Why Jet knows babies best

accreditation

Advertorial

There’s a certain time of the year, well actually twice a year, when Jet’s lovely marketing team is more about ‘peekaboo’ and less about ‘Vogue looks’. This can only mean one thing — Baby Fair.

During this time, no one can help but embrace their natural parental instincts, and it’s pretty easy with baby-related things here, there and everywhere. Spending time in an office filled with cuddly toys, cute baby outfits and all things baby makes everyone go all gaga about little ones.

Jet knows babies best; everybody knows that, right? We stand by this statement. Do you want to know why? Let’s look at the ABCs of why we know best, shall we?

A is for Affordable prices.

B is for Best value for money.

C is for Comfort to ensure your little one can move and explore.

Whether you’re a new parent or a parent of baby number two, three or four, a shopping trip to Jet guarantees value for money, especially when preparing for the arrival of a new member of the family.

 Need to know what to pack for your hospital bag? Here is our list of essentials for both mommy and baby:

  • Two or three sleepsuits Two or three vests
    A baby blanket – although the hospital may have one for your baby to use temporarily, you will need one when you leave.
  • Nappies – did you know your newborn will go through as many as 12 nappies in a day?
  • One pair of socks or booties
  • One outfit for the trip home (all-in-one stretchy outfits are easiest)
  • Baby car seat – hospitals will not let you leave without one.
At our Baby Fair, we’re celebrating your little one with amazing deals. With our trusted baby brands, we know what will be comfortable for your baby, as well as what will be friendly to your budget.

If you’re a new mom, you probably know that any tips are always welcome. With winter right on our doorstep, here are some of our favourite tips to keep your little one warm and happy this season. Feel free to share your tips with us as well.

Top Tips:

  • Lavender oil – a few drops in the bath ensures some peaceful sleep for both baby and mommy.
  • Use aqueous cream instead of soap to ensure your little bundle’s skin stays soft.
  • Baby has a rash? Do not stress – use zinc powder and a good nappy cream, and keep the area dry.
  • Remember to always sterilise baby bottles and teats. We definitely recommend a trusted steriliser or steamer.
  • Always put safety first; invest in a car seat that your baby can be comfortable in, whether you’re making a short trip to the grocery store or a long trip to the grandparents for a weekend.
  • Buy in bulk – you may have been warned about this, but you can never have enough nappies. Whenever you find a great deal on nappies, make sure you stock up for as long as you can. You’ll thank yourself later.
