Bottom row- Love Me Baby wrap, Sleepy Wings & Aden and Anais Muslin Cloths

Just recently bought some baby "essentials" from Urbanbaby which is one of my favourite sites for baby stuff!

Deluxe Drying Rack by Prince Lionheart
I like to have things a bit organised in the kitchen (not that it is very organised at the moment!) so this drying rack was great to separate the dish rack from the bottles. It has easy instructions (picture instructions are more user friendly for me) and was setup and ready for use in no time! Very handy :)

Mor-stor Baskets
This is great for putting all your nappies, lotions, cotton wools, towels and washers etc. It looks fab on the shelf or you can put it near your changing station and have everything you need close by. And when baby is all grown up you can use it in your drawers for your underwear or scarves etc.

Love Me Baby Wrap
I wanted to try this as it was a lightweight material which is good for hot days. Lucas was sweating so much in the Merinokids Cocooi wrap that I mentioned in a previous post. I will save it for cooler days! Lovemebaby wrap is a cinch to use- just zip up and baby is nicely snug. However, Lucas could still rub his face with his arms which will wake him up constantly. So I gave up on it. Maybe it works great with babies who like to have access to their hands as some do to comfort themselves. 

Sleepy Wings  
This is so adorable when Lucas was using it. It's like a little shrug that keeps their arms up or down which ever they prefer and has a pocket for a dummy. Although it looks super cute I find it has the same problem as the Lovemebaby wrap- they can still touch their face. I tried to use it upside down but Lucas could still manage to get his hands up! So I guess I will stick with good old swaddling for now.

so cute!

Aden & Anais Muslin Wraps

A very verstile item to have and has many uses! The good thing is that it's very large so I can use it for swaddling, as a pram cover and I have heard that people use it as a makeshift baby sling! I also recommend their other products too! I bought the burp cloths and wash cloths. I have yet to try the sleeping bags. Have to wait till Lucas is a bit bigger. (And he is getting very big!)

"Do I look fat in this?"

Mummy's Best Buys

 Baby Bonds Singlet

 They are easy to put on and easy to take off.

The neckline is stretchy so no need to pull over baby's head and face.

Lucas in his Bond's Tank top- Ships Ahoy!

Maternity PJ set by Peter Alexander

 So comfy and looks great, especially for when visitors come over!

Mustela Products

I received some samples from the hospital and fell in love with the hair and body gel.

 It smells heavenly! I liked it so much I bought the facial wipes, bath oil, massage oil and two bottles of the hair and body gel.

Phillips Avent Steam Steriliser

Couldn't live without this! It makes cleaning and sterilising bottles so easy. I use it several times throughout the day! I even use it to sterilise other baby equipment such as the thermal flask and dummies etc.

Cocooi Babywrap by Merino Kids

I bought the wrap from Urbanbaby.com.au but you can purchase it directly from Merinokids.com as well. I was using cotton or muslin wraps at the hospital and found myself rewrapping Lucas several times as he is quite the squirmy little baby and gets himself unwrapped quite easily. With the Cocooi wrap it was so much easier. The material is soft and not irritating to his skin and it lets him move around and kicks his legs. Plus he sleeps much better! It's the ultimate must have for babies:) I loved this so much I bought another two as soon as I got home from the hospital.

Gaia Baby Massage Oil

I received a sample pack of Gaia products from a friend and thought it was an ok product. I still recommend the Mustela product range though. However, the massage oil is a winner for me. I love the smell and it's not oily and sticky at all! I used this when Lucas's skin was dry and flaky during the early days.

Huggies Nappies

I haven't tried other nappies as yet but the Huggies are great so far. Disposables are so convenient for me and saves me the trouble of washing. Love the cute cartoons on the nappies too!

If you have any other recommendations please let me know!
