Feel more ready for what comes next

I kept opening tabs and then closing them because everything felt like too much. I started with the Pregnancy collection, picked the side-sleeping pillow, and that was honestly the first useful decision I made that week.

It arrived just before bedtime and I put it straight on the bed. The pillow gave my belly and back somewhere to settle instead of me turning over every few minutes. My husband noticed I was still asleep in the morning, which says enough.

Three weeks in and I use the pillow for feeding too, not just sleep. I move it from the bed to the sofa most mornings. The extra little pillow seemed unnecessary at first but I reach for it every day now.

I bought it for a weekend away and ended up leaving it in the changing bag. First change was in a café bathroom, then on the back seat, and it folded back down without a fight. Much less awkward than trying to use a towel.

Delivery took a few extra days and I was impatient because I wanted the belt for a walk. The M fits me at 109 × 9 cm and once I adjusted the wrap it stayed put under leggings. I do wish the fastening felt quicker, but I have kept wearing it.

At first I only used the bottle warmer for the late feed. A few months later it is part of the whole evening: bottle, bath, sleep sack, done. Having two bottles warm at once is especially handy when the day has already been long.
