Hands Free!

“The best way to be able to get errands, chores and preparation done while keeping your newborn settled is to carry them in a sling or baby carrier. This way, you'll have your hands free and still have your newborn close to you.”

Managing Mishaps

“Time to clean just goes out of the window when your baby is small. After feeding the baby you might think that you get a chance to relax before the next feed comes round, but this isn't always the case. Keeping a stash of disinfecting wipes helps you to remove unwanted germs from your home quickly and easily, helping you keep on top of cleaning.”

Time Savers

“Never waste a journey up or downstairs. Keep a basket at the bottom of the stairs for things that need to go to a different part of the house. Then when you need to go upstairs you can bring every-thing at once if you have free arm space.”
