The Baby Products I’m Loving Second Time Around
The newborn bubble with your second is different. In some ways easier, in others, more challenging. Here are the products I’m loving the second time around.
Lollipop Baby Monitor
$229Easily keep an eye on your baby and even soothe them with your voice or some white noise with the Lollipop baby monitor. What’s even better if you can add two or more cameras to the one app account making it perfect for a growing family.
Bugaboo Donkey
$2399I changed over my pram when we found out we were expecting to a double, the Bugaboo Donkey2. I love the versatility. Whether it’s our newborn in his capsule, the bassinet or the two side by side, there’s plenty of room for everyone and everything.
Nokia Thermo
$179An easy to use infrared thermometer that comes with matching app. Makes tracking your baby’s temp and medicine intake simple and fuss-free.
Stayzon
$4.50A non-alcohol based anti-bacterial is a must to keep your hands clean and ready for newborn cuddles without drying them out.
Owlet Smart Sock
$400Your second is going to get sicker, quicker. Unlike your first, you can’t keep them in that pristine bubble as easily so being able to monitor their o2 and heart rate as they recover from their first bout of sickness gives so much peace of mind!
The Nappy Society Insert
$99Turn any tote into the perfect nappy bag with this insertable organiser. With enough space and pockets for nappies, bottles, blankets and clothe changes you’ll have everything you need at hand.
Jurlique Baby's Calming Massage Oil
$39Gorgeously soothing and hydrating, Jurlique’s botanical-based massage oil is great for baby’s skin from their first bath onwards.

Nuna PIPA Capsule
$599I’m using the same capsule again, the Nuna PIPA. There’s a newer isofix version out now but its a fantastic capsule. Easy to clean, super comfortable and fits any MaxiCosi adapters for prams etc.
Kippins Comforter
$33.95Adored by my first, I’ve got two for my second already. A breathable, safe comforter that you can wear close to gain your scent they’re your baby’s new best friend.

MioPlay Teething Toy & Strap
$19.95When you’re on to number two you have even less spare hands so keeping your newbie’s teether close, safe and clean is a must. The MioPlay teethers are fun, safe and convenient.
