BabyBjorn Baby Carrier Mini, Dove BlueRRP £79.99
Newborn babies love to be close to their parents and when you carry your baby they feel the warmth of your body and hear you breathe and talk which provides them with safety and reassurance.

The Baby Carrier Mini is a small, easy-to-use baby carrier that has been designed for short and frequent baby wearing sessions. Its soft fabrics gently hug your baby’s back, legs and hips and provide good support. Through the fabric, mum and dad can check the baby’s position and the natural C curve of the baby’s back with their hands. Also available in Pearly Pink.

When the buttons on your coat are about to burst and your bump is playing peekaboo, look no further than the Zip Us In Jacket Expander Panel.
