Emma Louise Connolly's best baby buys

Emma wrote, “These @adenandanais muslins are literally the best thing ever. We have so many of them & I LOVE them. They are huge and have so many uses (swaddling, a light blanket, mopping up spew…) They are such beautiful cotton, prints & wash so well. Would be such a good practical gift for little people too!”

Emma shared, “We live in London so it’s perfect for nipping from A-B in the car & not waking her up to transfer into a buggy/buggy frame. I wouldn’t put her in here for a long time because it doesn’t recline but it’s SO great for short, quick trips. And she loves it!”

“We opted for a YoYo & a @bugaboouk Fox3," wrote Emma. "We haven’t used the Bugaboo yet just because she’s so tiny & we aren’t really doing long walks at the minute but I absolutely love both & wouldn’t be without either of them. They will both grow with her & the YoYo is perfect for travelling as well as being in London (it’s small enough to sit next to basically any table in a restaurant!)” Emma has the newborn bassinet on the frame, available to buy together in this bundle.

Emma said, “A @dockatot. It’s a must. I’ve linked the one we have, I put one of the big muzzys over it so it stays clean!”

“Her little bath. She loves it! & we love that she is supported on the removable mesh hammock.”

“I think this is probably the best product of them all," shared Emma. "We opted for the @owletcareuk monitor & smart sock because I am such a worrier & would stare at her constantly to make sure she was breathing. It monitors her heart rate & oxygen levels & alerts us if they drop below normal. It also gives us a report of her sleep (lol sleep) & activity in the morning. 100/10 couldn’t recommend more.”

“I love this one because she’s so dinky & she’s really supported in this. Also comes in fun prints & fabrics.”

“This! Also a good pressie. Attach to the pram for a little hands-free rocking.”

Emma wrote, “She sleeps in a Halo Bassinet & we have an overnight sleep approved @purflosleep baby bed inside as both sides of the bed & bassinet are mesh & it makes her a little more cosy while being fully breathable. We didn’t opt for a sleep assisted bassinet (although the Halo does vibrate & play music, but we don’t use that features) as I didn’t want her to become dependent on motion/sounds to be able to sleep. Having mesh sides was a deal-breaker for me in choosing our bassinet so I could see her from my lying down eyeline in bed next to me. She also naps in here in the day”.

“The best nappies, wipes & bags and delivered straight to the door on subscription. I heard from all of my friends with children that these were the best (none of them have ever had a nappy rash, neither has Bonnie) & they are also kind to the environment as well as to skin. Check them out on their website for all info on sustainability etc. and also founded by a Spice Girl so sign me up!”

Nappy Caddy Organiser

“Also these nappy caddies. I have one upstairs & one downstairs & they are the dream to have all the things in for tiny bums”
