The MAM Feed & Soothe Set is a baby must-have for mums who breastfeed.
A just £24.98 (previously £37.98), the Asda bundle comes with an Anti-Colic Bottle, Silicone Teats and a Start Soother.
The soft, breast-shaped teat that mimics natural feeding and supports your little one's unique drinking patterns.
Even better, it's eco-friendly too - with all plastic parts, including the shield and button, made from bio-circular materials
This clever Anti-Colic Bottle is a game-changer for parents, designed to boost your baby's well-being by tackling colic head-on.
Its genius valve system in the base stops air bubbles from forming, meaning fewer feeding issues and a smoother, happier drink for your little one.
Parenting expert Hannah Love explains: "They can help to ensure less air is taken in when feeding - this can help if wind is the cause of the crying."
How do you know if your baby has colic?
Hannah points out that if your baby appears unsettled and crying at feeding time, it could be due to colic.
She says this is diagnosed on the rule of three: "A baby crying for more than 3 hours a day, more than 3 days a week for more than 3 weeks.'
Baby's colic cured instantly by doctor with this simple trick
For babies suffering with colic, Hannah recommends anticolic bottles, such as MAM'S 'Anti-Colic Baby Bottles,' which claim to reduce colic in babies by 80% and offer a simple microwave steam sterilisation that takes just three minutes.
Alternatively, other mums have praised 'Dr Brown's Options+ Anti-Colic Newborn Baby Bottle Gift Set,' which features an anti-colic vent system which is clinically proven to reduce colic.
As per NHS guidelines, it's also vital to sterilise all feeding equipment until weaning and bottles until a year.
"Without sterilising, bacteria can build up and this can make baby very poorly," Hannah explains. "Babies immune systems are immature and even small amounts of bacteria or viruses can make them unwell.
What is colic?
Colic affects up to one in five babies, according to the NHS.
It is the name given for a baby who appears to be otherwise health but excessively and frequently cries.
It tends to begin when infants are a few weeks old and usually stops by the time they're aged four months (six months at the latest).
Symptoms of colic include: intense bouts of crying
crying in the late afternoon or evening that lasts several hours
a red and flushed face when the baby cries
your baby clenching their fists, drawing their knees up to their tummy, or arching their back while crying
Although colic can be difficult for parents, it is important to remember that your baby will get better eventually and that it is not your fault.
The exact causes of colic are unknown, but it has been suggested that indigestion, trapped wind and temporary gut sensitivity could be to blame.
The NHS recommend the following tips for helping your baby. holding your baby during a crying episode
preventing your baby swallowing air by sitting or holding them upright during feeding
burping your baby after feeds
gently rocking your baby over your shoulder
bathing your baby in a warm bath
gently massaging your baby's tummy
"Sterilising and using cooled boiled water help to prevent your baby coming into contact with this excess of bacteria."
The 'Vital Baby NURTURE Advanced pro UV Steriliser and Dryer' uses the latest technology to kill 99.9% of germs in just seven minutes and works its magic without water, chemicals or heat.
Another major perk is that is can sterilise pretty much anything - from toys and accessories to breast pumps and even your mobile phone.
If you're looking for something that works even quicker, then MAM's 'microwave steam steriliser' is another product worth considering.
Suitable for microwave and cold water sterilisation, it features dual baskets so you can sterilise up to six bottles in an impressive four minutes, while the innovative lid design can also be use as a drainer for sterilised items.
Alternatively, if you're looking for a nifty gadget that washes, sterilisers and dries in one easy step, then the 'Baby Brezza Bottle Washer Pro' is a great option.
It features 20 high pressure spray jets that powerfully clean 99.9% of germs with steam, then dries with HEPA-filtered germ-free air.
When it comes to feeding your baby, there's no right or wrong, it's all down to personal preference.
For those hoping to breastfeed, a pump is likely to come in handy as it means others can chip in and feed the baby if you're not about or struggling with sleep deprivation.
MAM's newly launched 'Move Wearable Breast Pump' features peaceful, discreet milk expression technology, allowing mums more freedom on the go.
For a manual option, Nuby's cheap and cheerful 'Wireless Breast Pump,' features 9 adjustable power levels, touch screen controls and 3 modes - stimulation, expression and a combined setting.
As for preventing sore, cracked nipples, 'Pippeta Silver Nip Cups' are likely to become your best friend thanks to the natural healing, antiseptic, and antibacterial properties of silver.
Alternatively, if you decide to formula feed, it's worth noting that brands such as Kendamil offer a subscription which could make your life easier when you already have a thousand and one other things to think about.
Sun readers also recommended purchasing a formula maker to help save those precious moments you could be spending with your little one - and to make life easier for the night feeds!
The 'Baby Brezza Pro Formula Advanced' requires no measuring, mixing or warming and works with virtually all formula brands and all bottle brands and sizes.

