  From baby's very first bites to that very first bath: Jollein is there for all those special firsts with your little one. But there's one very special first that starts even before your baby arrives—during your pregnancy: creating a beautiful nursery! The nursery is where you’ll welcome your baby, care for them, and shower them with love. It’s also the place where your little one will drift off into sweet dreams. So, of course, you want to make this space as cozy and beautiful as possible!Maybe you’ve already started gathering inspiration, picked out a color palette, or even bought the first pieces of furniture. Once you have the basics in place, it’s time for the fun part: decorating with gorgeous accessories. From the softest bedding to a cuddly stuffed toy waiting patiently for baby’s arrival. From a cute changing pad cover to handy storage baskets. The Jollein collection is full of beautiful pieces you can endlessly mix and match. That way, you can create a unique look that perfectly suits your nursery. Stylist Elina is here to help you with some clever and creative styling tips! “What I love about the new Jollein collection is how calm and timeless the color palette is,” says Elina. “Shades like Olive Green, Wild Rose, and the neutral tones Nougat and Oatmeal work beautifully in any nursery. And because these colors come back in lots of different products throughout the collection, mixing and matching becomes super easy!” “You can really play around with this in the crib, since you're working in layers there. For example, pair the Twig fitted sheet with the gorgeous Grain Knit blanket in Oatmeal. The My Tiny Miracle top sheet is a subtle and sweet addition to this set—when you make the bed, you can fold the edge over the blanket to reveal the lovely message. Complete the crib styling with a beautiful canopy. My personal favorite colors for that are Olive Green and Nougat—they add a soft and stylish color accent to the space.”   Matching or Mixing? You Decide! “If you want to create a sense of calm in your nursery, it helps to make ‘links’ between different products. If you choose a knitted blanket, for example, you can find a matching changing pad cover and storage baskets in the same color at Jollein.” “Prefer a bit more boldness in the room? Go for a playful mix of colors or choose a standout print like Retro Flowers or Adventurous Animals. The sweet Dreamy Mouse print is also absolutely adorable—for baby boys and girls alike! And with the matching accessories, like the fun suitcase set, you can bring the print to life throughout the entire room.” Enjoy Every Step of Creating Your Dream Nursery Would you like even more inspiration and guidance? Elina walks you through every step of designing your dream nursery in our helpful Nursery Styling Guide.  With Jollein’s collection, you can turn your baby’s room into a dreamy haven for both you and your little one. The soft tones and charming prints create a soothing and stylish atmosphere. Whether you love a classic look with natural tones or prefer a playful vibe with pops of color—Jollein has the perfect accessories for every style. Discover the full collection and create a nursery you’ll fall in love with, day after day. Together with stylist Elina, you’re all set to make it magic.

Oeh spannend! Jouw kleintje is er eindelijk en nu komt het moment van het eerste badje eraan. Thank goodness dat de kraamhulp er nog is, want hoe moet je anders weten hoe je dit aanpakt. En dan het aankleden, meine gute, je bent bang dat je die kleine vingertjes en teentjes iets aandoet, zo klein is alles! Maar geen zorgen, met de juiste handelingen gebeurt er niks en kun jij genieten van deze eerste momentjes met je bébé.1. WarmteAls baby’s ergens een hekel aan hebben, dan is het wel kou. En ‘who can blame them’, want wij houden er ook niet van om in de winter uit ons behaaglijk warme bedje te stappen in een koude slaapkamer. Zorg dus dat het kamertje lekker warm is en verwarm de badcape tijdens het badderen fijn met een kruikje zodat de overgang van het badje naar het afdrogen niet zo groot is.2. Snel en efficiëntZorg dat je alles wat je na het badje of het wassen nodig hebt, ook al klaarlegt. Dus dat super duper leuke outfitje, een fris luiertje, wat crémepjes, hydrofiele doeken en een badcape. Zo kun jij alles na het badderen als een soort geroutineerde ninja doen zodat het daarna relaxte knuffeltijd is. En hierbij is de uitdaging: maak het zó comfy dat je kleintje niet verdrietig wordt. 3.VermaakAls je kleintje wat ouder wordt kan het verschonen van een luiertje en het aankleden van je mini echt een hele sport zijn. Ze zouden het moeten toevoegen aan de Olympische Spelen, want wauw, ik wist niet dat het zo erg was om verzorgd te worden. Draaien, krabben, slaan, wegrennen, ze doen het allemaal. Zorg dus dat je afleiding hebt in de vorm van een speeltje een pak billendoekjes, whatever, alles om te voorkomen dat je voor 07:00 ‘s ochtends al het gevoel te hebben dat je er een marathon op hebt zitten.4. Comfy and soft essentialsNiets is fijner dan gepamperd te worden. Dat vinden baby’s ook. Haal daarom de juiste essentials in huis om het spa momentje met je mini zo comfy mogelijk te maken. Kies voor het zachtste hydrofiel, een badcape van een rijke badstof stof en een aankleedkussen die lief is voor het gevoelige huidje. Zo is je mini blij en jij blij. 5. GenietHoe pittig het soms ook kan zijn, probeer toch te genieten van deze momentjes. Je bébé is nu nog zo afhankelijk van jou en het is de perfecte smoes om dat heerlijke lijfje eens uitgebreid te knuffelen en eens even ongegeneerd in die spekjes te knijpen. Want voor je het weet zijn ze zo groot dat ze zelf onder de douche springen en hun eigen outfitjes uitkiezen. Ben jij nog op zoek naar de perfecte essentials om je kleintje lekker te verwennen tijdens jullie spa-momentjes? Shop alle caring moments musthaves in onze webshop. En ik kan je beloven dat wij ervoor hebben gezorgd dat deze momentjes very comfy zullen zijn met de zachtste stofjes en handigste items.

