Spring is just starting to Spring, which only means one thing: it's baby season.
And with an influx of new babies comes the mad-dash shop for gorgeous, good quality buys - whether you're an expectant or new mother looking to deck out the nursery or on the hunt for the perfect gift for a newborn for your loved ones, The White Company has everything you need for a new arrival.
If you're looking to steer clear of babygrows (how on earth do you work out what size a 10lb newborn is?) and tech gifts (they've probably been bought 10 different white noise machines at this point) then a great idea is something special for babies bedroom.
We know getting everything prepared for a new arrival can be overwhelming, and thankfully The White Company's Baby Checklist has everything you need to round up all the essentials - from bathing to bedtime:
The best things to buy a new baby from The White Company
Bedtime: As baby learns to stand and explore, you’ll be glad of The White Company's cot’s three adjustable height settings, which helps keep them safely where you left them. Plus, all of their children’s bed linen comes in a cot size to match.
Toys: Don’t forget something to keep your little one entertained and stimulated, a cuddly companion for when you’re on the move and a super-soft comforter, complete with one of The White Company's lovable characters, for naptime.
Bath & Changing: When it comes to bath time, wrap your bundle of joy in a soft-on-the-skin pure-cotton baby towels straight from the tub and it will soon be the most enjoyable part of their nightly routine. For changing, The White Company's baby changing top and star-scattered mat are perfect for all nurseries.
Wardrobe: We know how tempting it is to purchase every adorable outfit you see, but we recommend stocking up on the basics first, so you’ve got those multiple-changes-a-day covered. Think plenty of bodysuits and sleepsuits, a few rompers and some cosy accessories.
