If you’re expecting or have just had a little one and are on the hunt for all the key essentials you’re going to need, you’re in luck as Kate Ferdinand has just let us in on her must-have parenting products. Kate, who is a mum to two small children as well as a stepmum to Rio Ferdinand ’s three kids, seems to be a pro on what exactly you need and what you don’t. One of the first things Kate mentioned during her discussion with SheerLuxe was her love for the parenting brand, Tommee Tippee and more specifically their Perfect Prep Machine, £95.
99 here . Kate claimed she was ‘obsessed’ with this formula prepper labelling the product as a ‘game-changer’ if you’ve got a baby on the way. If you’re wondering exactly what this machine does, it essentially produces a fresh formula bottle at room temperature in under two minutes, which is ten times faster than a kettle.
And when you’re a new mum, every minute saved is important. If, like Kate, your children struggle to sleep in a pram or hotel because they are used to sleeping in dark rooms at home, enter the SnoozeShade pram cover, currently £20 here . This UV-protected pram shade is essential for blocking any light and distractions and allowing your baby to get some restful sleep when you’re out and about.
Alongside the pram cover, Kate also raved about Tommee Tipee’s portable blackout blinds, £19.89 here, that you can fold up in your suitcase when travelling and stick over the windows to block any light.
