Coming in two parts is this essential guide to our top 10 essential newborn best buys.

Nappies

You have a choice of real nappies, eco- friendly disposables or normal disposables. Check out Little Lambs website where they are offering customers to try out The Original Cotton Nappy Trial Kit for £8.50. Two sizes available. We also highly recommend Fill Your Pants.

Bodysuits

Bodysuits are a must have, as your bambino will live in these to begin with. Remember to wash your babies clothes before wearing. I have found a pack of 5 for £19.99. Made from organic cotton with a cute animal print on the front in white so it does not matter what sex your bambino is. Available from Little Butterfly. For non-organic, a tighter budget, but still great quality, John Lewis is fantastic, with stuff like 7 short-sleeved bodysuits for £8.

Babygros

Ideal when small for either lounging about at home or when going to bed, there are some very funky babygros out there to suit all budgets. I have chosen to highlight an organic cotton stripey babygro from favourites of ours DamTam for £8.99. Comes in a choice of 2 colours and sizes 0-3 to 12-18 months. Again John Lewis is brilliant.

Cardigans

These will come in handy in the cooler months. There are so many to choose from but I have chosen a lambswool mix from Vertbaudet, coming in 2 colours. Available in sizes 3-18 months for £9.

Moses Basket

I had a moses basket for all of mine and loved it, although some people pass on having one. You can always sell it on or buy a pre-used one if you wish to reduce your costs. I have found one at Hippins which includes the mattress, light top quilt, soft maize basket and dressings in a pale yellow colour with a Jungle ABC design. Available for £59.95.

    We had some of the farmyard body suits you have pictured above - they are so cute! It is worth noting they come up very small - ToddlerGeek had a set of 0 - 3 month size and they were more on a par with the smaller newborn sizes. Kat x
