's wanted and needed. I am taking the guesswork out of it for you and suggesting items to help reduce unnecessary or unwanted mental processing and provide relief for little minds. In here you will find a range of things that are focused on creating sensory underload for neurodivergent (ADHD/autism/dyslexic/dyspraxic/dysgraphic/dyscalculic/OCD) children. I genuinely do not believe we should ever ‘grow up’, so anything you find in here is also great for anyone of any age (as well as pet-friendly). Be kind to your mind and surround yourself with wonderfully neurodivergent-friendly items to create the mental peace, cosy relaxation, comfort, and gentle fun that we all deserve 🪁🫶

For little ones who explore the world with their mouths as much as their hands, every material matters. These organic plushes are crafted from natural fibers and contain minimal (if any) microplastics. They are gentle on delicate skin, and designed with understated elegance.

Soft neutrals, elevated textures, and timeless forms that soothe both baby and aesthetic sensibilities alike.

We don't let our kid have lots of screen time but also, she's a very outdoors kid naturally and refuses to be inside if she can :) when we're inside, we try to put on things that we can possibly all engage in or where we are singing/learning songs together. We also don't want to see uncomfortable subject matters if possible and focus on learning matter, like language or pre-school learning. Hope any of this helps when you need!
