The Best Newborn Nappies

| January 7, 2012

Did you know the average baby goes through around 5000 nappies, that’s a lot of nappies!

After trial and error with several brands of nappies, I can thoroughly say the best newborn nappies are Huggies Newborn Nappieswhich are made from organic cotton.

We found Huggies Newborn Nappiesprovided the softest and most comfortable fit for our baby, as well as reducing the chance of leaks.

I used to buy my baby’s nappies from the supermarket, until I discovered you can buy Huggies Nappies from Amazonin bulk at a much reduced price and with free delivery.

Once my baby reached Size 4 nappies we moved into Huggies Super Dry Nappies.They’re superb for going the distance at night time and perfectly fit our very wriggly, almost crawling baby!

If you’re wanting to take your baby swimming Huggies Little Swimmersare the best nappies for use in water. Enjoy splish splash sploshing about without any worry!


 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

The Best Newborn Toys

| January 4, 2012

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!

Here are some of my baby’s best newborn toys:

Skip Hop Baby Toys

The Best Baby Mobile

Lamaze Pyramid Activity Mat & Play Gym

Lamaze Octotunes Octopus

Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes

Are You A Baby Whisperer?

| December 19, 2011

I recommend you read the insightful book The Baby Whisperer Solves All Your Problemsby Tracy Hogg before you have your baby and refer back to it when necessary once you’ve had your baby.

There’s so much useful information in this book that I use it when I need guidance with a particular issue, or just to check if I’m doing things right.

It focuses on sleep, feeding, the behaviour of your baby and everything in between. Even my husband has turned to this book for advice several times, now that’s saying something!

I diligently made a list of ‘how to parent’ books I wanted to read before I had my baby. But I’d forgotten, things never go according to plan!

In the month before our baby was due we decided we had to have our bathroom renovated. Time slipped through my fingers as I sourced tiles, tap fittings and a new showerhead.

No problem I thought, I’ll have plenty of time when my baby’s born and she’s sleeping peacefully in her Moses Basket whilst I relax on the sofa next to her. Ha!

In the early days my baby didn’t like to sleep too much in the hours of daylight. And when she did sleep, it was mandatory she was swaddled and held (thank you Moby Wrap for helping with this).

So in those rare moments of slumber during the day, they certainly didn’t allow me much time to hold a book!
