Baby’s first layette: What do you really need when you become a parent?
Bed? Dummy? Bathtub? Pram? Nappies? When a new member joins the family, the thoughts of the expectant parents revolve around one question: What do we have to do so we are ready for the little miracle and have a good start as a family? Parents expecting their first offspring are often overwhelmed by the flood of information coming their way. Also, large acquisitions are synonymous with lots of money, which is why we want to help dial down the “useless” stuff to a minimum.
For this reason, our expert and midwife Katrin from our German team wrote down what you need for a seamless start with your baby, and where you can scrimp. In today's experts'

Ten Ways to Better, Safer Sleep
Safe sleep is something all parents think about, and something parents many experience anxiety about. Whether your child is sleeping in your room, co-sleeping, or sleeping in their own room, the aim is always to reduce the risk of SIDS by putting them down to sleep in a safe environment. And knowing they are as safe as can be will hopefully mean you can sleep better too!
Here are some safe sleep tips :
1. Always place baby on their back to sleep, with their feet close to the end of their cot, crib or moses basket (“feet to foot”).
2. The ideal room temperature is between 16-20°C.
3. Cot bumpers, bulky bedding and soft toys should be removed, as these can be a suffocation hazard.
4. Keep your baby away from smoke throughout your pregnancy

In today's expert tip, she describes everything parents need to know about the development of their baby during pregnancy and especially in the period immediately after birth.

Babywearing at Home
Babywearing isn’t just for long walks across muddy fields or navigating public transport when you can’t face lugging a buggy around (although those are both great reasons to babywear!), there’s a hundred reasons why babywearing at home is the best thing, and we thought we’d share a few…
Get things done!
It sounds pretty simple and it is. Even the most independent baby can be clingy sometimes but babywearing lets you get on with your life hands-free whether that’s giving some love and attention to another child, finally getting that cup of tea made and… wait for it… drunk whilst still hot, or just making your way through that ever-growing pile of washing. And pro tip: as your baby gets older try using the back carry or hip carry position if your carrier supports it to give you even more range of movement and freedom.

The Secrets of Successful Sleep
As a new parent, we know it can be extremely daunting bringing your baby home and familiarising yourself with the day to day needs of a newborn. Learning to identify the difference between ‘change my nappy’ crying and ‘I need food’ crying, mastering the one-hand wipe opening and perfecting the art of creeping silently from a room when you finally get your little one snoozing – but it doesn’t have to be this difficult!
Sleep coaching is a methodical and personal way to nurture your baby into a routine which works for you, identifying a specific time for settling down each night and teaching you just how easy bedtime can be.
Many people have different approaches to bedtime, whilst some leave their babies to cry and others tend to their every stir, sleep coaching will teach you a healthy balance of both so you can identify exactly what your
