Why We Recommend Pre-Walkers for Your Little Bub

Posted on February 2, 2024February 19, 2025 by Embroidery 1

Whether you’re a seasoned parent or a newbie in the world of parenthood, deciding if babies should wear pre-walkers and if first-walker shoes are necessary can be a little bit confusing. So, let us lift the veil of confusion and break it all down for you.

What Are Pre-Walkers?

First things first, let’s clear up the confusion around what pre-walkers are. Pre-walkers, also called baby shoes or soft-sole shoes, are specially designed footwear for babies gearing up for those first steps. They are incredibly lightweight and flexible, ensuring your baby’s tiny feet are comfortable and supported as they explore the world around them.

Should Babies Wear Pre-Walkers?

Absolutely! Pre-walkers serve several crucial purposes for our little ones. First, they provide an extra layer of protection, keeping those tiny feet safe from sharp objects, cold surfaces, and potential hazards. Second, they offer some much-needed grip, making it easier for your baby to maintain balance as they take those tentative steps. It’s like a safety net for their feet!

Are First Walker Shoes Necessary?

While babies can technically learn to walk barefoot, first-walkers play an essential role in their development. These shoes provide the support needed for proper foot development, ensuring that those little arches and bones grow correctly. Additionally, they can help prevent accidents and injuries as your baby starts to explore their newfound mobility.

What Are the Benefits of Pre-Walkers?

1. Enhanced Comfort

One of the standout benefits of pre-walkers is the comfort they offer. Pre-walker shoes are made from soft and breathable materials to be gentle on your baby’s delicate skin. They won’t cause any irritation or discomfort, allowing your little one to wear them for extended periods.

2. Improved Balance and Stability

Pre-walkers come to the rescue as your baby takes those wobbly first steps. They provide proper support and grip, helping your baby maintain balance and stability. When feet are well supported, chances of accidental falls and bumps diminish.

3, Protection on the Go

Pre-walkers become their trusty sidekick when your baby starts exploring the great outdoors. These shoes protect their feet from sharp objects, hot pavements, and cold surfaces. Plus, they keep those tiny toes cozy and warm in winter.

Baby’s First Christmas: Adorable Gift Ideas to Make the Memories Last

Posted on November 3, 2023February 19, 2025 by Annette D

The holiday season is upon us, and if you have a little bundle of joy experiencing their very first Christmas, you’re in for a treat. It’s a time for snuggles, twinkling lights, and the perfect gifts to make those precious memories. So, what do you get your baby for their first Christmas? Whether your munchkin is a few weeks or ten months old, let’s explore ideas that will melt your heart.

What to Keep in Mind When Choosing the Perfect Gift?

When you’re on the hunt for that ideal gift for your baby’s first Christmas, remember these parent-approved tips:

Safety first
Make sure the gift is baby-safe and age-appropriate, with no small parts that could be a choking hazard.

Durability matters
When babies and toddlers have a favourite plush toy or blanket, they can be rough with them. Choose items that can handle some love and attention (even after being washed a few hundred times!)

Sentimental value
Opt for gifts that hold sentimental value. Your baby will love them, creating a beautiful reminder of this special time.

What to Get for a First-Time Parent?

Consider the new parent’s style and preferences when shopping for someone else’s precious baby. Baby books, soothing white noise machines, or baby essentials baskets are usually well-received. Here at One Little Day, we have created a variety of personalised gift sets that are perfect for a first-time parent.

Personalised Baby Hamper

Personalised baby hampers are one of the best gift boxes for a baby’s first Christmas. They come filled with goodies that are both practical and sentimental. These hampers are curated with love, from adorable personalised baby rompers to cuddly soft toys. Plus, they make for a keepsake you’ll treasure long after the holiday season ends. Celebrate your baby’s first Christmas and create everlasting family memories with an adorable personalised gift like the Baby’s First Christmas Personalised Gift.

