Did you prepare too much food (on purpose) or are going on a journey? With food containers, your baby’s food is ready whenever you need it.

#25 Baby bath tubs – babies love water

Floating on water has a soothing effect on babies. That’s no surprise; it reminds them of their time in the womb.

These pillows can be used flexibly during pregnancy, for breastfeeding or to shelter your baby in the large bed.

#28 Pushchairs – falling asleep can be hard work

If all the carrying around, singing and gently rocking your baby doesn’t work, place your baby in a pushchair and take it for a walk outside. This is sure to help your little one fall asleep.

#29 Blankets – for the cold season

Always keep a blanket handy. In summer, it's ideal as a blanket on the ground and in winter, it can be used against the cold.

#30 Bedside cots – hungry all night long
