A layette for a new-born

What should be included in a layette for a new-born? Every young parent is surely asking this question. It is worth remembering, that apart from such basic items as clothes, nappies, stroller or bed, you will also need some other accessories. Below you will find some tips what else you need to buy before your new family member is born.

Completing a layette can be a really tedious task for the future mum. Yes, at first, looking at children’s clothes and touching them brings a lot of joy but long hours of shopping is not an ideal task for a pregnant woman. Fortunately, a lot of accessories can be bought online without leaving one’s home.

Bed accessories

Apart from a bed with a mattress, you will need a cotton bedding and soft blanket and duvet to delicately wrap around your baby. A sleeping bag for your baby will also be useful as during its first weeks it will provide warmth and safety. A soft to the touch, colourful pillow – preferably flat – is perfect for the stroller or during traveling. Another useful accessory is a bed bumper that cushions hard rails and protects the child during sleep. A bed organizer will make storing of necessary accessories easier. In its large pockets, you can store, for example, a bottle, cream, nappies, soft wipes etc.

Changing and feeding

These are the two most frequently performed tasks around the baby, so you need to be prepared. A practical baby changing mat is indispensable. It will ensure comfortable and safe changing of your baby and will make taking care of the baby easier when not at home. When it comes to feeding your baby, a soft and comfortable pillow will be perfect. At uk.funwithmum.com you will find lovely Dolphin shaped pillows that make feeding your baby much easier. As your child grows, the pillow will become a soft toy.

What else is worth remembering? Care products, as well as soft to the touch baby towel with a hood, necessary for the bath must be on your to-have list. Such a towel will fully cover your baby, ensure warmth and will make the first baths more pleasant both for the baby and for the parents.
