The ultimate luxury items for your baby

Room-temperature wipes not good enough for you? Babies practically beg to have their nappy changed when they know the wipes have been lovingly warmed to the optimal bottom-friendly temperature!

Cotton not good enough for you? Your baby will know you really care when you strap them into this Rolls Royce of bouncy chairs, but be warned - it's a slippery slope from here. Before you know it, your baby will insist on sheepskin coats, sheepskin blankets, sheepskin nappies...

Hand-me-down teddy bears not good enough for you? With its gentle heartbeat, this bear will ensure your baby feels reassured (or maybe terrified) that you're next to them. Put it under your partner's pillow and see if they're fooled too. Literally seconds of fun.

Big bath towels not good enough for you? Not enough energy to dry your baby properly? Just get them to put this on, wriggle around for a bit and bingo! Dry as a bone! Now all you need is a matching one in your size.

Smudgy hand print on a scrap of paper not good enough for you? Get your baby's entire foot or hand made into a cast which can then be painted bronze or gold. Not just an ornament, they also make good paper weights, back scrathers or hand extensions for when the remote control is just out of reach.

Old telephone directories under the cot legs not good enough for you? Replace them with these neat plastic cups. They raise the head end of the cot which may help ease breathing problems slightly when your baby gets a cold.

Ordinary light switches not good enough for you? To gently ease your child into the darkness, this light gradually dims over upto 15 minutes. It's a nice table lamp in its own right with adjustable brightness, but the appeal for dads is in the two cool touch-sensitive buttons. We bought one and I had to be dragged away from it on the first night.

Cold probe in the armpit not good enough for you? Find out when your baby's temperature reaches a certain level without leaving the comfort of your armchair. The sensor comes with a belt or can be clipped on to your baby's nappy. Alternatively, you could wait until they cry and then feel their forehead, but where's the fun in that?

Boring cutlery like mummy's & daddy's not good enough for you? Why, you need some Stay-put Cutlery. Too cool for adults to use, they stick to the table or your highchair so your parents can't steal them. Ooh, they'd be so jealous!

Having to share the toilet roll not good enough for you? Discerning babies insist on having their own and yours can too with this potty. Of course, having two toilet rolls could lead to twice as many arguments over who replaces them. You have been warned...
