{"title":"Baby Care","description":"\u003cp\u003eBaby care covers the baby essentials that keep a baby safe, fed, clean and mobile through the early years. What you need depends on the stage: among newborn essentials, a newborn needs a bath, nursing support and a monitor; a crawling baby needs safety gates; an out-and-about family needs a stroller. Work through the daily routines — feeding, bathing, sleeping, going out, keeping safe — and choose baby care products that suit your baby's age and meets Australian safety standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat baby care gear do you need?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe essentials sort into a few groups:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/furniture-baby-kids-nursing\"\u003enursing chair\u003c\/a\u003e and support for comfortable feeds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBathing:\u003c\/strong\u003e a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bed-bath\"\u003ebaby bath\u003c\/a\u003e sized and shaped to hold a newborn safely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMonitoring:\u003c\/strong\u003e a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/baby-monitors\"\u003ebaby monitor\u003c\/a\u003e to hear or see baby while they sleep.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGetting out:\u003c\/strong\u003e a \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/baby-kids-stroller\"\u003estroller\u003c\/a\u003e suited to your baby's age and your lifestyle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/gates-playpens\"\u003egates and playpens\u003c\/a\u003e once baby is on the move.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat baby gear must meet a safety standard?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral baby products carry mandatory Australian safety standards, so it's worth knowing which. Cots, portable cots, prams and strollers, and baby bath aids all have mandatory standards covering their key risks. Strollers must have a working brake and a tether strap; portable cots have rules on stability and mesh. Buying gear that meets the relevant Australian standard is the safest choice, so check for it on these items in particular. For anything a baby sleeps in or is carried in, the standard matters most.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow do you choose baby gear that lasts?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBabies grow fast, so gear that adapts saves money. A convertible cot that becomes a toddler bed, a stroller that reclines for a newborn and sits up for a toddler, and an adjustable baby bath stand all stretch further than single-stage gear. Buy the safety-critical items new rather than second-hand where you can't verify the history, since a cot or stroller that's been damaged or recalled is a risk. Choose adaptable gear from the safety-critical categories new, and it lasts through the early years safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat baby gear is essential for a newborn?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA safe sleep space (cot or bassinet), a way to feed comfortably, a baby bath, and a monitor.
