OCT 12|4 min read
Find everything you need to create a cosy space for you and your baby.
Welcoming a little one into the world can be daunting for any new parent. There are so many things to learn and discover – and sleep can seem like a faraway dream! We’ve taken one thing off your plate by putting together this guide, of all the essential items you need to set up a cosy space for your littlest one to enjoy.
1. Invest in a quality cot
You and your little one need all the quality sleep you can get. Set them up for a peaceful night with a quality cot like the Arden Natural Cot. Crafted from solid ash with a rattan design, the cot will suit any nursery styling, and is a sturdy and practical choice for your baby. The base can be adjusted to two different heights, to suit your growing child.
2. Opt for gentle, breathable & hypoallergenic fabric
Vintage Washed Linen is a great choice of bedlinen for your baby, with its lightweight, breathable feeling and soft feel. Made from French flax linen, these bedsheets and quilt covers will regulate your baby’s body temperature and keep them cool during the night. Linen is hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial, perfect for your little one’s delicate skin.

3. Make them snug and secure
Keep your little one feeling snug and secure with a soft swaddle. An essential for new parents, swaddles will wrap your baby in a sense of safety and serenity, so they can sleep peacefully. Our swaddles are made from the softest cotton muslin blend, to bundle them up and keep their temperature regulated all night.
4. Create a quiet corner for nursing
Creating a quiet nursing corner where you can sit and bond with your baby will have a world of benefits for both of you. Choose a rocking chair that is both comfortable and beautiful. Our Arden Rocking Chair provides support and comfort and will make a stylish statement in the corner of your nursery. The ash rattan in creamy white will complement any style – and there's a matching footstool to rest your tired feet.
5. Choose a soft and supportive nursing pillow
However you choose to feed your baby, a nursing pillow can make you more comfortable. These specially designed pillows can be wrapped around your waist to support your child, or you can use them to rest your arm and wrist while you cradle your baby. You can even loop the pillow around your shoulders for some neck support. Our nursing pillows are made with removable covers crafted from Vintage Washed Linen, with a zip closure for easy care.

Perfect for tummy time, our play mats are made from French flax linen with a quilted design, and can even be used as a coverlet as they get older.
7. Choose cuddly friends safe for a baby
Capture their imagination with a collection of toys. Soft comforters and plush toys are perfect for the littlest ones, allowing them to play with furry friends and fun characters without any harmful pieces or rough edges.
