for mums

No one knows better than real mums and dads which products are truly indispensable when you're caring for a developing three-month-old. These buys get the tried-and-tested thumbs-up
3-piece toothbrush
starter set
all smiles
"We weren't really looking forward to introducing Daniel to the delights of oral hygiene, but our toothbrush set made the whole process painless (for all of us!). We started with the finger toothbrush, which is small enough to pop into a tiny mouth, then moved on to the toddler toothbrush. The gum massager was a real help with the soreness of teething, too.'
Rachel Weisenfeld, mum to Daniel, two years
ELC buggy drive
fun on the go
"Kit loves having something to look at and play with when we're out with the pushchair. When he was smaller I think he just enjoyed looking at the bright colours, but as soon as he could reach out and grab things he started to play with the spinning toys and rattles. His favourite thing is gazing into the mirror on the lion's tummy! '
Orla O'Brien, mum to Kit, seven months
Inflatable bath
splish splash safe
'Robert is a real water baby and bathing him is one of the jobs that I get to help out with while having fun at the same time. Our inflatable baby bath sits in the big one and makes sure bathtime is comfortable and safe - and of course it's ideal for taking away with us.'
Tim Ewing, dad to Robert, three months
Bumbo™ baby
sitter and play tray
(in exclusive red)
sitting pretty
'The Bumbo is really handy when your baby is four months old or so. Mary is still a bit small for her high chair but she happily sits in this while I feed her. It's not just for dinner time, mind you - the tray clips in and gives her somewhere to keep her toys close by.'
Joy Adeyemo, mum to
Mary, six months
Retractable car
sunblinds
goodbye to glare
Leona's generally pretty good in the car, but on a bright day she can get a bit grumpy with the glare of the sun. Our blinds didn't cost much and do the job of keeping the sun out of her eyes and stopping her getting too hot. Car journeys are a lot more peaceful since we installed them in both our cars.'
Carly Simmons, mum to Leona, five months, and Elijah, two years
