Tried and tested

As a first-time mum-to-be, I haven't really got a clue what the newborn will need.

Searching the internet brings up a host of funky and innovative gadgets and products that promise to make my life as both an expectant mum and a new mum so much easier.

As almost 750,000 babies are born in the UK each year, I figured I couldn't be alone in unravelling this maze of 'essentials'.

So I've tracked down some of the latest gadgets, funkiest clothes and cutest of miniature things to try out and over the coming months I'll be reviewing them and posting the results on here.

Let me know if you agree, or if your life is made simpler by something you've discovered.
