I’m pregnant
Congratulations, in a few months you’ll be a mummy! So let’s look at some products that will make you and your body more comfortable during pregnancy.
Many pregnant women are dealing with stretch marks – but there’s no need to panic because of a few scars. Your body is capable of growing a whole gorgeous baby from one tiny cell in only nine months, and you should be proud of that! When it comes to stretch marks, you can prevent them with thorough moisturising. Make sure to drink plenty of fluids and put an anti-stretch mark cream on any areas prone to scars (tummy, chest, thighs and buttocks) twice a day.

Packing for the hospital
When the last trimester comes, it means one thing: It’s time to pack your hospital bag!
Here’s a list of all the essentials you’ll need:
- your maternity notes
- your birth plan (if you have one)
Your pregnancy bag should include basic toiletries as well as pregnancy pads along with a few pairs of breathable disposable knickers. Not every hospital has a nice and soft toilet paper, so pack at least two rolls with you. Breastfeeding pads are a clever little thing you can insert in your bra to absorb any leaking milk.
Our tip! Make sure to pack knickers that are a size larger than you normally wear. After giving birth it’s all about comfort rather than aesthetics.

I’m a mum now
You’re finally home with your new baby and you’re trying to find a daily routine that suits the whole family. Luckily there are many products to make this hectic time easier.
Changing your baby’s nappies will become part of your daily life. The gentlest and most simple way to wash your baby is in the wash basin in the bathroom under a lukewarm running water. You’ll also appreciate some good baby wipes for on-the-go cleaning. Make sure to let your baby’s skin breathe and moisturise it on a regular basis to prevent nappy rash. Classic cloth nappies are an exceptionally handy product. They double as a multi-purpose baby towel.
Our tip! Gentle bamboo nappies are great for wiping your baby’s sensitive skin. They’re much softer than cotton ones.
