From that pregnancy test that first said you were expecting to early morning trips to stock up on nappies, Boots is like our best friend who’ve always got our back. As well as all those essential toiletries to get you through bath time and beyond, Boots now stock pushchairs, car seats, cribs and toys – they really are a one stop shop for parents!

If you're not already, it’s also a brilliant idea to join the Boots Parenting Club to enjoy all their exclusive offers and benefits. All you need to do is get yourself a Boots Advantage card if you don’t already have one and log into your account (or head to the app) to sign up to the Parenting Club. As a member, you’ll earn 8 points for every £1 spent on parenting products, free gifts at key stages of your baby's development, expert parenting advice, exclusive Parenting Club offers via the Boots app plus a selected Aveeno product when you sign up.

They also hold regular baby events for advantage card holders where you can save A LOT on certain brands and products so don’t miss out.
