Skip Hop Duo Double Deluxe, the only changing bag designed for a side-by-side stroller. It has 16 pockets enough to fit everything you need for two or more children. It can be carried by tote straps or messenger straps.

The Deluxe Edition includes the new Shuttle Clips; a unique strap and fastening system that allows the Duo Double to attach neatly and conveniently to the handlebars of a double stroller. When attached to the stroller, you can leave the shoulder strap attached or remove it for a cleaner look.

Before discovering Skip Hop changing bags i have brought about three other for storing my baby changing things in. I even considered buying a Kipling baby changing bag on qvc for over £80. To me the bags never were big enough and didn’t have enough compartments in.

When i did find a big enough bag it turned out to be too big and never fit over my pushchair handle bars, meaning i’d have to fit it into the shopping basket under the pushchair but that made it difficult to get things out which baby needed.

Then i discovered Skip Hop bags, i loved how they made straps that would clip onto the pushchair handle bars, so the bag would be right in front of you ready for use. I found the bag to hang high up so it wasn’t in babies way or in my way, it was just right. I don’t own a side-by-side pushchair and it does state on the package that the duo double is to be used on a side-by-side pushchair but i have found it fits perfectly on my single pushchair.

Skip Hop do many styles and shapes of bags, the reason why i brought the double is so in the future when i have another child i can carry two sets of everything, clothes, snacks, food drinks and still have enough room for my own things. It even has a separate zipped up compartment for private things like purse, keys, listick, and phone.

I tend to really pack everything into mine, i am the sort of person who thinks what if this happens then i’ll need this and that, so i always bring things i think i will need. So i need a big bag for that and the duo deluxe bag does the trick.

I know after buying this bag i won’t be looking for another bag because this bag is all i need, its big enough for everything and clips perfectly onto my pushchair.

Nuby Super Flip-it

Buy It Here

  • 9+ Months | 14oz/420ml
  • No-spill
  • Hygenic flip-it cover
  • Soft sillicone straw
  • When your child is ready to move onto drinking from a straw, the Nuby super flip-it is perfect to start with. The straw is made from soft sillicone so it wont hurt babies gums, it’s non-spill so great for travelling and has a hygenic cover for when not in use. It’s so easy to clean too and you can purchase replacement straws.

    These straw beakers are really great, my child couldn’t lift bottles or beakers up to drink so i decided to buy a beaker with a straw attachment, he loved it straight away, and it was so easy for him to hold. i don’t think i could go back to normal beakers.

    The first straw beaker i got was the tomme tippee one and that was great but everytime it got dropped the straw would come out of place so i’d have to unscrew the top and stick the straw back on but that never happens with Nuby.

    After spending lots of money on tommee tippee beakers and cups i’m going to stick to the Nuby Super flip-it.

    • Bepanthen is an ointment containing pro-vitamin B5. Pro-Vitamin B5 gently aids natural skin recovery, while keeping it soft smooth and moisturised.
    • Bepanthen forms a long lasting, breathable transparent layer, protecting even the most delicate skin from the causes nappy rash.
    • Bepanthen does not contain perfumes, antiseptics or preservatives and is clinically proven to protect from the causes of nappy rash.
    • Bepanthen is available in 30g, 50g and 100g packs.

    My son had nappy rash at the age of 2 months, i tried everything on the market for nappy rash. The health visitor said to leave the nappy off for half and hour but that never helped, and washing the area made it worse. I really didn’t know what to do. Sudocrem formed a barrier over the rash, so it protected but never healed the rash.

    Metanium Nappy Rash Ointment got rid of the rash but left behind a yellowy paste on the skin which to my friends would look like baby milk poo. Then one of my friends told me about Bepanthen, so i brought some to try.

    It worked on the rash straight away, and it left behind a clear barrier on the skin to prevent further rashes from happening. I also liked the texture, it was creamy and very easily absorbed onto skin and the smell was nice too not like sudocrem, i couldn’t stand the smell of it.

    One of the best buys i could buy for my baby. I now use Bepanthen everytime i change my sons nappy and all my friends are using Bepanthen too.

    Buy It Here

    • The baby BeabaCook is a 4-in-1 steam cooker, blender, food warmer and defroster.

    It will steam all types of fruit and veg, meats and fish in under 15 minutes. There is a steamer basket to put the fruit, veg or meat into, you then measure out the required amount of water to  put into the top of the cooker.

    Turn the switch onto steam, the cooker will automatically switch off when the water has run out, you then take off lid use the spatula they give you to help turn the steamer basket upside down, pouring all contents into the blender. Put lid back on, turn switch to blend. It then purees and blends the to the right constistency for your baby.

    It’s very good to use when baby is ready for weaning. You can make small portions or large portions at one time and freeze them ready for babys meals. Making your own home made baby food is simple and easy with the Baby Cook. Your baby meals will be fresh and free from preservatives. It’s also very easy to clean.

    You can even use the Baby Cook to steam vegtables not just for your baby but for your whole family too. As the BabyCook is so small you can leave it lying out ready for use. Now theres no need to take out pots and pans to steam and blend your baby meals, just use the Beaba Baby Cook.

    It also comes with a small recipes book with a few recipes for purees.

    I love the Beaba Baby Cook, have been using it for over 9 months now. First decided to buy one when baby was ready for weaning.

    As a first time mother i didn’t know anything about weaning or making purees. I didn’t want to be a mother who gave her child shop brought baby food so i researched online on how i could start making my own purees.

    I did find many products online but only few did steam and blend. Then i found the Beaba baby cook, it was quite expensive for a little kitchen appliance but i thought if i didn’t like ir or get much use out of it i could sell it on ebay. When i got it home i used it straight away, i cleaned every part of it ready for steaming. I started with sweet potato. I peeled and chopped the pieces up really small then put it into the steaming basket. 15 mins later it was all done, all i had to do was tip the contents into the blender, i was amazed at how quick it turned into a puree.

    Baby loved the sweet potato and the texture straight away, so from then on i knew i’d get alot of use out of it. Definetly a good buy because even now my child is 14 months and i use it to steam vegtables for his meals and sometimes for my meals.
