The lovely Holly has returned and we thought what better way to welcome her back to our screens than by showing her some baby related gadgets that might make her life a little easier with little Belle.
So from blacking out your baby's buggy to all-in-one baby cutlery, Steve Wilson is here going through some of the latest baby gadgets on the market.
BUGGY TIME
Snoozeshade - Snoozeshade.com - From £19.99
Do you get tired of pegging muslins or draping blankets over your pram to help baby sleep? Or find the sun and bright light prevents your baby from nodding off? Well the SnoozeShade Original, the UK's first universal blackout blind for prams and strollers, can help. It has a universal fitting.
Hamsterbags - kiddicare.com, £29.99
Two clever bags that attach to both sides of your baby buggy. They keep your buggy steady so your baby is safer. They give you extra storage space for baby and personal essentials and shopping. Designed by a mum for mums... and dads!
Hands Free Brolly - handsfreebrolly.co.uk - £ 18.49
In this climate many a yummy mummy on the school run has ended up looking rather less yummy after yet another downpour and a difficult juggling act with pram, bags and umbrella! Thankfully an innovative new weather solution has arrived… The Hands Free Brolly. The product attaches to the pram using a universal clamp, specially designed to fit even the chunkiest of pram frames and keeps mummy or daddy dry when out walking in the rain with the pram.
BATH TIME
Puj Bath Tub - Firebox.com - £39.99
Rather than buying a bulky baby bath, why not convert your sink into the softest, most supportive tub there is? The Puj Bath Tub lets you do just that. Simply fold this super soft mat into your sink and as you lower your baby in, it will cradle and support them.
Not only will this make them feel safe and cosy but thanks to the non-slip material it means you can use both hands to clean them. Plus it gives them a chance to play in the water while you get their towel ready (which is the best bit about having a bath).
Cuddledry Towels - Amazon.co.uk - £24.99
We all know that bath time is fun, but splish-splashing babies and toddlers need all the help they can get when it comes to getting dry. So thank goodness for the Cuddledry range of towels. As seen on Dragons' Den (the Dragons' enthusiastic but rather greedy offer was politely declined) these award-winning towels make drying little ones easy, safe and fun. And as any parent knows, that's easier said than done.
DUMMY TIME
Pipila Soother Sterilizer for Dummies - rosebudbaby.co.uk - £19.99
Introducing the world's FIRST portable U.V. soother steriliser! Simply pop your soother in, press the chamber to activate, when the lamp is activated close the lid. The lamp switches off in 3 minutes and the soother is ready to use! Perfect to use on holidays, when camping, at grandparents', or even just keep it in your changing bag for when you and baby are out of the house.
Billy Bob Teeth Dummie - Billybobteeth.co.uk - £6 each
For a more unconventional dummy, the Billy Bob Dummy costs just £6 from Billy Bob Teeth and will give your friends a cheap laugh.
FEEDING TIME
Yoomi Self Warming Bottle, 150ml - John Lewis - £22.50
Yoomi is a bottle and warmer in one - a revolutionary concept in baby bottles. At the touch of a button, the warmer (which is rechargeable up to 100 times) gently warms cold feed to the natural temperature of breast milk, in just 60 seconds.
Wean Machine - Firebox.com - £19.99
Make your baby's transition from baby food to solid food that little bit easier with the Wean Machine. Like a giant garlic press, this simple device will squeeze any soft foods into an easy-to-eat consistency. And there's no need to decant the smooshed food into a bowl either. Just use the supplied spoon to serve it straight from the Wean Machine! And when you're finished, just pop the cap back on and the whole thing can be easily stored back in a bag or coat pocket. No mess, no fuss!
Boon Squirt Spoon - boonuk.co.uk - £8.99
The Squirt baby food dispensing spoon allows for convenient feeding, one bite at a time. The easy-to-fill bulb holds up to 85 grams of baby food and attaches firmly to the spoon end.
Simply squeeze the bulb to dispense just the right amount of food. Squirt comes with a protective cover to seal food in and keep the spoon clean between feedings. By combining the spoon and food container into one product, Squirt makes one-handed feeding so easy.
Baby Monitor App - £1.79
The very clever people at the Tappy Tapps factory have created an app that ensures you will never miss the moment your baby wakes up, with a unique monitoring system that boasts no range limit. The moment your phone registers a noise in your nursery the app will call you on any pre-selected number.
This is intended as an aid and by no means substitutes real care. Cheaper than a normal baby monitor, the only potential faults are the fact that you will have to keep your phone on all evening- which could require the use of a charger and means surrendering your mobile at bed-time
