From dummies to pacifiers and even spare clothes, babies need a lot of gear. Seriously, taking your little one out of the house for even a few hours can sometimes feel like you need enough stuff for a weekend getaway.
Wrangling a newborn is hard enough without having to worry about forgetting a dummy, a bottle, or (god forbid) your cup of coffee. To help you combat baby brain we have rounded up our favourite products that we like to keep in our TNS Insert.
Thankyou Baby Wipes
Perfect for those inevitable spills and messes, these are an absolute must for any baby bag. Gentle, soothing and made with all natural ingredients, Thankyou Baby Wipes are perfect for babies with even the most sensitive skin.
Easily keep stickie hands and dirty faces clean with these thick, soft and hypoallergenic wipes. Not only are they fragrance-free and made using artesian water, but every packet sold also helps to achieve safe births and healthcare for mums and babies in need. So you can feel good as well as keeping your favourite top free from stains and sticky hand prints.
TNS Luxe Change Mat
Our TNS Luxe Change Mats are the perfect accessory for those 'on-the-go' nappy changes. Not only do they stash neatly into our inserts, but they are also crafted using our signature coated canvas for easy cleaning.
This luxurious design opens out into a large change mat featuring a pocket to hold nappies, wipes and creams. If your insert is already choc-a-block full, TNS Luxe Change Mat can be easily disguised as a fashionable clutch.
Thankyou Nappies
Keep your little one dry all day and night with Thankyou Baby's innovative and fall-proof nappies. We are never without of few these stashed in our Louis Vuitton tote.
Not only are they made using premium materials, but they are also enriched with soothing aloe vera and vitamin E to protect your baby from nappy rash. These nappies also come in a range of cute designs to keep your bubs looking and feeling fresh.
Bibs
This one may seem a little obvious, but in all the baby brain confusion, it can be easy to forget to pack the essentials, like a few bibs. Choosing the right bib for your bub isn't as simple as one would think — there a few things you should consider before you go filling up your bag.
We love a light-weight bib made with organic cotton so that it is nice and gentle on bubs skin, like Country Road's range of snap closure bibs. These are light enough to easily stash in your insert. They are also fashionable and easy to clean.
Pacifiers
Never, (and we mean ever) forget to stash at least one pacifier in your insert. Getting caught in the middle of an epic cry session without a dummy is every parent's nightmare.
Soothe your little one with the Clean Collective's Natural Rubber Soother. Made with no chemical softeners, this dummy is one of the safest and most hygienic on the market. Our TNS Pacifier bags can also store up to 4 pacifiers and fit neatly within your insert or can be clipped to the handle of your pram.
Jellycat Bunny
We all know the horror of forgetting bub's favourite stuffed animal, which is why we never leave the house without our Jellycat bunny.
Super soft and snuggly, your Jellycat bunny will keep bub entertained whilst you’re on the go or enjoying a catch up with your mama friends. They are also small and subtle enough to fit easily into your insert without taking up too much room.
Sophie The Giraffe Teether
There are so many reasons we love our Sophie The Giraffe Teether. One, she is downright adorable, two she fits nicely in our inserts.
This innovative teething toy is designed to stimulate your baby's senses awakening their sense of sight, touch, hearing, taste and smell. Sophie is so much more than just a teether, and she will be sure to become of our baby's most treasured playthings.
Spare Clothes
Even if you're just ducking down the road to grab a coffee, it's always worth throwing in some spare clothes, you never know when bubs might spit up all down their fresh onesie, incur a slight toilet disaster.
It is always best to be prepared with a few of your favourite numbers. Our fave baby brands include Huxbaby, Wilson + Frenchy and Pure Baby.
Muslin Wrap/Swaddle
Always have a swaddle on hand to keep your baby cosy. We love Aden and Anais' range of Muslin wraps and swaddles because they are as luxurious as they are versatile.
These swaddles can also be used for stroller covers, tummy time blankets, nursing covers, burp cloths and more. Their products are comfy, safe, affordable and made form the highest quality muslin cotton.
TNS Stroller Clips
Fussy bub but full hands? No worries, just clip on our TNS Stroller Clips and hang your tote on the handle of your stroller. Just like that, your hands are free for all the cuddles!
Our handy little stroller clips are also perfect for those spur of the moment shopping sprees. Simply hang your bags on the clips and be on your way.
Baby Bottles
Always keep a bottle or two on you for those on the go feeds. Our TNS Inserts make this an easy task coming complete with two inside pockets to stash spare bottles, (or a sneaky cup of coffee).
When it comes to bottles, we love Tommee Tippee's range. They are made using not nasty materials including BPA, phthalates and toxins. They are also specifically designed to make going from breast to bottle as smoothly as possible.
Mama Disrupt Magazine
What mama doesn't need a little bit of me time every now and again? Keep a copy of your favourite magazine or book to flip through while taking bubs to the park or out on a coffee date.
We love Mama Disrupt as it is the perfect combo of light reading and in-depth stories. From interviews with boss mamas to tips, tricks and recipes, it has everything any modern-day mum could need to know.
Aesop Hand Cream
Being a mum is tough work. From nappy changes to cuddles, your hands are always busy. Keep them feeling soft and refreshed throughout your even busiest days with Aesop's gorgeous hand cream.
Diary
As a busy mum, you probably can't live your life without your diary. Keep your fave planner tucked neatly and safely away in our inserts.
A good diary is one of the most important things you can own. We love Aspinal of London's range of fashionable and functional journals.
Hand Sanitiser
Motherhood is a messy job. Ensure you always have hand sanitiser at the ready for emergency cleanups, or even just to keep yourself feeling fresh and free from nasty germs.
We suggest Resurrection Rinse-Free Hand Wash by Aesop. This gentle formula is made using purifying and hydrating indigents. Its pocket-sized bottle slips conveniently into any of our inserts.
Snacks
Arguably the most important things in any bag are snacks. Stash a few healthy snacks in your insert to get you through the day.
We love to keep our energy up with a sneaky packet of nuts by Shelby's Healthy Hedonism.
