Boody Babygrow
Boody Baby is a range of extraordinarily soft, but practical, tops, bottoms, onesies, bibs and wraps.
Stretchy, seam free fabric provides plenty of movement and while the range is very affordable, much attention has been paid to the details, with matching coloured snap fastenings and contrast binding.
Made from 100% organic bamboo, Boody Baby is the ideal fabric for babies’ sensitive skin, because in addition to being incredibly soft, it’s also hypo allergenic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, breathes well and helps regulate temperature.
The range is available in three gorgeous shades, rose, sky and chalk and is sweetly packaged in tiny boxes.

ASDA's Little Angels Nappies
It’s crucial parents trust their nappy to keep their baby dry and to provide parents with the very best option, Asda Little Angels has redesigned and improved its Newborn, and Comfort and Protect nappy ranges, helping parents navigate ‘nappyland’ and keep babies happy in their nappies.
The newly designed nappies now feature SmartFlo™ absorbency, where multiple channels in the nappy absorb wetness, leading to a slimmer, more comfortable nappy. Available in stores and online now, the new design:
- Distributes wetness more evenly for better comfort – no more sagging nappies!
- Absorbs moisture quicker, for less leaks
- Is slimmer in size, so little ones can keep on moving and wriggling in a less bulky nappy
- Has an improved fit around the waist to keep everything inside
Not only are the nappies improved for little ones and their parents, there’s environmental benefits too – with slimmer nappies, plastic levels have been reduced by 40 tonnes, meaning there’s 148 fewer trucks on the road distributing the nappies.

Bickiepegs Finger Toothbrush and Gum Massager
Bickiepegs Finger Toothbrush and Gum Massager is designed to gently clean a baby’s first teeth and massage their gums. Regular use of this new oral care product is a great way to introduce your baby early to the sensations of having their teeth and gums cleaned. Morning and evening daily use will help maintain good oral hygiene. The Finger Toothbrush and Gum Massager is double-sided - with soft bristles on one side to ensure that any existing teeth are kept clean, and then a dimpled reverse-side which offers gums a soothing massage. It is important to clean teeth from the moment they erupt and keeping a baby’s gums clean will ensure that their mouths are in good condition - ready for the arrival of new teeth as they appear. The Finger Toothbrush and Gum Massager is suitable for babies of 0-18 months.

The Doidy Cup and Bowl
THE FAMOUS DOIDY CUP:
The Doidy Cup, with its small handles, has been scientifically designed with a unique slant that allows a young child to see the level of the liquid in the cup as they tilt to drink. The Doidy Cup, which has been endorsed by Health Professionals including Doctors, Dentists, Midwives and Health Visitors for almost 70 years, helps to teach an infant to drink from the rim of an open cup rather than from a spout or teated bottle, which carries many benefits. Indeed, health professionals promote the use of the Doidy Cup to help prevent premature tooth decay, poor feeding techniques and delayed speech development. This unique weaning cup encourages good oral movements and helps to develop chewing skills through encouraging use of the jaw, tongue and mouth muscles.
AVAILABILITY: in ASDA, Dunelm, John Lewis, JoJoMamanBebe, Ocado, Sainsbury’s, all good independent baby retailers and pharmacies as well as online from Amazon and the Doidy Cup website www.doidycup.com RRP from: £3.80

Doidy Bowl is designed to help develop motor skills, with a slanted high lip on one side to allow infants to scoop the food up and load more easily onto a spoon, making it perfect for finger foods, purees or soups.

Doidy Bowl’s design fits most highchairs and is recommended for babies of 6 months+ .
