We have spent the day walking around the Excel arena in London for this weekends Baby Show, and we had an absolutely fantastic day!
Some of our favourite baby experts Jo Tantum and Clare Byam-Cook (amongst others) are guest speakers for the weekend. They have some great tips for new mums, and are also available to answer questions afterwards.
Aside from the speakers, the stalls are well laid out and there are plenty of things to look at, and plenty of bargains to be had - Medela have an amazing £50 off of their swing pump! as well as discounts on their other products.
We looked at lots of products today, but we fell in love with Oysterbaby Bamboo slings - midwife designed and chiropractor endorsed, easy to wrap and easy to wear, we can't wait to try it out! And, on the subject of trying something new, we are also going to be trying out the Love to Swaddle Up this month. We couldn't resist trying their swaddle, which is actually more of a sleep sack that still gives babies the cozy feeling of a swaddle. Full reviews to follow...
I think it would be fair to say, that on initial inspection, the baby show appears to be much smaller, and have less stalls than we would have expected. However, it took us the full day to get around all of the stalls (and enter all of the competitions 😉 ) whilst fitting in the speakers we were interested in hearing.
We thoroughly enjoyed our day and can't wait for September, when the Baby show will be back in Earls Court.
