Win a 4 Pack of Babycup First Cups
In the ever-changing world of parenting, new innovations come to the market all the time. Some of them become lifesavers, others not as useful as you would like them to be. It can be hard these days to know what to buy for the best when you have a little one or whether buying into the new and latest product is literally just throwing your money away!
What did you buy as a new parent that you didn’t end up using? Me, it was a nappy bin. I hardly ever used it and it was just a waste of money in the end. On the flip side, a small clip-on foam fan which I used during the summer was amazing for keeping baby Olivia cool in her pram when we were out and about. As they get older you need less ‘stuff’ for them and when they get to teenage years, the best advice I can give you is to buy all the wine! Just kidding, but paracetamol works a treat from all the eye-rolling as you try hard to bite your tongue and not take the bait!

Babycup First Cups.
“Award-winning, mini open cups, perfectly-proportioned for little hands and mouths. Recommended by dentists, orthodontists and health visitors. For babies and young children for weaning and beyond. Also suitable for cup-feeding infants.”
Experts recommend sipping drinks as it is better for baby teeth when weaning. Only standard cups and beakers are too big for small baby hands to grasp and keep hold of. Babycup first cups are suitable for ages 4 months and up and is perfect for little fingers to hold onto as they learn to take their first sips out of a cup.

If you are at the weaning stage with your little one and would like to give Babycup First Cups a try, you can purchase them direct via the Babycup website £13.98 for two packs (currently on offer for £11.99) or from 90 stockists around the UK (details on the website).

Yes I did, I bought lots of bottles and half of them I didn’t need and also far too many baby grows! Babies grow so fast that you really don’t need to buy lots of clothes.

I think we all buy things we don’t need for a new baby, esp our first – I bought loads tiny baby things, and he came out at 8lb11, so they were just a little small for him lol!!!
I don’t remember actually buying anything that we didn’t use, but we did get given stuff that was practically new – i.e. baby sling, door bouncer, and we hardly used them either!
We got so many newborn clothes we could have dressed about 10 babies!! We got very carried away lol x
We are just becoming first time parents so its great reading all this info!
For my back. I’ve suffered from the age of 14 with a bad back. So sore, every day.
