12 Items You Inevitably Swap Once You Have A Baby



Your car
You’ve had that little run-around since you turned 21, but anything with two doors just doesn’t work when you’re trying to fit a car seat or track down those stray Hula Hoops in the back. People carrier, anyone?


The yoghurt
Double-duty dairy is the key here. Why buy one yoghurt for you and another for your baby? Time for some loved-by-everyone Petit Filou. It just makes sense.


Your biggest earrings
Sure, they’re beautiful. The type Beyonce would wear and you know will get a thousand compliments. But you also know nobody will love them more than your curious baby… who will pull at them like a mini romper-suited magpie.


Loads of skincare
Introducing the ultimate multi-purpose product that works for you as well as your baby: Sudocrem. Great for everything from dry skin to spots.


Your favourite phone numbers
That section on your phone looks slightly different these days. Basically, Dominos has been replaced with a breastfeeding support line.


The wallet
Forget that tiny purse – making space for your credit card is one thing, but what about the coupons you’re suddenly obsessed with collecting? And all that loose change you need to park outside the health visitor’s clinic? Time to dig out that wallet with umpteen compartments. Plus, it’s wipe-able.
