1. aden + anais Classic Swaddle
Wrapping a baby can help them settle and the aden + anais Classic Swaddle comes highly recommended by mums and dads. This 100 percent cotton muslin swaddle is designed to be breathable and can be used in many ways, such as a burp cloth, tummy time blanket and when nursing.
One parent said in their review, “These were my favourite swaddles to use. We used them for swaddling, as a pram cover, breastfeeding cover, a blanket. Needless to say, it was very useful.” Just make sure you follow safe swaddling guidelines and remember that all babies are different, so if your bub doesn’t seem to be enjoying it – that’s totally normal too.

2. Weleda Baby & Child Calendula Nappy Change Cream
Nappy rash is really common and at some stage, your nappy-wearing baby will, unfortunately, experience it. When it comes to treatment, simple remedies are the best – like getting fresh air on it, frequent nappy changes, and using a barrier cream. Weleda Baby & Child Calendula Nappy Change Cream is highly rated and contains lanolin and zinc oxide to protect the skin in your baby’s nappy area. At the same time, the organic almond oil, organic calendula and chamomile extracts help soothe baby’s sensitive skin.
As one reviewer said: “The smell is pleasant, it applies easily, but the consistency is still thick enough to act as a barrier and it is the fastest working cream in healing my bubs nappy rash.”
