A good night’s sleep is what new parents’ sweet dreams are made of. The next best thing to being snug in Mum’s tummy or secure in Dad’s arms is a cosy wrap. The Gro-swaddle (from the makers of the indispensable Grobag) is a fool proof wrap with no poppers, velcro or ties to confuse your sleep-deprived brain. An innovative design with just the right amount of fabric to wrap without overheating = a better nights sleep all round!

See Roger Armstrong for more info and stockists.

Congratulations to our lucky winners:  C. Dittman of Alderley, QLD and P. Patterson of Randwick, NSW. (more…)

Is it going too far to say that some baby bedding is making me broody? When you see the exquisite block printed baby linen from Haveli Design you wont think so. Subtle elephant and botanical motifs are hand stamped on to 100% cotton voile, using the ancient Indian technique of wood block printing. The effect is a beautiful take on baby bedding that appeals to the bohemian in all of us. Choose from blankets, pillows, sheets and complete cot sets, for a classic nursery with a hint of the subcontinent. Check out Haveli’s lovely block printed kids’ clothing, too.

Available from Haveli Design – priced from $35

Watching your baby grow and thrive is one of the true pleasures of parenthood – but watching them squawk and cry as they lie freezing on the scales in the nurse’s office is not!

The clever MoniTub gets around this by letting you weigh your baby while you bathe them. As they sit blissfully in the bath support surrounded by warm water, you can use the electronic scale to monitor their development. It works for older babies too – simply remove the bath support and let them sit up. Even when you’re not using the weighing function, the LCD screen constantly monitors water temperature so you can keep it cosy and just right for your bub. Oh, and your baby comes out clean, too … win-win!

Available from Baby Bunting – $79

Spinning and twirling, these beautiful spiral mobiles bring the hand-drawn world of Wee Gallery to life. Sweet and serene, their deceptively simple designs have been created with baby’s-eye-view in mind. From the top we see beautiful botanical flowers or teddies flying through clouds, but looking from cot-level they form the geometric shapes and high-contrast patterns that babies most love to gaze at.

Available from The Hip Infant – $24.95
