Becoming a parent is one of life’s biggest blessings - but it also comes with a lot of questions. What do you actually need? What’s worth the investment? Enter: John Lewis’ New Parent Starter Kit, a game-changing bundle that’s here to make the early days of parenthood a little easier. The best part? It’s free for John Lewis members when you spend £180 on baby essentials. Considering the cost of baby gear, that’s a pretty sweet deal – especially since the kit is packed with practical, thoughtful items you’ll actually use.
Inside, you’ll find clever solutions for you and your baby. The award-winning Vital Baby Breast-Like Bottle offers a seamless transition between breast and bottle feeding, while the BIBS Colour Soothers mimic the natural shape of a mother’s nipple to soothe fussy newborns. For those first on-the-go moments, the Mini First Aid Plaster Pouch ensures you’re prepared for inevitable little accidents. And it’s not just about the baby – goodies like L’Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream and Frida Mom Disposable Underwear are designed to keep new parents comfortable, too. From development-boosting toys like the Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes Musical Toy to a subscription for postnatal fitness via the Carifit App, this kit is thoughtfully curated to support every aspect of those early weeks.
