REVIEW: Cuddledry Apron Towel – Bath Time Essential!

I’ve always found it quite tricky and awkward, albeit inevitable, to bath James on my own. My husband works in the day, so I’ve had to make do with it. One of the hardest parts for me (before James discovered that trying to stand up in the slippery bath is so much fun!) is to get baby out of the bath whilst balancing a towel against my body to make sure I don’t get soaked and that James gets nice and dry quickly. So when the lovely people at Cuddledry got in touch with me and asked if I would like to review their innovative apron-style Baby Bath Towel, I thought, ‘perfect timing!’.

The Cuddledry Baby Bath Towel, is an apron-like towel that clips around your neck, leaving both your hands free to get your baby out of the bath. Ingenious! There’s nothing more to it – it’s as simple as that, but it has helped me out during bath time tremendously!

The towel itself is beautiful, big and super soft, made out of pure unbleached cotton and natural bamboo fibre. I’ve seen soft towels in my day, but this one is almost like a hug – it’s so cosy and most importantly, very absorbent. The corner hood makes it easy to get it over baby’s head whilst wrapping them warm around the towel. I went for the baby blue and white colour, but there are lots of other colours to choose from, some fun prints for babies and dress-up towels for toddlers.

I’ve had the Cuddledry Apron Towel for about 4 months now and it has become an essential item during bath-time for me. Most of the time, I bath James on my own, so if you, like me, wishes you had a third hand during bath-time, I highly recommend this apron towel – it gives you one less thing to worry about! Its convenience comes with a price tag, which may not be justifiable to everyone, but it is a little luxury that has made my life easier, and I would gladly gift this to my pregnant friends and new mums.

Having both your hands free during bath-time is even more important during the newborn stage, as babies are still very floppy and not sturdy, which combined with being wet makes them incredibly slippery, so I would say that not having to worry about balancing the towel and holding the baby safely at the same time, is rather nice.

    Hi Ysis, this post is very useful. I am now doing a research for a baby towel and I found this one. I cannot find so many reviews about it … are you still using it with James at this stage? Would you tell me the measures?
    I am thinking to buy a few of those but I am not sure yet … Thank you! xx

Not the pregnancy announcement I had in mind, but… we’re expecting baby number 3! ❤️🙏🏻 I’m 11 weeks pregnant today and this is probably the most fitting photo to describe my first trimester so far: hyperemesis gravidarum.

I was going to wait until I was feeling better, until I had a bump to show, until I could put some makeup on… but who knows when that will be? I’ve lost over 15lbs, been admitted to hospital twice on IV fluids for dehydration, spent my birthday (and weeks on end!) in bed and have been put on so many meds I’ve lost count.

Today, as I was leaving the hospital on new meds and after a bag of fluids - feeling like a human being for the first time in over a month - I decided that writing this post, although cathartic for me, may be just what another HG sufferer needs to read to make them feel a little bit less alone.

This is not the beautiful “surprise” pregnancy announcement we’re used to seeing, but for the 1-3% of women who suffer with HG, it may be the only one you can manage.

So, this is where I’ve been hiding. Baby is doing well, mama not so well. But I’m hanging in there and taking one day at a time!

Baby is due September 2021! ❤️

Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited childre Snow day!! ☃️ We have two very excited children and a puppy, ready some snow fun today! Might as well make the most of it, because this is probably all we’re going to get. Oh I do love snow! 😍❄️
“Anxiety is also feeling like you have no contro “Anxiety is also feeling like you have no control over your life and there’s a knot if your stomach. You feel like your world is crashing down around you and you’re expected to sit there and act like you’re fine.”

Yesterday was a right old day - I wasn’t myself. I needed silence to reset... but didn’t get it. So I carried on not sounding like myself, being curt, snappy, sometimes a bit hurtful.

Do you know when you just can’t snap out of it? You take a deep breath and promise you will react differently to a stressful situation, but a minute later you catch yourself spilling over before you even realise the pan was boiling.

I took some time to reflect in the evening and exposed everything that was causing me frustration, stress, anxiety and worry.  Guess what the common denominator was?

A feeling of not being in control.

I’ve always needed some sort of order and control to feel like myself and right now we’re positivity not in control of anything really, are we?

I’m glad I can recognise the triggers for my anxiety and today I made sure I established some form of control first thing in the morning to give my day the best chance to be a good one.

So I cleaned the house, I made sure the puppy had plenty of naps, I scheduled 1-2-1 time with both kids and that made me feel so much better.

I know I only tackled the consequences, not the causes of my anxiety and my need to feel in control, but that was enough for me today.

There’s - always - more work to be done, but accepting the small wins is part of it.

How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind How are you all feeling? Really, how’s your mind right now? It’s so important to check in with ourselves instead of ignoring how we feel and burying our heads in housework, jobs, kids and life admin.

💫 What do I need?

That’s a good way to start. I’ll list a few things I need right now. They don’t all have to be grand things, sometimes I only need the smallest things.

1. I need to wash my hair.
2. I need silence.
3. I need to rearrange some rooms in the house (don’t know why I need this, but I really do).
4. I need to zero my inbox.
5. I need uninterrupted sleep.
6. I need a good hearty meal.
7. I need to exercise.
8. I need to smile.
9. I need to see my mum.
10. I need to put my needs first.

If I were to pick just one need right this second, I’d say number 2. I’m normally really sensitive to loud noises, but today... dear me! Even a slightly louder whisper was annoying me! 🙈
I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jeal I mean... I can barely see him but I’m well jealous of this cosy situation! 😍 Oh Benji boy, you’re bringing us so much joy already! 🐶🤎
