What to buy summer babies
Airy sleepsuits to keep them comfy at night, the first comforter they’ll cling onto with their little fists, tiny rompers for adventures in the sunshine. These are the presents new parents will appreciate during the warmer months.
Getting a hot and fussy baby to sleep can be challenging. Breathable cotton sleepsuits will keep them cool and comfortable as they snooze.
Sleeping bags are great light layers to tuck little ones into during summer – and year-round – with room for them to wriggle.
Anything that gathers clutter is a welcome addition to nurseries, and the ears on this basket add to the "awww" factor.
Knitted rompers are cool enough for the heat of the day and easy to make cosier with a cardigan, jumper and booties.
For their first dips in the tub – or even splashing in the sea on holiday – our hooded towels are big enough that babies won’t grow out of them for ages.
A practicality and a keepsake in one, open-knitted cotton blankets are a good choice for summer as they still allow air to circulate.
