Baby items you couldn't have lived without

[nomoreusernamesleft]

Due my second baby in September and want to make my life a little bit easier as I will still have another LO to look after. What are some items you could not have done without ?
Currently looking into getting snuzpod and a rocker bouncer chair (just unsure which one).

Insulated mug with lid. Perfect so you get a hot cup of tea or coffee.

Perfect prep machine
Next to me crib

Netflix for those early days where you’re camped on the sofa.

Jumperoo - absolutely invaluable.

Angel care bath support. Really handy so you have both hands free and can use the big bath rather than filling up a baby bath.

Glow in the dark dummies.

LOADS of muslin cloths.

Gro swaddle, or they might be called Gro Snug sleeping bags.

We had an Ingenuity automatic swinging chair also and DS2 LOVED it.

Mothercare swing (ds spent hours in this)
Music box for sleeping

For dc2 ill get a snuzpod type thing but it's defo not necessary, just useful for sleeping out and about.
Jumperoo- i actually sold mine as i only used it a few times
Dream sheep thing - did nothing for us

I know it's not everyone's favourite but the Tommee Tippee prep machine was a life saver for us (couldn't bf in the end).

Bath thermometer (Philips Avent), Grosnug sleeping bags, muslins, stretchy wrap (we just used a cheap one from Amazon which did the trick for our LO) and the Angelcare bath support (brilliant and has lasted us until my LO was 9 months)

Not much tbh. If there’s a baby number 2 we wouldn’t get much at all except a couple of packs of white babygrows!

We got a Snuggle bath which has worked well and a cuddle dry towel is useful.

She wouldn’t be put down so a fabric sling helped in the early days and now she’s bigger the Ergo baby is good.

• Perfect Prep 🙌🏻
• Meldela breast pump
• Shnuggle bath
• Lidl nappies
• back pack changing bag

I wish DD would have used her jumperoo/ mamaroo chair etc! £100’s wasted. But when you have a difficult baby with colic you will literally buy anything to help!
