1) The highchair that every mama will have! Great for travel (as the legs just pop out) – and the best part is just throw the whole thing in the shower and hose down for a super-deep clean. The top part (without the legs can also be used as a bath seat for sitting babies) ANTILOP £16
2) Over a weeks worth of soft cotton washcloths for £3 – need I say more? KRAMA £3 for 10
3) Ok, so this is a kitchen trolley but a recent browse on Pinterest shows what a great baby changing storage unit it makes. The easy roll casters and the fact it can slip into the smallest of spaces makes it a hit. Plus, what a gorgeous colour? RASKOG £50

4) Try walking through the children’s department and resisting this super soft and cuddly puppy GOSIG GOLDEN £7
5) Coveralls = toddler must have. These polyester bibs are great for mealtimes, painting and messy play and whats more they can be bunged in the wash and come out almost dry and ready to use again. KLADD PRICKAR £3.50 for pack of two.

6) It’s a bit unreal how many muslin clothes you can get through in a day – and these ones are massive. Perfect when out and about, as a make-shift towel or light swaddle. VANDRING £3 for pack of two
7) Not only is this cot chic and simple – its a snip at £60. With 2 height levels and the fact that one side can be removed to make into a toddler bed – means this is the cot of choice for mamas who want to ‘sidecar’ for co-sleeping. See how to at Ikea Hackers. GULLIVER £60 (also comes in white)
8) Basic tableware for weaning, baby-led weaning and self feeding – anti slip, easy grip and light on the purse. AMAGLI £5 for plate and bowl // BORJA £1.50 training beaker // BORJA £1.20 for two spoons
9) A baby gym that is less than a monthly membership fee. Sturdy, colourful and even a tired mama can assemble this one! LEKA £20
10) If there’s ever such a thing as must-have kids tent – then this is it! Also, the perfect show-stopping centre piece for a circus themed birthday party. CIRKUSTALT £17
We love ikea – it is our go to place! Plus the chips and hotdogs are a steal 😉
Ha ha … we may *stop* for hotdog too! Love Ikea especially for kids!
I love visiting ikea! We one of those space saving cots from there 8 years ago for about £30, it has survived our two youngest and three of my brother's children so it's good quality stuff even if it's cheap as chips!
