Also if your baby likes swaddling or not. The grobag helped me feel so much better when sleeping as didn’t need to worry about loose bedding. Even if your baby hates it, your still able to put the arms out x https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tommee-Tippee-Baby-Newborns-Original-Grobag-Hip-Healthy-Cotton-Rich/dp/B09NDXKVBS/ref=asc_df_B09NDXKVBS?mcid=611b46ce5c133f50b41a211b659a06bd&th=1&psc=1&tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=697233128155&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2688163377281596541&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9046626&hvtargid=pla-1639992224128&psc=1&gad_source=1
Some may disagree here with me lol but I personally find this nappy bin so useful from keeping out bad odours from our normal bin. https://www.tommeetippee.com/en-gb/product/twist-click-nappy-disposal-bin-white-85200103?gclsrc=aw.ds&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=UK%20%7C%20PMax%20%7C%20Catch%20All&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAC9C0qcSiWu0xt8nc-XOgITQZqDI7&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtpLABhC7ARIsALBOCVqOVuUS2SBe8BLDCx-uukRgx9q6PSPKztz2RhIp-OFhwwmApcKy09AaAuTLEALw_wcB
Also try getting sleep suits with zips instead of poppers especially 2 way zips. Makes life so much easier when doing nappy changes during the night x
Also if ur anxious like me and need to know the temperature. This also recommends what to wear under the gro bag too https://www.currys.co.uk/products/tommee-tippee-groegg-2-ambient-room-thermometer-10226671.html?istCompanyId=bec25c7e-cbcd-460d-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istFeedId=4d7eb93e-055f-499d-8ee5-1cdcc50d67d1&istItemId=plrmrwati&istBid=t&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~1061+(shopping+Ads)+Home+%26+Family+-+Generic+Baby+Care+-+PMAX~~Exact~71700000121329368~&mctag=gg_goog_7904&kwid=GOOGLE&device=m&ds_kids=&tgtid=1061+(shopping+Ads)+Home+%26+Family+-+Generic+Baby+Care+-+PMAX&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD7JKSJxnleL-6XUXqtUPdn5xDPlA&gclid=Cj0KCQjwtpLABhC7ARIsALBOCVr-SwX7WGMxXxxsifeFq_49NGdFsqUkkA2004U_QfROGlJuGTneqLoaAgYTEALw_wcB
Id recommend whatever you can get second hand, get second hand. You may have plans or ideas you think your baby will like and if you're spending full whack on everything I'll guarantee it won't be what they want 😅
If you use a dummy this is awesome and portable https://uk.nuby.com/products/uv-dummy-steriliser
I was gifted a jitterbug for the pram and it’s awesome. We went for lunch the other day and my baby slept in her buggy whilst being rocked. She was one happy bunny! https://uk.nuby.com/products/jitterbug-pram-rocker
You can’t have enough blankets, muslins and vests! Also waterproof sheets for Moses basket, buggy and whatever crib you use. You will need more sheets than you think. Also we love our MAM self sterilising bottles and our Milton cold water steriliser. Both make life so much easier, I just pop the bottles into the microwave for 3 minutes and they are sterilised.
EWAN THE SHEEP - Game changer for helping baby to get from light sleep to deep sleep at night 👌
Love to Dream swaddle bags. I will never ever stop recommending them to everybody I know with babies.
Another recommendation for love to dream but also a high chair with a newborn attachment - you can use it pretty much right away, have somewhere safe to put them down in the kitchen where they can see you and actually feel yourself! Absolute life saver
me & my little one love her swing! it means she can be nosey but i can still get on with bits. she hated laying in moses basket in day cause she could just see ceiling
@Bethany what kind of swing? Do you have link? X
https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2159571 we have this one! cheap & cheerful, some of them are expensive though but idk what your budgets like x

- Nappy bin - some newborn vests and baby grows as you are always gifted bigger sizes! - Nappy caddy (so convenient) - Cuddle dry hands free baby towel - electric baby nail file (I love this as I am not confident with a nail clipper on my baby) - baby monitor (I started using this after a few weeks of my baby being born)
Baby carrier &/wrap !
Antibac wipes to keep in changing bag and your own fold out mat. The public changing units are absolutely vile.
Not essential but a Baby Sensory box full of toys good for their development. I’ll leave their website below! 🩷
