Nursery
This nursery furniture set is perfect for small spaces, and looks great in our baby’s forest themed room. Instructions to build were easy to follow, even for me 🙈
Tutti Bambini Malmo 3-Piece Nursery Furniture Room Set & Reviews | Wayfair.co.uk
Great battery life, night vision, several melodies to play to baby and an intercom system via the handheld screen. The camera can also be rotated very far (up/down and side/side) and you can connect more than one camera to the handheld screen. Amazin...
1080P High - Performance Video Baby Monitor BM01
This lamp has been a game changer with my baby’s sleep, and has a lot of useful functions for the future when he’s a child. It can be synced up with your phone via an app, and you can choose from several colours and noises. You can set specific colou...
Dreamegg Kids Sleep Trainer Clock - White Noise
These drawer storage boxes have really helped me to stay organised with my baby’s clothing.. or as organised as a sleep deprived mum can be. Don’t expect the clothing to be neatly rolled up like in the pictures once baby has arrived.. but dumping sim...
DIMJ 12 Pack Foldable Fabric Drawer Organisers
I got this trolley for our nursery to mainly store items for nappy changing and bath time. We are limited on space in our nursery but this trolley sits perfectly next to our chest of drawers with the baby changing mat on top!
SONGMICS 3 Tier Mobile Cart with Wheels White
As somebody who overbought baby clothes and now refuses to clear out these clothes (just in case!), but with a small nursery with limited space… these were extremely useful! 😂🙈
Lifewit 40L Under Bed Storage 3 Pack Grey
Travel
This travel cot is super easy to set up and dismantle, and also packs up very well in the provided bag. The mattresses for most travel cots are usually cardboard thin but this one is actually a decent thickness.

Bath time
I used this bath support when my little one outgrew the newborn bathtub in this list but was still not strong enough to sit up by himself. It’s great to use when your baby is able to interact with bath toys a bit more, as they float around them in th...
Angelcare Baby Bath Support with Water Indicator
This newborn bathtub was great for my baby’s first few months of bath time, particularly before he was able to sit up. Not only was he comfortable and relaxed in this, but I particularly liked that it saved you from filling up your whole bath for a f...
Nuby Comfort Baby Bathtub
Nobody wants to put their baby in a bath that’s too hot or cold. This cute thermometer floats in the water and will quickly and accurately update as the water temperature changes. It also flashes red when it reaches 40 degrees Celsius!
Nuby Penguin Baby Bath Thermometer Digital
Sleep
We loved using this next to me crib until our baby was moved into his nursery. You can attach it to the bed to ensure it is stable, and it’s very easy to align it to your bed’s height with the adjustment settings. It also includes a shelf underneath,...
CoZee Bedside Crib - Oak/Charcoal
These swaddles helped my little one to stay asleep in his next to me crib or Moses basket, during a time when he would only like sleeping on me. My baby would do the startle reflex and wake himself up, but the positioning of the arms in these swaddle...
Swaddle Up Starter Bundle 1.5 | 2.5 TOG | Oat Twigs | Storm Blue Pebbl
This set is a godsend in the middle of the night when you have a very upset, hungry baby. Fill the grey flask with boiling water when you go to bed, and it will keep hot throughout the night. You can then make up bottles of formula, and use the white...
Nuby RapidCool Baby Bottle Maker Kit - 2 Min
This rocker can be easily attached to any pram and really helped my baby to fall asleep and stay asleep when we were out and about, and he desperately needed a nap! You can also change the intensity of the rocking to suit you 👍
