NiWellbeing for Mum
Wellbeing for mum sponsored by
First time mums-to-be go through a whole range of emotions in the first few weeks of pregnancy, from excitement to anxiety. Where does the nursery retailer fit in? The nursery retailer is likely to be high on the early-visit list as the newly-pregnant mum wants to share her excitement and start checking out the prams and cots. But she will also be focusing on herself and her own health and wellbeing – and especially how she stays comfortable and gets her much-needed sleep.
What nursery products could possibly help a pregnant woman to sleep? There are now many pregnancy cushions available, but they don’t all offer the right support in the right places.

Many existing cushions can be cumbersome to take anywhere but the Harmony Duo wedges are hygienic, compact, portable and can be used long after baby arrives to help with mum’s posture and keeping the feet up. And baby can even lie on one to help with reflux after a feed.

The inside story is that Harmony Duo products use a combination of high grade super density foams fused together to give firm support and a hypoallergenic promise for both mum and baby.
