Such a great tool to help parents visualise the size of their newborn’s tummy. The colour of the beads matching the nappy output colour was really cleverly thought out, and the clip makes it very handy to carry around without them getting lost.

Really gorgeous little set. I use it on the wards when I’m helping BF mums and it’s so handy to have a visual when talking about tummy sizes of newborns.

All the midwives that I showed this to loved it and will be ordering one too. It makes it so much easier to describe the size of the stomach to a worried mum when you have an actual ball to represent it. I think its fabulous!!!!
