Carry on coping

BabyBjorn Miracle Baby Carrier

RRP £114.99

www.babybjorn.co.uk

I had every intention of using the carrier for long walks in the country and strolls along beaches.

But sadly, so far, apart from the odd walk around the block, it has been used mainly for hoovering, sorting laundry and tidying up.

For it seems Milo is going through a 'clingy' stage, and threatens to scream the house down when I let go of him. And so when that happens, I plonk him in the carrier and can go about my daily business two-handed and in peace.

A lifesaver

Ewan The Dream Sheep Sleep Aid

Anyone with a newborn knows that settling them down to sleep can be somewhat of a trauma.

Fortunately, Milo has been pretty good, and nods off himself in the moses basket.

In the middle of the night, however, when the house is deadly silent and I can hear him starting to break in to a scream, Ewan The Dream Sheep has become my lifesaver.

Night or day, babies love to be snuggled up in something cosy.

This funky unisex blanket from By Carla, with a bright pattern on one side and faux fur on the reverse, does the job perfectly.

Doodle Zoo Grobag

£25.99

www.gro-store.co.uk

When pregnant and reading baby books, many stated newborns sleep for up to 20 hours a day.

This is, in fact, a lie.

They are awake demanding your constant attention for 20 hours a day.

But for the other four hours, they love a good snooze, and being snug as a bug in a sleeping bag ensures a lovely rest.

Bubble time

Organic Babies No Scent Baby Wash and No Scent Baby Oil

£6.89 and £9.95

www.greenpeople.co.uk 

For the first four weeks of his life, bathtime was pretty dull for my little man, as we followed the midwife's instructions and used only water on his peachy soft skin.

But now we've moved on to a whole new experience - bubbles.
