A practical yet thoughtful gift for any new parent, whether you’re having a singleton or multiples. This bedside crib promotes safe co-sleeping, bonding and is designed to make night-time feeds much easier. It’s large enough for two babies but not large enough to take up loads of space.

My sister swears by baby wearing as it makes her life easier and it’s one thing I am worried about I only have two hands, how am I going to be able to wear two babies.

It has a Unique Double-Pouch Construction, is Ergonomic and Hip Health, “Grows” with the Baby and is Easy to Use. I honestly can’t wait to use it and be able to carry both babies at once.

ubbi
Now depending on who you talk to, new mums say they desperately needed a nappy bin or it’s one thing they regret buying but I must say I love the Ubbi nappy bin. It’s new to the UK as a US brand are leading the way with innovation and modern design in their product range. It’s not hard to see why it’s their most award winning product. It’s a nappy bin made from steel, that comes in a variety of colours. Steel is not porous like plastic and shields the smell inside the bin as opposed to letting it transpire through. A real essential in the nursery! Also if doesn’t require special and expensive nappy bags… your regular black bin bag will do the trick!
