Flexi-Brush by Cheeky Chompers
Nursery brand Cheeky Chompers has created a toothbrush for babies. The Flexi-Brush has a soft brush and different textures on the handle, so little ones can gently massage their gums and get to grips with brushing their teeth on their own. There are two in each pack (one blue and one sage green) and both are made from silicone so they can be popped into the dishwasher or steriliser.

The Little Silk
Silk is kinder to your skin than cotton as the material glides across the body and doesn’t absorb any skincare or hair care products, leaving it feeling softer and more moisturised. The Little Silk makes silk pillowcases, cot sheets and hair scrunchies to help little ones drift off to sleep, and prevent knotty hair and baby bald spots. Ideal for children with sensitive skin, each one is made from 100% mulberry silk that’s breathable, hypoallergenic and antibacterial.
