Becoming a parent is a real roller coaster of emotions from excitement, joy, anticipation and sometimes feeling overwhelmed with what you may or may not need so we have put together our top 7 products of items you will definitely need when having a baby.
BEDding
One thing babies definitely do is sleep. They can nap up to 12-18 hours a day so that’s a lot of time in their cot. We recommend certified organic cotton as this means there are no chemical nasties that have been used in the production process.
Our premium organic bedding range is perfect for your baby’s first cot and kinder on a baby’s skin. It is GOTS certified and Soil certified too which means that the cotton is grown and processed without the use of harmful pesticides and other nasties. Plus certified organic cotton uses 91% less water than conventional cotton so is all around better for the environment too.

Reusable Nappies
We highly recommend our award-winning range of Bambino Mio nappies. We stock an all-in-one design making it really easy to use. The beauty of them is that they are one size which means they last from birth to potty training.
Did you know that an average baby uses up to 1,800 nappies in its first year and It can take up to 500 years for a disposable nappy to decompose? So you can already start to see the benefits of using reusable.

Changing Mat
Changing mats are great for changing nappies, getting baby dressed as well as bathtimes. We are soo in love with our Guilded Bird range who have stunning designs to suit any nursery and are made here in the UK. Wipeable, durable, and made from Non-Toxic PVC.
Baby Carriers Amawraps
The perfect 100% natural cotton baby carrier. They are fully certified as hip-healthy and provide essential bonding and constant contact between you and your baby.
We love them as it allows you to be hands-free whilst snuggling your baby.
Muslins
As a parent you just can’t go wrong with muslins. They are a constant lifesaver, whether you use them for nursing, spillages, swaddling or as a blanket – it really is so versatile and it can be used all the way through to toddler years.
We have a beautiful 4 piece muslin set that comes in 3 different sizes to suit all your needs, with 7 gorgeous prints to choose from!
Breast Pads
Very useful when breastfeeding to prevent “leaky boobs” they act as pads inside your bra to soak up any excess milk to stop embarrassing stains on your clothing.
Our reusable organic cotton pads start at just £5
Sleepsuits
As babies spend most of their first year sleeping and changing nappies comfort and easy access is key. We recommend our Zipster zip-up sleepsuit’s made from 95% bamboo chemical-free and breathable.
