Making those first nights with your new baby easier

As a first time mother there were several products I didn't know about or consider taking to hospital. Second time around I was far more clued up about what was going to happen! Below are our top 5 recommendations for making those first nights a little easier for mother and baby:

1. Grobag Swaddling - This specially designed swaddling blanket recreates the comforting and soothing feeling of being in the womb, which helps baby to sleep more soundly and provides mum with some extra precious sleep.



2. Carriwell Lace Nursing Bra - if you're breastfeeding, you'll need to keep breast pads in place during the night with a nursing bra, however, traditional breastfeeding bras for the day will probably have uncomfortable clips at the back for sleeping. The Carriwell Lace Nursing Bra has no clips at the back and its flexible design easily adjusts with increases and decreases in bust size.



3. Lansinoh - if you're planning to breastfeed this product really can make all the difference by preventing or treating chapped and sore nipples.



4. Organic Nightgown - baby sleepsuits can be a fickle business for the first time mother (and second, third etc...) especially for those first nappy changes. Make life easier during the night with these nightgowns, which also have clever cuffs to stop baby scratching themselves.



5. Carriwell Hospital Pants - Extremely practical and also great for caesarean recuperation as it allows scars to breathe and won't irritate the scar.

The Cuddledry towel - a must have purchase for every new parent

The Cuddledry towel is the original classic apron-style bath towel which allows mums and dads to have two hands free to bath, lift and wrap their baby after bath. Whilst you may not need the Cuddledry towel in hospital, this is such a great product we couldn't resist offering it to our customers. Our top reasons for investing in this product are:

1. Made from organic cotton and bamboo fibre, so is not only eco-friendly but also beautifully soft to touch and use.
   
2. Takes the stress out of bathtime with a new baby, preventing the struggle of trying to hold both slippery baby and towel, wrap the baby, and stay calm - all at once!


3. Recognised by the Child Accident Prevention Trust as offering 'safer parenting'
   
4. A quality product which will be used time and time again without deteriorating or being outgrown in a matter of months.

Available in 5 different colours, Oatmeal, Pink, Blue, Natural White and the newest Cowprint design (as pictured). Save 10% until the end of February on all Cuddledry towels at Little Arrival Bag.
