Knowing exactly what to buy when you're expecting a baby can be tricky; from car seats to muslins to breast pads, the list is endless. The best advice often comes from those who have already been through it and know what worked well from experience. We asked a few of our MORI Instagram Community parents what three items they couldn't have survived without as a new parent, and here are their essentials...
What to put on your newborn baby shopping list
-
Sleepyhead, MORI blanket & treacle sponge pudding from M&S

A lovely soft blanket e.g. MORI, that you can swaddle with if needed, lansinoh ointment, nursing pads and lots of coconut water to drink

Baby MORI Sleeping Bag, an absolute fave <3, Snuzpod for safe night time cuddles and Tommee Tippee prep machine!
