Feeling stressed? Tired? Frazzled, but a bit wired off too much coffee? Sounds like you’ve got a newborn in the house – which means you need as much help as possible, whether that’s from friends and family or from the convenience of buying from Amazon.

Making sure your house is complete with upgraded and quality household appliances is key for a smoother life once your newborn arrives – whether it’s your first baby, or a sibling to older children. When you’re running off caffeine fumes and very little quality sleep, buying products from a reputable brand that will help you with delivery and installation options makes a big difference.

Amazon is the ideal shopping venue for quality goods that also give you great options for delivery and getting your new items installed. Need your old appliances taken away? Sorted. Need someone to plumb in your new dishwasher? No worries. Amazon’s got you covered.

No need to panic when your new washing machine arrives and you realise you have no idea how to connect it – with Amazon purchases, you’ll find a variety of options to help you with installation. And if you’re a Prime member, there’s even more flexibility about when your items can be delivered.

Amazon can take the stress out of big purchases such as fridge-freezers, dishwashers, and washing machines. We know that life with a newborn is stressful; and here at Mother&Baby we’re always trying to find solutions to make your life with a baby a little easier. With that in mind, we’ve narrowed down some of the most important purchases you’ll might be considering now your bundle of joy has arrived.

You might not realise quite how much laundry you’ll be doing once your new baby arrives; and if this is a sibling to older children, then get ready for daily loads of washing. That’s why it’s vital your washing machine is up to the challenge.

If you’re looking for a new washing machine, this Hisense model features 15 washing programmes including a 15-minute short wash for light loads – ideal for quickly laundering those 500 muslins you got through this morning.

Ordering this washing machine from Amazon gives you various options for installation, including unpacking, installing, uninstalling your old model, and taking your old one away too. They all come at additional cost, with the most comprehensive offer (installing new model, plus deinstalling and removing old model) costs just £30.

This washing machine measures 54 x 59.5 x 85cm; it weighs 59kg.

If you’ve just had a new baby, the last thing you want to be doing is the washing up; save time and energy with a new dishwasher. This Hisense model is big enough for 13 place settings – that’s about 143 items. Plenty of room for a day’s-worth for a medium-sized family.

There’s a range of different washing programmes, including a short 30-minute clean for smaller, lightly soiled crockery and dishes. The drying setting means you won’t need to dry items once the cycle finishes; ideal when you’re washing your baby’s bottles (do check they’re dishwasher-safe first, though).

There are various options for delivery and installation to give you even fewer things to worry about. For an additional cost, Amazon can arrange unpacking and installation of your new dishwasher, plus deinstallation and collection of your old one; get everything for just £30, or choose different options for less cost.

A big fridge-freezer is a must once your family expands. Whether you’re filling the freezer up with batch-cooked meals (a brilliant idea for those newborn days when it’s easier to have a constant diet of toast than anything nutritious) or stocking the fridge with snacks to keep you going, this American-style fridge-freezer will cope with everything. It has a capacity of 427 litres, with a salad crisper to keep your veg tasty, and enough room for about 23 bags of shopping.

For an extra charge, you can choose to have your new fridge-freezer unpacked and installed, and your old one taken away. There are options from £5 to £50 extra – that’s not much of a fee for reducing your stress levels and just enjoying your new appliance.

This fridge-freezer measures 64.3 x 79.4 x 181.6cm; it weighs 89kg.
