Motherhood is the pinnacle of confusion. While you’re overwhelmed with a love like nothing you’ve ever felt before, you’re also overwhelmed with a tiredness that you hope to never feel again. And while the sight of your baby’s perfect face is enough to bring your to tears, the blood curdling screams coming from their room at 3am can make you vow to never have another. 

On top of that, in and amongst the chaos that is early motherhood, there is also the fact that there isn’t a single piece of new mother information that isn’t disputed in some way. Everything you read online has a counter argument — whether your researching which car seat is best or which settling technique will work for you or even something as simple as which nappies to buy. You can’t escape it. Whichever way you look at motherhood, someone, somewhere, will look at it differently — but that’s the beauty of it. 

To take the guess work out of the parts we can control (in this instance, hygiene), we decided to collate a roundup of all the best baby beauty products. Whether you’re after a relaxing bath milk, a dreamy room spray or a soothing moisturiser to keep your baby’s skin baby soft, we have it all right here.

Affectionately described as a “cuddle in a bottle”, this gentle body oil works to both soothe and moisturise the skin whilst helping to build up the skin’s natural barrier to environmental aggressors. Perfect for prolonging that baby soft skin.
