Temperature check

Keep an eye on the temperature with this sweet and very practical digital room and bath thermometer from AVENT. It is ideal because babies can't control their own temperature and are very sensitive to hot water. It also doubles as a safe bath toy.

Love Goddess gemstone breastfeeding bracelet

This delicate bracelet with smoky quartz gemstone and a brushed silver heart will add a hint of glamour to any everyday outfit.

But it's not without its practical uses. Slip it from one wrist to another to remind you which breast you last fed from. The smoky quartz gem is said to promote energy and uplift the mood.
