getting ready for your little one
Getting ready for your first baby can feel like a big adventure. Here’s a calm, practical guide to the essentials you’ll need in the first six months — made to bring comfort, ease, and confidence to everyday life.
1. the cosy basics
Our Done by Deer swaddles are truly your all-round helpers — light, breathable, and endlessly useful. Use them to wrap your baby for sleep, as shade for pram naps, or simply for those gentle cuddle moments. Made from soft organic OEKO-TEK certified cotton, they’re designed to comfort your little one and fit beautifully into your daily rhythm.
Burp cloths are another must-have, and you can never have too many. Our Done by Deer muslin cloths are soft, absorbent, and wash beautifully, ready for countless feeds and nuzzles. They’re the kind of small essential that makes everyday care a little easier.
2. changing made simple
You’ll spend many moments at the changing station, so make it a space that feels good. Pair a soft changing mat with your favourite cream for cosy, easy changes and keep plenty of burp cloths stocked nearby.
When you head out, our quilted changing bag keeps everything organised - with room for nappies, snacks, and little extras. Designed to last, it stays stylish long after the nappy days are over.
3. play and discovery
As your baby begins to explore, our activity toys and tummy time pillows support movement and curiosity. Soft textures, gentle sounds, and calm colours invite play while building strength and confidence - one small stretch at a time.
4. rest and reassurance
Every baby needs a peaceful place to rest. Our cosy nests create a safe, snug space for naps and quiet time - whether at home or on the go. Add a blanket and a familiar cuddle friend for moments of warmth, peace, and closeness.
