Blankets
If you prefer blankets to baby sleeping bags then you need to stock up on a few in case of accidents. There are so many to choose from, we love a funky blanket here at BBG. Brora do gorgeous lambswool blankets and they have one on sale reduced from £29 to £19.
Towels
I loved using hooded towels when my kids were babiess and would have definitely have used The Clevamama Baby Bath Towel if I had known about it. Easy to use, it helps protects your clothes from getting wet and lets you use both hands for taking your bambino out of the bath. Available from Whizzbitz for £14.69.
Feeding Gear
Depending on your choice whether you want to breast or bottle feed will decide on what you need. If you are going to breastfeed, then you will need nursing bras and breast pads or if you decide to bottle feed you will need bottles, a steriliser, teats etc. Shown is a nursing bra from Figleaves, the Emma Jane range, which starts from 32b upwards for £15. If you’re on a very tight budget, Primark also does nursing bras for around £3-£4.
Car Seat
It is a legal requirement that your newborn leaves the hospital in a proper fitted infant car seat when travelling in a car. There are many to choose from including the Graco Logico S with a base from Kiddicare. Now £69.99 was £129.99. I also highlighted that Maxi Cosi’s Happy Flower is half price at the moment.
Pushchair
You need to get one that suits your life, preferably with a lie-down option for newborns. Check out this OBaby Atlas Stroller from our favourite Budget store - Kiddicare for £54.97.
