Help With Baby Bathing

Even the most talented multi-tasking mum needs extra hands when it comes to bathing baby, which is why we like the look of the new Cooscoose® bath apron from Coochi (see main picture opposite). Working as a large hooded towel, the apron fastens on the neck and back, allowing you to scoop your baby from the water easily and wrap her up, keeping you dry and your hands free. From £19.99 or £35 for a twin pack.

See www.coochicoo.com for more details.
