Swaddling your little one can help them sleep more comfortably. If you swaddle, you should always use a lightweight, breathable wrap. Make sure that the wrap is not too tight, and make sure that your baby's arms and legs are not restricted. Swaddling helps to reduce the startle reflex which can wake your baby up and cause them to become distressed. It also helps to keep your baby's arms and legs close to their body, which helps to regulate their temperature and keep them feeling warm and secure.
Recommendations for bedding and sleep spaces can change when research is conducted and when new products are introduced to the market. Because of this it is always good to keep up to date with the latest recommendations as well as why those recommendations are made so that you can assess a product yourself. Here is a little bit of information on what to look out for when choosing bedding for your nursery.
Wrapping your baby is one of those things that looks easy but seems like making origami when you actually try for the first time. Rest assured that it doesn’t take long to learn to wrap your baby like a pro! The Designer Bums team LOVE swaddles (have you seen the range of Designer Bums Luxury Swaddles with our exclusive designs?) so we wanted to put together some information on why we swaddle, how we swaddle, and some of our creative uses for swaddles so that you can upcycle yours once your little one no longer needs it.
No matter what your age, sleep is important for your mental health, mood, energy levels, and decision making. As parents ourselves we have a lot of experience with the challenges of getting our little ones to sleep and facilitating a full night's rest.
Setting up your nursery for the first time can be an exciting experience. Some of us leave it until the last possible minute to do it as part of our ‘nesting’ and others get onto it early so that they can take the time to curate their little ones' room. No matter which type of parent-to-be you are, Designer Bums have you covered with our guide on some of the things to keep in mind as you set up your nursery. There are also some great guides available from professional bodies such as Red Nose Australia which we have listed at the end of our post.
World Sleep Day 2022 focuses on “Quality Sleep, Sound Mind, Happy World” and this really resonates with the team at DB HQ. No matter what your age, sleep is important for your mental health, mood, energy levels, and decision making. As parents ourselves we have a lot of experience with the challenges of getting our little ones to sleep and facilitating a full night of rest.
Something they want, Something they need, Something to wear, Something to read!

Love these change mats! They are easy to clean and throw into the nappy bags. Bubs loves using it whilst out and about. Has never complained about the surface of the change table once the mats on it. Easy to wipe clean any small spills or wees and any dirtier stains (no 2s) easily came out by throwing it in the washing machine. Also used as a mat to lie on when there's not enough space for a bigger play mat but some padding is required. Highly recommend

Insects Wet Bag Kathryn
Perfect with many uses
Love all the wet bags from designer bums. Find they have many uses. My bubs is still under 6 months but I find these good to use as a small tote bag, to transport wet swimming gear and I use one as my gym bag for the towel and deodorant. Perfect size for use as a smaller secure tote bag thats got the added bonus of being water proof. Also used as a laundry bag whilst away travelling for the many dirty clothes that accumulate.
Love the design! Super cute. first time using reusable nappies and my bubs doesn't complain about these. Once I watched the fitting videos haven't had any issues with leakage and they're super easy to clean. Find they're very soft on bubs skin and easy to use.

Insects Play Mat Large Kathryn
Amazing!
Love this play mat! Use it in our lounge room as a play mat for bubs. Easy to clean and move around as needed. Have used in the backyard as a picnic blanket too. Very generous in size and can easily comfortably fit adults and bubs on it. Highly recommend
