10 BABY ESSENTIALS WE USE & RECOMMEND

Updated: Apr 10


It's a very handy device that lets out a 'sshhhh' on repeat with just a press of a button. Perfect for hanging on the door handle of the room your baby is sleeping in. You can have on the lowest volume setting to soothe from a far. Worked great for us. I'd finish feeding before each nap, press the on button and walk away with ease as if i'm still in the room shushing away. The device features other soothing sounds but the shusher replicated my voice perfectly, no need for the others! There's also a cry sensor, if the baby cries the shusher comes on automatically to soothe baby!




We loved the traditional muslin swaddles but this went the extra mile. Cocooned our baby so perfectly that he thought he was still in my arms. It's snuggly without being restrictive. Breathable and soft material too. A winner in our household.


Great for bedtime, arms out as it helps regulate their temperature. Even when it was 16 degrees in the house, these sacks kept Teddy warm and cosy during the winter. Organic cotton is a must for breathability and no nasty chemicals to breathe in or touch the skin.


If the swaddalini doesn't feel like that's for you, large swaddle blankets are a must. Wrap them up like a little burrito and they feel they are still in the womb. Comfy and snoozing away.


Once you try a zip sleepsuit you probably won't go back. The zip makes for easy changing in the night and putting on after bath time. These are organic cotton with feet for the colder months - perfect!



We found this style perfect for our son up to around 7 months old. Safe and easy to wash him in the bath.


You will need a soft, non intrusive light to tap on easily whilst sorting out your baby during the night. For feeding or changing this one is perfect.



Makes for easy changing in the night. Fill it up with nappies, wipes, spare change of clothes in case of any accidents and you're set for the evening ahead.


Hands down the best nappy cream for sore bottoms. The zinc oxide heals the skin fast and the gentle formula keeps redness at bay.

Baby wearing is lovely but can be painful if you had a big baby like us (10lbs 4oz for those wondering). That's why we had to make sure we had a carrier that was a supportive and comfortable as possible. This one is great for forward/back facing AND you can put them on your back.