Our personalised baby hampers has everything your little one needs, including a Personalised Baby Blanket for every occasion, an organic muslin baby wrap that is ideal for Summer days, a hooded towel which will be used daily after bath, a pair of Personalised Baby Shoes to finish up the First Christmas Style photo and a sweet Puppy comforter, for sweet cuddles at night. Give the kind of gift that’ll be useful all year round.

Gender-Neutral Baby Gift Set

Gender-neutral baby gift sets are ideal for those who love neutral colours and a touch of elegance. These sets usually come with snuggly blankets, adorable stuffed animals, and tiny shoes in soft, neutral tones. They’re perfect if you keep your baby’s gender a surprise or simply prefer timeless, classic styles.

Check out this oh-so-charming personalised beige knitted baby gift set. It includes a cosy cotton beige knitted blanket, an adorable bear comforter, and tiny shoes that are all customisable.

Your baby’s first Christmas is pure magic. Choosing the right gift is a chance to create memories that will last a lifetime. Whether it’s a personalised baby hamper or a gender-neutral gift set, ensure it reflects the love and warmth of the holiday season. So, go ahead, cherish this milestone, and make it unforgettable with a thoughtful gift.

Essentials to keep your baby warm this Winter

Posted on May 10, 2023February 19, 2025 by Annette D

When your little one is, well, little, it can be challenging to make sure they’re warm enough during the winter months. A warm pram blanket does the trick when you’re out and about, but there are essentials worth considering. The trick is to add layers to wrap up your bundle of joy when the days are cooler. Here are some of our essentials for keeping your baby warm this winter.

A cute knitted cap

Babies can lose a lot of heat through their heads, so it’s important to keep them covered. A small knitted cap or beanie is a great way not only to keep them warm but also to add a bit of style. In Australia, wearing a hat also helps protect your baby against the sun. Look for hats with fleece lining and chin straps so they stay in place longer.

Built-in socks and mittens

It can be tricky to keep socks or mittens on a baby. One clever way to make sure their ten little toes stay warm is to use shirts, pants and onesies that have socks and mitts built-in. You can always add an extra pair of normal socks on top. This double layer of fabric won’t only keep their toes warmer for longer (layering is a great trick for keeping warm), but the socks don’t come off as easily.

A gorgeous knitted pram blanket

Some babies don’t like to wear too many layers of clothes and can be uncomfortable when wearing a thicker jumper. A great alternative is to swaddle them in a warm knitted blanket. That way, your baby stays warm whether they’re in your arms, in their bed or even in a pram enjoying a beautiful stroll on a sunny winter day.

A warm cotton diamond knitted blanket

Our diamond knitted blankets are the ideal essential for keeping babies warm in Winter. Made from 100% high quality cotton, our diamond knitted blankets are soft and gentle on the skin, as well as thick and durable. They are perfect for wrapping babies up in for snuggles or for ensuring cosiness and comfort in bassinette, cot, pram and car seat. The knitted baby blankets are available in three neutral colours, perfect for both baby boys and girls. Choose from our Personalised Cream Baby Blanket Diamond Knitted, Personalised Cream Baby Blanket Diamond Knitted and Personalised Brown Diamond Knitted Baby Blanket. As well as sweet and practical baby gift hampers containing the warm winter baby blankets.

A warm pram cover

Spending plenty of time outside is good not just for mum, but for bub too. Pram covers can ensure that your little one stays cosy while you go out for a walk or a run. You can also find pram covers with foot muffs that include a warm backing for your bub to stay cosy and a top cover lined in wool to keep in some extra warmth. As an extra bonus, a good pram cover will also shield your little one from the wind, rain or even snow.

A hooded towel for bath time

A warm bath is a great way not only to get ready to unwind for the night but to warm up after a cold day spent outdoors. The transition from bath to pyjamas can feel cold for babies. Try wrapping them up in a hooded dressing gown or a poncho towel before making the transition to pyjamas. Enjoy a warm cuddle with the loveliest of clean baby smells before it’s time to settle in for the night.

Remember using layers is the easiest way to keep your baby snug. Shop adorable and cosy hooded bath items and personalised knitted baby blankets on the One Little Day website.
