NEWBORN NECESSITIES: BRILLIANT BABY ESSENTIALS FOR NEW PARENTS
As some of you know, I had my first baby in January and i’ve been busy navigating motherhood and all the joys that it brings. In terms of ‘baby essentials’, I purchased various items before my daughter was born that have ended up in a cupboard, so I thought it would be good to curate a round-up of items that I have found to be extremely helpful…
1.) Mamas Moments Gift Pack, £44.47
We all know that birth takes it toll on the body and mind, leaving new mums in need of some well-deserved self-care. Designed by trusted midwives and made in the UK, the vegan-friendly Mama’s Moments Birthing Essentials Gift Pack includes a carefully curated collection of products designed to take the edge off, from head to toe.
2.) Kit & Kin Mum Skincare Bundle, £26.97
This skincare bundle from eco-friendly brand Kit & Kin features three bestselling, restorative products - a soft body butter, a soothing breast balm and a stretch mark oil to boost elasticity. Approved by dermatologists and certified natural by the soil association, Kit & Kin products are made without harsh chemicals or synthetic fragrances. The ultimate postpartum treat!
3.) Mummy’s Organics Breast Milk Booster Tea, £6.50
We love Mummy's Organics, a brand passionate about supporting happy and healthy pregnancies through the power of nature. The Breast Milk Booster Tea has a warming, earthy flavour and promotes a healthy milk supply whilst nursing. Drinking frequently throughout the day can also indirectly relieve your baby’s colic and calm their digestive system!
4.) Hippychick Feeding Pillow, £39.95
The Hippychick Feeding Pillow really does it all. Use it during pregnancy as a sleep aid or to relieve backache. Once baby arrives, the pillow adapts to the shape of the parent - two long ties can be used for extra security during feeding sessions. Later on, the pillow can become a baby nest for tummy time and it can help little ones to sit up! The pillow cover (available in five different styles) is 100% cotton, removable and machine washable.
5.) MORI Ribbed Pyjamas 2 Pack, £55.25
MORI’s ribbed pyjamas for babies and toddlers are perfect for long journeys, cosy days and snuggly nights. They’re made from a super soft stretchy fabric (67% bamboo, 28% organic cotton and 5% elastane) and are available in six different colour ways. I’m quite sure my little one will be wearing these out to the beach / woods too!
6.) ClevaMama ClevaPure™ Lamp, £64.99
I have fallen in love with ClevaMama’s ClevaPure™ Himalayan Salt Lamp. It has been an absolute lifesaver at night when I get up, bleary eyed, for the 4:00am feed. It can be used as a humidifier, a warm comforting night light with natural air purifying properties and an aromatherapy diffuser (try lavender). During stressful moments, this magical lamp has the power to soothe and calm you and your baby.
7.) Etta Loves Plants Range, £18.50 - £75
My 3 month old baby loves the Plants Collection by the innovative baby sensory brand Etta Loves, who place science at the heart the brand. This colourful, nature-inspired collection is mesmerising for babies’, encouraging visual and sensory development, calm and relaxation. We recommend the muslins and the Sensory Strip!
