What's In My Nappy Caddy!
Feeding
All things for feeding in the first year (and in some cases beyond the first year)
These are the current bottles we use and love. We also use the plastic version

Wearable breast pumps are so handy to have. Makes pumping so much more comfortable with the ability to carry on with life while pumping.

Reusable food pouches are one of the best inventions. They carry on into childhood for lunchboxes and give you the ability to make food fresh and use for yoghurt when older
On the Go Reusable Food Pouches - Animal Set 150ml 10PK
I prefer to use glass over plastic as much as possible and where safe to do so as dishwashers typically discolour plastic. These are a perfect alternative to plastic!
Great for little ones to learn to chew without choking!
Haakaa Baby Fresh Food & Fruit Feeder (Blush)
All in 1 kit. Great for baby shower gifts, but also great to start out with and have ancouple bottles as back up incase breast feeding doesn't go smoothly

Skin
All things for babies skin. Rash prevention and wipes!
This barrier cream is awesome with a pump top so you don't need to continually keep dipping tools or fingers in cream each time! This is also refillable
B.Box Body Protect Nappy + Barrier Cream Airless Jar 100ml
The relatively new B.Box baby body range caught my eye as all the products are refillable from pouches instead of continuously purchasing bottles!
B.Box Body Soothe Mineral Bath Soak 350ml
As with the other B.Box products on this list, refill pouches are available. Super environmentally friendly
B.Box Body Cleanse Hair + Body Wash 350ml
This body lotion is super gentle on the skin. Also refillable from a pouch
B.Box Body Hydrate All Over Body Lotion 350ml
Be careful as oil can make a baby super slippy dippy. It's great to add a few drops into a bath for an extra moisture boost, and is also refillable from a pouch.
B.Box Body Nourish Body Oil 150ml
I've loved using these wipes for Freya. Thick enough to not have 💩 soak through, but thin enough to get in all the nooks and crannies
