Bringing-home-baby kit

From furniture to the smallest accessories, over time there are probably quite a few things you will pick up for your baby. But here’s a good list to begin with.

  • Baby cot with mattress, mattress protector and bedding
  • Changing table with handy storage and baby care mat
  • Chaise longue with cushions for nursing support
  • Soft rug or play mat in easy-clean material
  • Cuddly soft toys and baby biting toys
  • Baby bath, washcloths and towels

Soft textiles for cosy cuddles

When you pick out a duvet cover set for the cot, 100% cotton from more sustainable sources is a safe choice. The material breaths naturally, absorbs moisture and feels cosier against your baby’s skin for every wash.

A chaise longue for long snuggles

A special spot for nursing, like a comfy chaise longue or armchair, can make a big difference in coping with your baby’s feeding routine. It’s also a sweet spot for getting a little shut-eye while your baby is napping in the cot.

A changing table to avoid puddles

Keeping your baby dry and comfortable is easier with a proper changing table at the right height to save your back. This one has handy storage shelves and leaves a gap by the wall that’s great for hiding away a laundry bag.
