The early weeks are overwhelming — even when they’re wonderful. We wrote this because we wished we’d had it ourselves. 117 pages of practical tips, recipes, timely reminders and honest advice, walking you through every single week of your baby’s first year.
What you get
Not an instruction manual. Not a judgement. Just real, practical knowledge from two experienced mums - including timely reminders for vaccinations, health visitor appointments, and all the baby admin that sneaks up on you. The companion they wish they'd had from day one.
A full spread for every week - Monday to Sunday, notes, reminders, and useful lists so nothing slips through.
From newborn essentials and vaccinations through teething, weaning, and childcare - guidance that arrives exactly when you need it.
Healthy pancakes, egg muffins, banana bread, pinwheels and more - all suitable from 6 months, all quick enough for real life.
Hospital Bag Basics · Nursery Basics · Baby Essentials · Baby Bag Essentials · Weaning Items & Food Prep · Carry On (Travel Packing)
Three full pages on travelling abroad with a baby - what to pack, what to expect, and how to actually enjoy it.
Gift ideas, party secrets, and a whole chapter on making that first birthday special and stress-free.
The hardcopy edition
Not another candle. Not another keepsake that ends up in a drawer. The hardcopy planner is something a new parent will actually use — open on the kitchen counter, lying perfectly flat thanks to the spiral binding, week after week for an entire year. Beautifully printed in full colour on quality paper, and unlike anything else you'll find to give.
🎁 Looking for a unique gift for an expectant parent?
The hardcopy planner is a genuinely useful, beautifully made gift they'll treasure through their entire first year.
Order the Hardcopy - £29.9952 chapters
The planner walks you through your entire first year, week by week. Early chapters cover the newborn essentials - sleeping, feeding, startle reflex, swaddling, registering your baby, and those first health visitor appointments. As the weeks go on it moves through teething, vaccinations, getting out and about, socialising, and thinking about childcare.
The middle section covers weaning in depth - when to start, what to buy, how to batch cook, and recipes to try. Later chapters tackle bigger milestones: baby-proofing, day trips, restaurants, travelling abroad, and planning that all-important first birthday.
Every chapter arrives at the right moment - so the advice about weaning lands just as you're starting to think about it, and the travel guide appears when a holiday feels like a real possibility again.
At the back of the planner you'll find two bonus reference sections packed with genuinely useful information.

Handy Things We Learnt
The hard-won knowledge Gina and Carla wish someone had handed them. This section includes a sleeping bag tog chart so you always dress your baby at the right temperature, a night feeding location guide covering lighting, positioning, bottle prep, and breastfeeding, a breast milk storage table with timings for room temperature, fridge, and freezer, and a gagging vs choking reference guide - one of those things you hope you never need but will be very glad to have.
What parents are saying
"The best baby shower gift I've ever given"
I bought the hardcopy for my sister who was expecting her first. She messaged me the day it arrived to say how beautiful it was - and she's been using it every single week since the baby came. The reminders for vaccinations and appointments have been genuinely lifesaving. I wish I'd had this when I had mine!

"I don't know how I'd have coped without it"
As a first-time mum I was completely overwhelmed in those early weeks. Having this planner sitting on the kitchen table meant I always knew what was coming up - the vaccination reminders especially. It's written in such a warm, non-judgmental way. It felt like getting advice from a friend rather than a medical pamphlet. Worth every penny.

"Brilliant - and so nicely put together"
My partner and I used the digital version and just printed the pages we needed each week. The weaning section was a game-changer - the recipes are quick and actually work! But honestly the whole thing just made us feel more prepared and less anxious. It covers everything from the practical stuff to the emotional side of being a new parent. Highly recommend.
