Some Of The Coolest Items For Bubs 0-2 Around Right Now

Getting ready to welcome a new baby home is so exciting….

and terrifying…..

When I bought my first baby home…. my first thought was ‘I can’t believe they just let me walk out of there with a baby… don’t they know I have no idea what I’m doing?’ I like to think that most Mums feel exactly the same way.

It is just lucky that we have nine or so months beforehand to not only prepare our minds for the new arrival – but our home too. Babies need so much stuff! So much cute, fluffy adorable stuff. And shopping for all that stuff is so much fun. Yes I’m a BigW girl – always have been. I was lucky that BigW had just come to Gympie when my first baby was due – so I got literally EVERYTHING there.

In fact I spent most of my lunch hours haunting the baby section. Not only did it help me find everything I needed, but there were all the big ticket items too (like car seats – must be Australian standard), cots and prams etc.

Here are some of the best items you should buy for your new bub – all available at BigW right now!

1. The Very Hungry Caterpillar Coveralls and Beanie Set

OMG how freaking adorable are these! They come in sizes 0000 – 1 and you can choose from a Romper Dress, coveralls, t-shirt and leggings and look the beanie!!!

2. Bonds Wondersuit

Both my boys lived in Wondersuits. They are so practical, fluffy, warm and now they come in loads more colours (in the olden days when my boys were young, there was only white, baby blue and baby pink!). Now there are florals, spots, stripes and all sorts of patterns.

The Sporty Zip Wondersuit is available in store at BigW.

3. Fisher-Price Woodlands Jumperoo

If you need to get anything done with a baby, you need one of these! Not only do they keep bub upright and entertained, it gives you free hands when hanging out the washing or cooking in the kitchen. They weren’t as fancy as this back when my boys were little!

Available in store only

4. Dymples Cotton Romper

When it is hot, your new little person will live in these little suits. The are such great value for money too.

(in store only) 0000-1

5. Anything from the Lamaze Range

This stuff is as cute as it gets. And Captain Calamari just takes the cake. His crinkle hat makes sound, and so do the clacking rings on his “tentacles”–each which feature soothing knots. Captain also has a rattle and a surprise mirror. Nawwwwww.

Captain Calamari is only in store at BigW .

6. Cosy time sleeper

I wish I had one of these when my kids were newborns. The Childcare Cosy Time Sleeper has both a bassinet and a bedside sleeper mode that lets your baby sleep next to you safely in those first few months.

At BigW (in store only)

7. Talking ABC Elmo

My boys got a “Sing with Elmo” toy when they were born, now I must admit that it drove me crazy for a while but Elmo became their best mate and to this day he still takes pride of place on the top shelf. Oh Elmo how can I stay mad at you?
