Baby Products We Would Recommend to a Friend: 0-6 months

Gosh, it would be impossible to name all the products you might need, but here are the ones we would recommend over and over. Whether you’re a new parent or looking for what to get your pregnant friend, these are our favourites:

  • The Baby Sleep Guide - Our number one recommendation for every parent. A new baby and sleep issues seem to go hand in hand, but it doesn’t have to be so miserable! This will arm you with the knowledge to understand and create healthy sleep habits which will help everyone

  • Elvie’s wearable electric breast pumps! You can go for the silent, hands-free pump or the hospital-grade hands-free pump, Elvie Stride! Both fit in your bra and give you the freedom to move around - yay!

  • Elvie Catch Cups - If you’re breastfeeding and want to spare every drop

  • Haakaa Manual Breast Pump and Milk Catcher - For when you’re at home and you can free the boobs. This manual breast pump is also great for catching a letdown from your other boob while you are breastfeeding

  • Breastmilk Storage Bags - The perfect bag as far as breastmilk storage goes (ha!) Sealable, spill and leak-free. Can be used in the fridge or freezer!

  • Munchkin Bottle Warmer - If you’re bottle feeding, here’s a bottle warmer you can travel with and is compatible with different bottle brands

  • Tommee Tippee Advanced Steriliser & Dryer - Sterilising and drying in 40 mins, another way to save time and let you have your hands free!

  • Maxi-Cosi Car Seat - The Pebble 360 is considered one of the safest car seats and is highly convenient for different reasons: it can be installed without a base (handy for travelling!), adaptable to different stroller brands and can be used up to 15(ish) months.

  • Wipes - WaterWipes are pure and biodegradable or if you want to go the reusable route, try Cheeky Wipes

  • Ubi Nappy Bin - To contain that smelly business

  • A Night Light - Here’s an affordable and portable one that’s not too bright and USB rechargeable

  • MAM Glow in the Dark Dummies - You’ll be able to ‘see’ where your baby is at night and find their dummy faster, too!

  • A Swaddle/GroBag for Sleeping - These help against the Moro reflex (when babies get startled in their sleep) which means better sleep! Can also be used with baby’s arms out when they get a bit older🥹 The GroBags come in different sizes and thicknesses (tog).

  • Frida Baby Snotsucker - Yes, it sounds disgusting but IT WORKS! The suction clears their mini sinuses real quick - some parents find it satisfying to use because it’s so effective 🥴

  • Tommee Tippee Baby Grooming Kit - Can be used at home or for travel - all in a handy travel case!

  • Weleda Baby Derma Cream - Great for a drool rash or dry, irritated skin. This cream is often recommended for eczema, too!

  • LastSwab Reusable Baby Qtip - Keep those lil ears and the ocean clean. With a cute shape to protect their eardrums, wash it with warm water and it’s good to reuse

  • Frida Baby Toothbrush - A cute finger brush to use as of 3m+ for the first teeth

  • A Portable Fan - Keep them cool with their portable fan which you can attach to pretty much anything! It’s also USB rechargeable
