Online and in the shops: Innosense

New bottle:

Mothercare’s new feeding range, Innosense has been launched nationwide this month. Designed around the premise of “feeding from a new angle”, the Innosense bottle (€11.99 for a pack of two 5oz bottles) has an off-centred teat to make it easier to keep it full of milk while barely tilting the bottle. The idea is a natural and relaxed feeding angle that helps reduce wind. The Innosense Ultimate Starter Set includes bottles, steriliser and a bottle/food warmer. This set is normally €189.99 but will be €94.99 until Sunday, Feb 24, in stores and on www.mothercare.ie

Buggy bags:

Hamster Buggy Bags are a pair of bags that attach neatly to the sides of buggies using strong hooks. The bags can then be unclipped and used as a rucksack, so parents can take all baby’s belongings with them when they no longer need the buggy. Lara Milanova, a mother of two, designed the bags as a solution to the problem of buggies tipping backwards when loaded up and to offer parents extra space for shopping and baby essentials. They cost €29 + €4.65pp a pair from www.hamsterbags.co.uk
