The Best Cot Bed

| March 18, 2012

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.

Starchild Leather Baby Shoes

| March 17, 2012

Janet Middleton, founder and designer of Starchild Shoes kindly sent us a pair of leather baby shoes to try.

Starchild Shoes design and make the most beautiful leather shoes for babies, toddlers and children.

We received a pair of Orchid baby booties from Starchild’s Little Petals range. They are a brilliant pink colour with orchid designs on each shoe in a soft pink and black.

I was really surprised at just how soft and comfortable the booties are. They’re 100% leather, allowing baby’s feet room to grow and the ability to breathe.

All of Starchild’s Shoes are made in a traditional shoe factory in the UK with an emphasis on sustainability, caring for the environment and customer service.

Baby shoe sizes start from newborn, keeping baby’s feet warm and stylish from birth. Shoe sizes go all the way up to 10 years old so as your children grow they can continue to wear unique, fashionable and comfortable leather shoes.

You can be sure of the individuality of Starchild Shoes as they use high quality, soft leather from Italian tanneries in exclusive colours for Starchild Shoes.

Their shoes conform to European safety standards and contain no harmful chemicals or dyes, making it safe for when baby is teething and decides to have a little gnaw on his or her booties!

Presented in gift boxes or pouch bags, Starchild Shoes make the perfect present. Starchild offer free UK delivery.

The Best Baby Changing Bag

| March 16, 2012

A changing bag is an absolute necessity when you have a baby.

Being able to easily carry nappies, wipes, nappy bags, bottles, formula, food, a change of clothes, hand sanitiser, pram blanket, a coat or cardigan in case the weather changes, sun hat, baby shoes…

I also use our changing bag to carry essentials for myself such as keys, phone, purse and lip gloss.

If you’re looking for the best baby changing bag, that’s functional and stylish you will find it with a Babymel Changing Bag.

BabyMel Big Slouchy Changing Bag

One of the best things about the Babymel Changing Bag is its unique and patent pending strollerstrap design which allows you to attach the changing bag to your pram or pushchair or buggy without it coming undone or slipping down the frame of the pram.

Babymel Changing Bags come with a matching changing mat which fits neatly in one of the interior pockets of the changing bag. There’s also an insulated bottle bag for keeping a bottle warm in winter or cool in summer, with interior or exterior pockets for carrying your baby’s bottles in.

I can’t go anywhere without my Babymel Changing Bag!
