The Best Baby Digital Ear Thermometer
It’s important to have the best baby digital ear thermometer for the safety of your baby. As a parent you need to know quickly if your baby’s not well so you can respond accordingly with the right treatment.
I bought the Braun ThermoScan 5 IRT4520 Ear Thermometer
This digital ear thermometer is suitable for newborn babies and can be used to take the temperature of the whole family.
I chose this thermometer as it’s used in hospitals and at Doctor’s surgeries.
It gives precise results quickly and it’s so easy to use that my baby doesn’t mind having her temperature taken.

When do you take your baby’s temperature?
The Best Cot Bed
Your baby will probably sleep in a moses basket until they are around 6 months old when they will be starting to out grow the moses basket and need a larger area to sleep in. If your baby is able to rollover a moses basket certainly won’t leave much room for their new sleeping positions!
When we were setting up our baby’s nursery we purchased the East Coast Country Cot Bed.
After looking at many other cot beds I know we made the right decision with this one and it looks truly gorgeous in our baby’s nursery.
This is the best cot bed for quality, style, price and it’s suitable from birth to approximately 6 years.
The East Coast Country Cot Bed is a quality cot bed in a classic style cot that will suit any nursery. It looks beautiful as a cot bed and when it’s converted into a starter bed with lovely curved head and foot boards.
The East Coast Country Cot Bed has a refined and classic appearance with beautifully curved top rails. It has a soft look to compliment any nursery.
Features of the East Coast Country Cot Bed:
- 3 mattress base heights – as your baby grows and is able to sit up, kneel and stand you can adjust the height of the cot bed to create a safe sleeping place for your baby
- 2 fixed sides
- 2 split ends to convert to bed mode
- The sides of the cot have protective teething rails
- Crafted from pine
- Available in an antique or white finish
- Suitable from birth to approximately 18 months as a cot bed
- Suitable from 18 months to 6 years as a starter bed
- Cot bed dimensions length 145 cm x width 77 cm x height 101 cm
- Conforms to BSEN 716
The East Coast Country Cot Bed requires a cot bed mattress measuring 140 cm x 70 cm.
I recommend the John Lewis Spring Cotbed Mattress L140 x W70cm for this cot bed.
And we love the Jolly Day Out cot bed fitted sheets by The Gro Company.
The Best Moses Basket
A moses basket provides a safe and snug place for your newborn to sleep.
Moses baskets are perfect for newborns and your baby will be able to sleep in it until they’re around 6 months old.
The benefit of a Moses Basket is you can carry it around the house using the attached handles, so baby is always close to you.
I found this wonderful for my newborn, being able to transport her around the house meant I could get on with things whilst my baby slept peacefully.
The Emile et Rose Moses Basket is the best moses basket with strong leather straps so you can safely and easily transport your baby around the house with you. It has a classic and traditional white design and is finished with an adjustable hood, clipping fabric and lace trim. It comes complete with covers made of soft cotton. The coverlet has an embroidered rabbit design.
Another great option for a Moses Basket if you’re looking for something a little less expensive is the John Lewis Waffle Moses Basket. Priced at only £35 it’s the best moses basket you can buy for the quality and price. You can purchase this with the John Lewis Moses Basket Stand which fold away flat for easy storage.
