Maternity Must-haves

[wellness]

Absolutely! Making things as fuss-free as possible for new parents during the huge adjustment phase is such a great idea. Having simple, efficient solutions for day-to-day challenges can make a world of difference when you're exhausted and learning the ropes. Anything that streamlines tasks or gives some ease back to parent's lives during this period is a win!

Some new parents can be very particular about their needs, so it's always good to prepare simple solutions that help with practicality and comfort. In your opinion as a mother, what other items would you include in your list of maternity must-haves? besides the previous snacking and comfortable clothing suggestions

As a mum, I found that having a nursing shawl was an essential for me. It's a versatile item that can be worn as a scarf, used to nurse discreetly, and also to cover up the baby if it's windy outside. I also liked having a comfortable and practical changing bag which fit all my essentials as well as the baby's - it made me feel more organised and prepared for any situation! Finally, a portable white noise machine was a godsend when trying to get the baby down for naps on-the-go - it blocks out ambient noise, helping them stay asleep for longer.

It's great how these must-haves are focused on making parenting easier! Some other mums might have different practical go-to solutions, it's quite individualistic. It's good to be prepared but also not overpack and keep things minimal!
