First Baby Book
Newborn babies soon start to take an interest in things outside the sphere of Mummy and Daddy.
My baby loved to gaze at the Tiny Love Double Sided First Book with it’s vivid black and white pictures.
This is one of the best newborn toys. Our baby has played with this since she was a newborn and she still loves reading and playing with this toy now that she is 10 months old.
From age 3 months the reverse coloured side, with 3D illustrations and activities, keeps younger babies entertained with bright colours and crackly textured animals.
This book can conveniently be tied to your baby’s cot with the red ribbons attached to it.
Now my baby can sit up unaided she plays with this fold-out book on the floor, enjoying flipping it over and folding it up.
This first baby book will last months and months and provide hours of entertainment and play!
The Best Baby Weaning Products
Beaba Babycook Duo
Have fun with natural organic foods for your baby even in the early stages, everything your baby eats contributes to their health and wellbeing. I highly recommend good nutrition from the first spoonful of food your baby tastes.
The Beaba Babycook Duo Steamer and Blender will make your life a breeze when weaning your baby. It is an all-in-one Steamer, Cooker, Blender and Defroster. Saving you time and space in your kitchen!
When first weaning your baby it’s all about trying foods and getting a taste for them, getting used to solids and swallowing food rather than milk. It’s not about eating specific amounts of food as your baby will still need milk for 100% of their nutrition in the early days of weaning.
I love the Annabel Karmel Food Masher and Bowl
The bowl has inner ridges to help make mashing ever so quick and easy and the handle grip prevents slipping, as does the non-slip base on the bowl.
The Annabel Karmel Food Masher and Bowl is really convenient when you’re on the go or travelling, just pop in the soft fruit (some great fruits to try are banana, avocado, pear and peach) and cooked veg (you can try carrots, sweet potato, parsnip and swede) and you’ll have tasty and nutritious food for your baby in seconds.
Annabel Karmel’s New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner
which is a very handy book providing advice on what, when and how to wean, as well as including meal planners for the different stages of progression onto solids.
I frequently refer to Annabel Karmel’s New Complete Baby and Toddler Meal Planner which is bright and colourful with over 200 varied and easy recipes for purees and baby meals.
These recipes help to ensure your baby is getting the right combination of nutrients, proteins, carbs and fats. This book has certainly helped to make my life as a Mummy easier!
And when weaning you will certainly need some good bibs for your baby so we’ve selected the best baby bibs – these are truly brilliant!
Struggling to Find the Best Baby Names?
Pregnancy is a doddle when compared to finding the perfect name for your baby.
My husband and I spent months, weeks, days and hours brainstorming, debating and deliberating on names.
And the craziest thing of all was that I despised the names he liked and he wouldn’t (perhaps it was out of spite for me not liking his names) agree to any of the names I came up with.
The clock was ticking and I began to envisage us in hospital, with our new baby in our arms and a blank name tag, whilst we continued to try and reach a decision.
We desperately needed some guidance.
My husband was coming up with more and more bizarre names in an effort to be the one to find the perfect name for our baby.
I feared he was close to approaching wacky celebrity baby name status where the likes of Apple, Sage Moonblood, Ocean and Blue Angel exist.
I went straight to the bookshop for some advice and can heartily recommend 60,001 Best Baby Names
It’s not easy. The name you give your baby is the name he or she will be stuck with forever (that’s if they don’t change it by deed poll)!
They say that a name can influence the life of a person, their career and even their ability to interact successfully with others. And if you’re not feeling the strains of future parenthood yet, the pressure is on you to get it right!
