A Royal Baby: The 5 S’s For a Regal Shower
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their third baby any day. While we don’t know the gender yet, we do know that the Royal family will have all their needs met.
Whether you are about to deliver, or your little prince or princess is already here, we share everything needed for a royal-inspired nursery, plus gifts to help big brother or sister grow into their role.

STROLLER & CAR SEAT
The first thing most families think of when it comes to a baby shower is safely getting the newborn from the hospital to home and the ease of being mobile with baby once you feel well. UPPAbaby is one of the premiere car seat and stroller solutions. The UPPAbaby MESA car seat has a smart secure system and includes a five-star rating when it comes to safety. The stroller is a multitaskers dream and just as Kate is having her third child, the UPPAbaby Vista can easily adapt from one to two to even three children!

SLEEP
Sleep is so important for any new mom or mom with multiple kids and now a newborn. DockATot Deluxe and Grand can help baby sleep in any room of the house or even on the move, like from palace to palace or spring home to summer home. Since there are different sizes it can help with lounging and bed transitions for the older kids too.

SOOTHE
Keeping baby comfortable and soothed all day is imperative as mom and dad try to continue with their normal routines ranging from business to cooking and attending to siblings, or in Kate’s case charity events and public appearances. The 4moms mamaRoo 4 bounces up and down and sways from side to side just like mom and dad do. In fact there are 5 different motions and speeds and you can even control it from your smart phone. Because the Royals have multiple homes and multiple size rooms the 4moms rockaRoo is 70% smaller than swings but also has 5 different speeds. Plus just in time for royal baby and royal wedding madness, the new Little Royal Newborn Insert offers majestically stylish support for your little prince or princess.

SIBLINGS — KEEPSAKE & PLAY
We can’t forget the siblings Prince George (4) and Princess Charlotte (2) need to feel loved and appreciated as much of the attention will go toward the newest member of the Royal family. We absolutely love these Thicket & Thimble Heirloom Woodland Dolls, made entirely by hand and every doll is a limited edition design. The mum that of two that makes this line is based in the beautiful English countryside in Kent. AND since Prince Harry is getting married in May, Thicket & Thimble also has a royal wedding line of dresses coming as well!