Some parents love it, others find it incredibly nerve-wracking: giving your baby their very first bath. After all the instructions from the maternity nurse, you just go for it and hope everything goes well — and most of all, that your little one doesn’t cry. We asked three moms to share their first bath stories. Do these sound familiar to you? Marlien (35), mom to Charlie (2) and Jens (1)“The first few days you were here, I couldn’t stop sniffing you — your hair, your neck, your tummy, your mouth, everything smelled like you. That’s why I was nervous to bathe you for the first time — would you still smell as lovely afterward? I didn’t want that soapy scent; I wanted your own unique smell. That first magical bath moment... you loved it. No soap, just a soft washcloth. You floated in the warm water, yawned a lot, and were completely relaxed. I dried you off with a large muslin cloth, dressed you in a clean outfit, and you still smelled just like you — perfect!” Liset (39), mom to Jill (7) and Ruby (2)“Ruby spent a month in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) in Groningen. When I was finally allowed to bathe her, she still had a central line, a regular IV, a feeding tube, and was hooked up to a heart monitor. Only the monitor could be briefly disconnected — the rest came with her into the bath. She was still so fragile and tiny, weighing less than 2 kilos and bearing a large scar on her belly. Despite everything, she really enjoyed her first bath. I placed a muslin cloth over her body — it’s said to give a sense of security. After about ten minutes, I dried her off and dressed her in a pre-warmed onesie. By then, I’d become pretty skilled at reconnecting the heart monitor. Then I fed her through the tube, and she fell peacefully asleep.” Anna (31), mom to Otis (2) and Seff (3 months)“So much came at me when Otis was born. He was so unique and smelled so good. I didn’t feel the need for a bath anytime soon. But of course, it was nice to practice with the maternity nurse. I remember being so nervous about changing him — those tiny toes and fingers! So the idea of putting him in the bath felt overwhelming. But when I saw how much he enjoyed the warm water, I relaxed too. Then came the stress again when I had to dress him and he was a little less happy, haha

You know how it goes… You just want to have a little rant or ask how to survive your first vacation with your little one, and suddenly you get an entire essay of unsolicited advice and tips. Your own mother usually tops your mother-in-law in that department. But once you’re actually on holiday, you realise that some of those tips turn out to be surprisingly useful. We’ve listed six of them for you: 1. Washcloths to goDid you know it’s super handy to wet some muslin washcloths, pop them in a sandwich bag in your cooler or a container with a mini ice pack, and use them to wipe sticky faces, grubby hands, or cool down your little one on a hot day? Super sustainable and much nicer than most wet wipes, which dry out in the heat and are often unsuitable for your baby’s sensitive face. 2. Ice, ice, baby!Did you know that babies from 6 months old can enjoy a refreshing ice pop? Just purée the fruit you’d normally use for a fruit snack, add a splash of water, and freeze it in ready-made ice lolly moulds. Tip: You can also take it with you in a leak-proof container — it melts into a slushy consistency, perfect for cooling down! 3. Splash time funNothing beats cooling off in warm weather — whether at home or on holiday. It’s super handy to use your regular baby bath, fill it with a shallow layer of water, and let your little one splash around. Fun guaranteed and your baby cools down nicely. No baby bath available on holiday? A large bucket or washing-up tub works just as well — that does the trick! 4. (P)oops!Did you know swim diapers only contain solid waste? A pee will go straight through. Which explains why the paddling pool is always warmer than the big pool… So make sure to pop on a regular diaper after swimming — otherwise, everything gets soaked in no time. 5. Keep it hot!Timing is everything! You’ve packed the car, you’re off to the South of France with your toddler and baby, and you hit a traffic jam. You know it’s going to take a while — great. But then you glance at the clock and realise your baby will soon be crying for a bottle. That’s tricky on the road. Did you know it’s super handy to always have a thermos with hot water with you? Perfect for preparing formula or keeping breast milk warm. That way, even stuck in traffic, feeding your baby isn’t a problem. 6. Breathe in, breathe outThere are so many cute summer outfits for little ones, but as your mum has probably told you countless times: go for airy fabrics. Muslin, linen, and cotton absorb moisture and are breathable — ideal for hot weather. On really warm days, a romper is all they need. Have you ever received unsolicited summer tips from your (mother-in-law) that actually turned out to be helpful?

