If you buy any of these items, please come back to this list and click the "Reserve" link to mark which item(s) you purchased. This will help ensure that Rachel & Aodán & Babaí does not get duplicate gifts.
Note: Hand-Me-Downs and Second-Hand gifts are very welcome!
We're keen to minimise how much extra stuff we need to generate to look after our little one, and have been having a great time sourcing items from places like Facebook Marketplace! Unless otherwise stated, we are very happy to be gifted pre-loved items!
Alison Lester Plate Set
One of our favourite illustrators! I think it's also in Myer or direct from Robert Gordon or Alison Lester's websites.

Waterproof playmat
The link is just an example - I think a smaller one would probably be fine, and a playmat would be a good candidate for being second hand!
Rainbow Stacker Toy
Wooden preferred :)

Ring Stacker Toy
Wooden preferred :)
Clothing
We have been very lucky to receive lots of gorgeous pink clothes! If you would like to gift clothing to the baby, we would love some different colours to add a bit of variety, now! :)
Glass Bottle Set
Singular bottles are also great! Dr Brown's bottles are really well-designed to avoid colic and have the teat get to the right position in baby's mouth.

Digital Bath Thermometer
This duck one is just an example, but it is pretty cute!
Silicone self-feeder
Great for chewing practice and exploring new flavours and textures! New only, please :)

Baby Tetra Bite Teether
Another good teether with various textures to explore. New only please :)
Baby Grabber Teether
There are textured and non-textured versions of this teether from The Therapy Store. Either would be great! New only please :)
Baby Guitar Teether
Another great teether from Ark to promote oral motor skills.
Cactus Teether
This teether is great because it has long sections that let bub practice chewing right back along her gum ridges! New only, please :)
Milly + Coup Colour Pack
A pack to fancy-up our pram. Green or blue would be lovely!
Lenny Lamb Woven Wrap
This wrap has no stretch, so it provides better support as baby gets bigger. Size 6 seems about right for us! Marketplace is a great place to source pre-loved carrier wraps :)

Newborn Nappy Inserts
We have a stash of Alcmena newborn nappies, but more inserts is always good to allow for more changes between washing loads!
Cloth Nappy starter kit (size M)
This kit is great, but you may be able to find similar pre-loved stashes on Facebook Marketplace! We are interested in this style of nappy (cover plus cloth prefolds)
Cotton prefold nappy liners - all sizes!
For use with cloth nappies, but also great for all sorts of uses.
