bbhugme Pregnancy Pillow, Mori

A fabulous essential for pregnancy and beyond, the bbhugme Pregnancy Pillow available at Mori is a key product for new and expectant mums.

The bbhugme Pregnancy Pillow was developed by three Norwegian female chiropractors to help pregnant women sleep better by supporting the belly, pelvis, lower back and legs. The pillow can be adjusted to find the perfect firmness and shape for your body as it grows and changes using the pebbles at each end. Due to the pillow’s versatile design, it can be used as a full body pillow, backrest or doughnut shape allowing you to rest on your stomach. The pillow can also be used post-pregnancy as nursing support or to lay your baby in. The washable cover is made from cotton with stretch so it’s soft against the skin.

MyCarrier, Stokke

When it comes to shopping for the best products for new mums, a baby carrier is the way forward. Being about to wear your baby frees you up to get out of the house, and be free at home to get things done. It’s also a great way to bond with your baby.  It’s important to note that choosing the right carrier is an important decision, as everybody is different.

We love the Stokke® MyCarrier™. It’s been carefully designed and ergonomically developed to offer a tailor-made fit to mums and dads of all sizes as well as your growing baby. The MyCarrier is completely adjustable to ensure the correct weight distribution, and with its softly padded cotton fabric it makes carrying comfortable for parent and child alike.

With dual compression technology to support the core, hips and back, it helps to alleviate back pain and improving posture. The band is designed to gently realign your abdominal muscles too. It’s safe and comfortable to use during all your daily activities as well as use during physical exercise.

Genève II, BÉABA

You’ll need a decent changing bag from day one, and you can pack yours full of hospital essentials for when you have your newborn. It’s worth considering what you want out of your changing bag, whether you prefer to wear a backpack, a shoulder bag or one that can clip to a stroller.

We love Béaba’s gorgeous Genève II. It’s an adjustable changing bag with a large capacity in a decidedly modern style. It has a detachable pouch which is ideal for short trips, and its integrated stroller straps with snap links are adaptable to the majority of strollers with handlebars or handles.

Stretch Mark Oil & Mother & Baby Massage Oil, Matchstick Monkey

Matchstick Monkey’s soothing and calming oils are suitable for sensitive skin and offer an extra moisturising layer for you and your baby.

Stretch marks are part and parcel of most pregnancies, and it can be difficult to know which products to use to help ease itching and soothe skin. This new Stretch Mark Oil in the Matchstick Monkey babycare collection promotes skin elasticity and can even help to minimise the appearance of stretch marks over time.

There are so many benefits of baby massage, from easing of colic and reflux symptoms, to deepening the mother and baby bond to offering a bit of mindfulness for mums.

A deeply nourishing massage oil, it works to strengthen skin from the very first use. The Matchstick Monkey Mother & Baby Massage oil will also leave skin feeling soft, supple and nourished,
