The Best Baby Cots
Baby cots range in price, quality and size.
Many parents choose a Moses Basket initially and find a couple of months later their precious little one is well on their way to outgrowing it.
A great option is to purchase a quality cot that is suitable from birth to around 18 months. This will give you much more flexibility and save you money.
Cot accessories make spending time in the cot more enjoyable for baby, we’ve hand picked the best baby mobile.
John Lewis has one of the best selections of baby cots and cotbeds.
A mattress is essential for your baby’s cot. There’s a great selection of cot and cotbed mattresses at John Lewis, ranging from £30 to £170.
We always put Imogen to sleep in a Baby Sleeping Bag. We can rest assured she is safe and won’t kick any sheets or blankets over her head.
Bibetta Bibs the Best Baby Bibs
I’ve spent a lot of time and money on bibs for my baby. There are so many to choose from in different designs, colours and materials. Finally I discovered Bibetta Ultrabibs which are truly the best baby bibs and I’ve never looked back.
Bibetta Ultrabibs are made from neoprene (the same durable material wetsuits are made from) and are waterproof, absorbent, flexible, stain-resistant and wipe clean.
They’re quick-drying and safe to put in the washing machine and tumble drier plus the material is so soft it doesn’t rub on your baby’s delicate neck area.
Bibetta Ultrabibs feature a unique reversible pocket which gives a catch-all bib option, perfect for weaning you baby.
They come in sizes from 4 months to 4 years so your baby can really make the most of their fun mealtime experiences.
The Importance of Reading to Baby
Jellycat Jungly Tails Book
It’s never too early to start reading to your baby.
Reading is a wonderful way to communicate and bond, as well as being a fun activity for both you and your baby.
As you read, your baby will listen to you talking and is comforted by your voice and being held close to you.
Reading encourages your baby to understand the different sounds of speech, the use of language and non-verbal communication through facial expressions and gestures.
Children whose parents read books to them when they are young often learn to talk, read and write more easily.
Parents, grandparents, siblings and friends can all share in the pleasures of reading to baby, making reading a varied and enjoyable learning experience.
Have fun reading to baby during playtime, in the bath and before bedtime:
Part of baby’s daily activity and play teaching baby about sound, texture, visual stimulus and music.
Have fun splishing about with bath time books suitable for water and lots of splish splash sploshing!
Help baby understand the routine of sleep with relaxation before slumber.
