Doesn’t it feel like just yesterday when new parents were busy doing the rounds to see extended family members, fending off visits (successfully or unsuccessfully) from others, running on next to no sleep?
While the pandemic might mean these visits and outings are no longer, looking after babies hasn’t gotten any easier. Between feeding, cries and nappy changes, we still need all the support we can get.
And with Christmas approaching (yes, we are inching closer to 2021, thank goodness), you have the opportunity to give the new parents in your life one less thing to worry about… or if you are the new parents, add these baby subscription services to your Christmas wish list!
Piccolo baby food
Have you ever filled your shopping cart (virtual or real) with an array of baby food products to try, then spent ages researching the infant nutrition ins and outs, assessing and reassessing your choices trying to figure out if you’ve chosen the best meals?
Fellow parents at Piccolo know this all too well and have come to our rescue with the launch of their subscription box. As experts in infant nutrition, they assemble food boxes based on your little one’s age, dietary requirements and your eating goals for them (read: help with the broccoli battle). Plus, they’ll keep track of your growing baby’s nutritional needs so you don’t have to – the box will evolve as baby grows older and it’ll be delivered as often as you want. That’s one less thing on your plate (so to speak).
Prices start at £25 a month. To check them out, click here.
