This was such a lifesaver when my son was little, and I still use it now. It doubles as a light to have on at night while you’re feeding and plays white noise. WIN, WIN!

This tells you the room’s temperature, plays lullabies to soothe your baby and even tracks your baby’s sleep (if that’s your thing!). But the best bit is that it’s all controlled by an app on your phone, and even if you have baby brain, it’s still very easy to set up.

It cooks, bakes, and reheats and it also has a dehydrate function, which I can’t wait to try. I love that you can cook two different meals simultaneously too. So great for picky eaters. And of course, it uses less energy, which is another bonus we will need this year. The only downside is that it’s big, so will take up a lot of space, but I’m willing to deal with that.

Meet the best vacuum cleaner ever! It is so satisfying to use. Not only does it bend so you can get under hard-to-reach areas, like beneath a sofa. But it also has a light which shows how grubby the floor is, so you pick up all the bits you might typically miss. I often do the hoovering with the lights off, so it’s even more effective.

I want to get these for my girls for Christmas. And as I’m buying two, I definitely want to pick them up in the sales. They’re a great way to introduce entertainment into your home that doesn’t involve a screen. I like that they tell stories too, as either child can listen to them in their room while I sort the other one out.

My Dyson fan was my absolute go-to for keeping my babies’ rooms at the right temperature in the summer. It feels like an odd purchase to think about right now, but you won’t regret it. I even know someone that lugged theirs into the hospital to keep them cool on a ward after birth – boujee but apparently essential.

I couldn’t live without this! It’s like an Alexa but has a screen and I use it to video call my parents. It’s great for entertaining the kids as it plays on-demand shows and music through Netflix, YouTube, Spotify and more. And we have it linked up to our baby cameras and our Nest thermometer, so I can literally control the whole house through one little screen.
