The months leading up to your birth are exciting as heck, but can also be a little nerve-wracking and somewhat overwhelming too. Before you know it, you’re reading up on all the baby ‘must haves’ and your friends and relatives are giving their opinions on the products that you simply “can’t live without!” all while you’re nodding and smiling and thinking “we still have so much to organise!” Yes, having a baby does mean you’re going to need a few things, but we want to remind you that the most important thing a baby needs is love.And we know you’re going to have that covered. The other things, while important, don’t have to make you feel stressed and overwhelmed - especially when you have Wee Love Baby Boutique here to help you get everything you need in one space, with your Wee Love Baby registry. 

So get yourself a cup of whatever-you’re-into-these-days, sit back and make sure our checklist checks out with you.

These are some of our best sellers and favourite baby products that customers just like you have loved. 

A diaper caddy helps you to store nappies, wipes, bum cream and all the things you’ll need constantly throughout the day. You can keep your diaper caddy in your car, in the living room or wherever you may need it. It’s easy to pick up and move around the house, making nappy changes easy wherever you are. 

You may have heard about the craze of “baby wearing”. It’s when you wear your little one in a carrier or a baby wrap that is safely secured around your body. There’s a reason that this is a craze, it really works wonders for the baby. Baby is close to your heart, is safe and secure and feels cosy being wrapped up, while it gives mom or dad the chance to have their hands free while the baby is safely tucked in. Material wraps are easy to use and comfortable for both baby and mom/dad to wear. 

Many new parents have enjoyed our multifunctional covers that can be used to safely cover a carseat, or to give privacy to a breastfeeding mom. Some parents even use them as a hygienic covering over trolleys when shopping with their older babies. 

It’s likely that at around five or six months your little one will start drooling and putting absolutely everything in their mouth. To avoid your baby eating your books and socks, you can get your little one a handy teether that will really help stimulate and soothe his/her gums.  

We don’t want to scare you or anything, but we feel like you need to be fairly warned. Babies need a lot of soothing, and while a gentle hug, some rocking back and forth and singing sweet songs can do the job, so can a soother. Parents have found that introducing a soother to their children has helped to alleviate the pressure on them to be the only soother for their children. Soothers offer comfort to children and can help with being a healthy sleep association too. 

Children love to have a cosy friend, a little cuddle buddy to snuggle into, in other words a cute little plushie. Plushies are a great way to add to the nursery decor too. 

You might have heard parents rave about the Nurture One Nesting Cushion, that’s because it is a cushion that is designed to be an ideal sensory environment for your new, full term baby. Many parents have found the Nurture One cushion to provide comfort and ease of settling within their sweet little newborn. 

Any parent will tell you that muslins are a must-have. A muslin is a lightweight, loosely woven cotton blanket that allows for temperature regulation and breathability. Muslins can double up as a swaddle, as a soft landing to change baby’s nappy or to play, to wipe up spills, as a burp cloth, to cover the pram or as a feeding cover. 

Now that your little one is arriving you’re going to be changing a lot of nappies, and you’re going to be needing wet wipes to do the job. The Funkybox is a wipe holder that helps preserve the moisture of the wipes while adding a chic look to your changing table, the kitchen space to wipe up sticky hands and faces, in the bathroom for potty training or anywhere in the home or car. The Funkybox is a stylish and practical way to store your wet wipes. 

Talking about nappy changing and wipes, the next item on our list is a comfortable and safe change mat where you can conveniently change your little one’s nappies and clothes. When choosing a change mat, make sure to look for an easy-to-wipe mat that is comfortable for the baby and safe to use. 

As you may know, leaving the house with a baby takes a little more prep than the days where you used to grab your keys and go. You’re going to need a practical and beautiful diaper bag to help store all your baby essentials when you’re heading out and about. Make sure to choose a diaper bag that is practical in size, comfortable to wear and that has the capacity to store all your needs for your little one’s outing. 

There is no better time to invest in a playmat than right now. You’ll find yourself using it from birth past toddlerhood, as a comfortable place to rest the baby, play games, change nappies and let the baby learn how to sit without the possibility of hurting herself. Playmats are a great addition to the nursery and because they’re portable, you can move it to the living room, garden, kitchen or wherever you need to be.
