Our fun and stylish tips for navigating new parenthood.
The Uniform
Staying at home with baby means cozy, comfortable loungewear. But slouchy pants and roomy sweaters needn’t sacrifice style for comfort. Bamford’s classic cashmere pique pants (£650) are effortlessly chic and you can lose yourself in their maroon and stone knitted slice (£995, bamford.co.uk). Haven’t got out of your pyjamas all day? Not to worry, we love Celtic Sheepskin Co’s Harris Tweed soft sole slippers (£49, celticandco.co.uk) and these Toscana Cobi Slippers (£75) for new mamas and papas.
Boxsets or Sleepless Nights and Midnight Feeds….
Modern Family
The award-laden mockumentary comedy comes in great bite-size 30-minute episodes.
Entourage
Trashy, fun and riotously entertaining, Entourage is the perfect escapism for exhausting nighttime feeds.
Nashville
This addictive musical drama is all divas and cowboy hats. Just be careful you don’t sing along and wake the baby.
Suits
Light-hearted legal drama set in New York combines sharp wit, a fine script and some dashing male leads.

Keep your new nest soft, warm and sweet-smelling with these classic home indulgences.

For new parents, sleep is the greatest indulgence. This bestselling and ingenious pillow spray contains Lavender, Vetivert and Wild Chamomile to help soothe you gently into that much-needed slumber.

Stay Alert
Full-time parenting requires mamas and papas to be alive and kicking. And when sleep is scarce, coffee is your new best friend. We love Nespresso’s Krups Inissia coffee machine – making that caffeine fix simple and efficient.

The Guide
This is Ridiculous, This is Amazing by Jason Good. The author’s witty and knowing book of ‘parenthood in 71 lists’ is the perfect companion, from ‘Games you can play lying down’ to ‘safe places to eat cookies.’
