Rockit best invention ever will rock the pram a bit for you which mimics the bumps on the road which baby will more than likely fall asleep to

Organic as talc is bad for babies now but smells so yummy but not like baby powder if you’re planning on using baby powder

Personally loved these but she doesn’t use anymore but it keeps her cosy and allows her to startle which babies need for natural development but I personally prefer just a sleeping bag for her which I’ll link below too!

They have lots of colours but it’s good as you can swaddle arms if you want to swaddle or you can use as sleeping bag as alora kicks her blanket off all the time so it was easier to do this
