When I was first buying baby things for my first baby I was basically just fumbling around in the dark. I had no idea what I really needed and because I was the first of my friends to have a baby no one to really ask advice from either. And so began years of trial and error. Things that seemed like brilliant things when I first bought them turned out be a bit of a waste, and things I never purchased I could have desperately used.
I thought I would do everything differently with my second and was all on top of the extra things I needed to buy. Except for one thing. All babies are different and my second baby was not one for rocking to sleep which certainly cast our armchair purchase into a harsh light. On the upside, some of the things I bought for my first that she never used, my second took too like a duck to water.
Which is why awards, particularly awards based on the experiences of mothers go well beyond just a way of acknowledging companies who have outstanding products, it's also about giving guidance to those bumbling darkness wanderers as they attempt to navigate their pre-birth purchases.
