Little Lifesavers for the Early Days

items Ideas for gifts that new mums/ dads will genuinely need and use. Whenever my friends are having babies, these are usually first things I would look at buying for mum or baby
Safe, padded mat, bright colours and catchy songs. My toddler is 2 and I still sometimes find myself about a purple monkey! A life saver in the early days when I could have got cup of tea watching her kick away at the piano!