It’s finally time! Summer has officially started and the days are getting longer again. We’re preparing for the warm days and getting ready for the long-awaited summer holiday. This summer, we’re heading out for fun family outings. You and your little one will enjoy the weather and relax during this special time. Spending a day at the beach with the family is definitely no chore, and Jollein’s products are perfect for it. It’s time for quality moments and enjoying each other. We’ve put together all the summer tips for you in this blog because Jollein’s lovely must-haves can’t be missed this summer! Let’s Go to the Beach!The first time with tiny feet in the sand — this experience is pure gold! Jollein has the best must-haves to make your beach day a success. Even the tiniest ones can join without worries. Bring our Moses basket to lay your baby in. It’s the perfect basket for daytime naps (under supervision), but also for exploring the world safely close to mom and dad. The basket keeps your little one safe and off the sand. During a sunny, warm beach day, it’s important not to place your baby in direct sunlight, so make sure you also have some shade. Hydrophilic SoftnessJollein’s muslin cloths are an absolute must-have during warm days. These cloths are always handy, no matter where you are. A muslin cloth is frequently used for babies, but often for toddlers too. You can use it as a towel, burp cloth, changing mat liner, or as a cover over the crib sheet or a play mat on the go. In short, a multifunctional cloth. These multifunctional cloths are made from 100% cotton and are extremely soft for delicate baby skin. Use the muslin cloths during feeding to gently clean your baby’s mouth without damaging their skin. We also have washcloths, which are essential for bathing. These handy cloths are a real must-have for your baby or toddler. Shop them in the cutest prints and mix & match the different themes—you can never have enough! Must-Have Summer Sleeping BagsA sleeping bag is indispensable for a baby or toddler because it gives a sense of security. Jollein’s summer sleeping bags are perfect for warm days. They have a TOG rating of 0.5, making them ideal for summer use. Shop the summer sleeping bags in muslin or jersey fabric. Make sure you choose the right size sleeping bag. We offer sleeping bags in various trendy colors and prints. Want to learn more about TOG ratings? Then read our blog. Need info on which size sleeping bag you need? Check out our FAQ page. On the Go!Finally! The days are getting warmer and summer vacation is just around the corner. This means you’re ready to get out and about with the kids! Your little one definitely won’t stay still on the go. You want them to be entertained and comfortable. The silicone toys are ideal for the smallest ones when traveling. Besides the silicone toys, Jollein also offers silicone tableware for on the go. The snack cup is handy for storing snacks for your little one. Thanks to the spiral opening, your mini can easily grab a snack without it falling out—perfect for when you’re out and about. The drinking cup is also a must-have. It’s perfect for little ones starting to drink independently, and thanks to its flexible silicone material, it’s unbreakable! Shop these items in various colors.

We’re here to tell you exactly which items truly belong on your baby checklist. Trust us, you’ll be using these from day one. Muslin Must-Haves You can never have too many. Large cloths, small cloths, washcloths, burp cloths—what do you really need? Large muslin swaddles are perfect for swaddling your baby, using as a changing pad cover, or as a light blanket. Small muslin cloths are ideal to place under your baby’s head while sleeping, for feeding, or as a towel. Muslin burp cloths and washcloths are great for mealtime, to use as a cuddle cloth, or during bath time. Make sure to stock up on muslin when you’re putting together your baby essentials.
