Having a baby changes your life in lots of unexpected ways, including your shopping habits. Yep, welcome to the world of baby clothes, toys and essential supplies for knackered parents.

But the thought of ordering from lots of different websites or actually going to the shops is the last thing you have the time (or energy) to do.

Step forward Ocado, your one-stop-shop with loads of quality brands like M&S. They'll even deliver to your home from a VERY parent-friendly 5.30am. 

Need sleepsuits for your little one and Percy Pigs for you? No problem. Run out of bubble bath and bread? All sorted. Simply pop what you need in your online basket and job done. 

We’ve rounded up some of the parent-friendly brands to bookmark that will keep your fridge stocked AND your baby entertained.

1. Cheeky Chompers

As a new parent, you’ve got lots of lovely baby stages to look forward to … and some that might be more, er, challenging. One of them is the teething stage which seems to arrive overnight and then last forever.

To help your baby with the discomfort of teething, check out the Cheeky Chompers range, stocked by Ocado. Set up by two mums in 2013, they created a bib that has a teether attached to it. You can say goodbye to the endless sterilising of dropped teething toys and your baby can get relief for their sore gums whenever they want. Genius.

2. Nimble

For someone so little, your baby creates a LOT of washing. So you want a gentle laundry product that’s kind to their skin but still cleans their clothes.

That’s why another brand to check out at Ocado is Nimble. Their Laundry Lover is a plant-based detergent made with just 13 ingredients (compared to some other detergents that can contain up to 30 different chemicals.) It’s non-bio and promises to zap all sorts of stubborn stains.

The range also includes fabric softener and cloth nappy detergent.

3. Charlie Bigham

Remember when you spent ages cooking up your favourite meals? With a new baby, you don’t have spare hands to chop, stir or – well – do anything really. Which is no good for your energy levels or your empty stomach.

That’s why Charlie Bigham ready meals are another brand to bookmark at Ocado. Choose from comfort foods like gooey lasagna or Friday night favourites like chicken tikka masala. 

There are veggie options including cauliflower macaroni cheese and you can get dishes for one or two people. All you need to do is pop them in the oven and eat. Yum.

4. M&S

Your newborn is growing by the day. So it’s no wonder you feel like you’re constantly shopping for bigger outfits for them.

The good news is, you can do your weekly food shop AND pick up baby clothes from one of your high street favourites. That’s because Ocado stocks M&S clothes, including a huge range of essentials and outfits for your little one. From sleepsuits to socks, check out their full range here.

You can also shop for all your fave M&S foods (yes, you can get Percy Pigs delivered to your door. Bliss.)

5. My Expert Midwife

If you’re breastfeeding or expressing, cracked or sore nipples are quite common. But there’s no need to send your partner out on a late-night pharmacy dash. Ocado stock products from My Expert Midwife, including their No Harm Nipple Balm. Made from 100% naturally derived ingredients, it’s safe to use from the moment your baby is born.

The range, designed by a former midwife and using natural ingredients, also includes a No Harm Bum Balm nappy cream for your little one.

6. Usborne books

It’s never too early to start reading to your baby. And while you can totally read aloud from your favourite magazine, you might also want to introduce them to some cute picture books.

Ocado stocks the ‘That’s Not My’ Usborne series of touchy-feely books that kids love, including ‘That’s Not My Puppy’.  

They’re lovely to read to your little one, and you can help them feel the different textures on each page.
