You’ll want about 10-15 of these for delivery!! We used them to wipe baby off. They are much softer than towels and wash very well after

I rented a birthing pool from my midwives but this one looks almost identical! An absolute must have for me! Both my home births have been water births and all future ones will be planned that way too.

If you think you have enough towels, you probably should add 4 more 😂 I love these affordable but soft ones. I have the purple and recommend either a dark colour or white if you don’t mind washing with bleach :)

Keeps water ice cold. You need to stay hydrated while nursing to keep up supply. Love that it’s big enough to last all night without needing to refill. (I also used this during labour)

The best swaddle blankets!!! Also make a great travel blanket for toddlers because they are big but fold up nice and small! These are still used regularly with my 6, 4 and 2 year old. Have held up wonderfully over the years
