Essential tips for starting out with baby

Coming home with your baby there are certainly a few things that will make your new plus-one life easier. But don’t worry, it’s not as much as you might think. Here are some tips for putting together a good start kit for you and your baby.

Bringing-home-baby kit

From furniture to the smallest accessories, over time there are probably quite a few things you will pick up for your baby. But here’s a good list to begin with.

Baby cot with mattress, mattress protector and bedding
Changing table with handy storage and baby care mat
Chaise longue with cushions for nursing support
Soft rug or play mat in easy-clean material
Cuddly soft toys and baby biting toys
Baby bath, washcloths and towels

Soft textiles for cosy cuddles

When you pick out a duvet cover set for the cot, 100% cotton from more sustainable sources is a safe choice. The material breaths naturally, absorbs moisture and feels cosier against your baby’s skin for every wash.

Baby’s new best friends

A chaise longue for long snuggles

A special spot for nursing, like a comfy chaise longue or armchair, can make a big difference in coping with your baby’s feeding routine. It’s also a sweet spot for getting a little shut-eye while your baby is napping in the cot.

A changing table to avoid puddles

Keeping your baby dry and comfortable is easier with a proper changing table at the right height to save your back. This one has handy storage shelves and leaves a gap by the wall that’s great for hiding away a laundry bag.