How often women should have sex to be their happiest revealed in major study
Scroll down to discover which kind of women were most likely to be sexually satisfied JOY OF SEX How often women should have sex to be their happiest revealed in major study Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A WEEKLY romp is the key to a woman's happiness, according to a study. Women rated their relationship satisfaction highest if they had sex at least once a week, with 85 per cent pleased with their lot. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up That compared to 66 per cent for wives and girlfriends who got it on once a month, and 17 per cent who did it less than that. Study author Alexandra Janssen, from the University of Manchester, said: 'Women having sex less than once a week were far less likely to be satisfied in their sexual relationships. "Therapists working with women to improve their sexual relationship satisfaction might focus on increasing the frequency of sex.' The study questioned 483 women in New Zealand who had been in a relationship within the past year. Read More on sex DEAR DEIDRE I found out my partner is married when he called me by another name during sex Just over half — 56 per cent — said they were sexually satisfied. Results showed that satisfaction was higher if they had sex more often, had more orgasms, rated sex as an important aspect of their life and were younger. About six in ten Brits have sex less often than once a week, polling by YouGov shows. Ten per cent say they get lucky weekly and about another 15 per cent claim to do it more often. Writing in the International Journal of Sexual Health, Ms Janssen said: 'Sexual intimacy plays an important role in romantic relationships. 'In our study, less frequent sex was associated with a lower likelihood of sexual relationship satisfaction. Women who reported having sex one to two times a month were approximately three times less likely to be satisfied than those having sex two or more times a week. The benefits of having sex 'This effect was even more pronounced for women who reported having sex less than once a month, who were 25 times less likely to be satisfied.' Women aged 18 to 24 were most likely to be sexually satisfied and over-45s least likely. Those who rated sex as very important also had happier love lives than those who did not. Ms Janssen said: 'It seems unlikely that low self-rated importance of sex causes low sexual satisfaction. That may cause women to rate the importance of sex as low as a coping strategy.'

At-home ‘brain quiz' reveals your risk of heart disease, stroke, dementia and 3 types of cancer
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN at-home 'brain quiz' can reveal your risk of dementia, as well stroke, heart disease and three common types of cancer. It suggests that taking better care of your brain could boost your overall health, researchers said. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Factors such as blood pressure, exercise and sleep can affect your risk of dementia, as well as heart disease and cancer Credit: Getty Developed at Mass General Brigham - a hospital affiliated with Harvard Medical School - the McCance Brain Care Score (BCS) is a tool designed to assess modifiable risk factors that influence brain health. The quiz's 21 questions evaluate someone's physical health, lifestyle, as well as social and emotional factors. All together, these can pain a picture of someone's risk of brain diseases that come on with age. But researchers found the quiz could also shed light someone's risk of non-brain related diseases, such as heart disease or cancer. That's because neurological diseases such as stroke, dementia, and late-life depression, as well as cardiovascular diseases —including ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and heart failure —and cancers are often driven by the same risk factors. These include things like unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, smoking, excessive drinking, high blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar. Psycho-social factors like stress and social isolation are also drivers of disease. In fact, at least 80 per cent of cardiovascular disease cases and 50 per cent of cancer cases can be linked to these factors, researchers claimed. Senior author Sanjula Singh, of the McCance Center for Brain Health at Massachusetts General Hospital, said: "While the McCance Brain Care Score was originally developed to address modifiable risk factors for brain diseases, we have also found it's associated with the incidence of cardiovascular disease and common cancers." 'These findings reinforce the idea that brain disease, heart disease, and cancer share common risk factors and that by taking better care of your brain, you may also be supporting the health of your heart and body as a whole simultaneously.' 10 second one leg stand test The quiz will generate a score of 0 to 21 - the higher your score, the more brain-healthy habits you practice. Researchers used data from the UK Biobank to analyse health outcomes in 416,370 people aged 40 to 69 years using the test. They found that a 5-point higher BCS score at baseline was associated with a 43 per cent lower risk of developing cardiovascular disease - including ischaemic heart disease, stroke, and heart failure - over 12 and a half years. For cancer, a 5-point increase in BCS was associated with a 31 per cent lower rate of lung, bowel and breast cancer. How to do the quiz Before you take the test, you'll need some information from your health records, such as your latest blood pressure reading, you haemoglobin A1c score, your cholesterol levels and BMI. The test - available on the Mass General Brigham website - starts off by asking people about their blood pressure, cholesterol levels and BMI, as well as smoking, exercise and sleep habits. It also asks patients about social relationships - whether they're close to anyone outside of spouses and children - and if they feel that their "life has meaning". Once you've answered the questions, the quiz will generate a score between 0 and 21, and ways to improve your brain health. The aim is to achieve the highest score possible. The score will be made up of three categories – physical, lifestyle, and social-emotional health – and it measures what you are already doing to protect your brain and prolong your brain health. This can include exercise, sleep, social interactions, lowering blood pressure and more. "Your McCance Brian Care score is a tool you can use to measure and improve how well you care for your brain throughout your life," according to Mass General Brigham. "Small adjustments, like finding some time to walk more in your day or making it a priority to call your best friend, can have a major improvement on your overall score and brain health over time. "Achieving your highest score and keeping your highest score month after month, year after year, will ensure you are taking the best care of your brain as you grow and thrive." Study authors said that previous research suggests that some individual components of the BCS quiz - such as smoking, lack of exercise and high blood pressure - can raise the risk of dementia or heart disease. But they said that their study can't prove that the BSC components can cause disease - only that they are strongly linked. Researchers also noted that the quiz can't be used to predict whether someone will get a specific disease. Instead, it can serve as a framework to help people identify achievable lifestyle changes that support the health of their brain, as well as the rest of their body. Lead author Jasper Senff said: 'The goal of the McCance Brain Care Score is to empower individuals to take small, meaningful steps toward better brain health. 'Taking better care of your brain by making progress on your Brain Care Score may also be linked to broader health benefits, including a lower likelihood of heart disease and cancer. 'Primary care providers around the world are under growing pressure to manage complex health needs within limited time," he went on. 'A simple, easy-to-use tool like the McCance Brain Care Score holds enormous promise - not only for supporting brain health, but also for helping to address modifiable risk factors for a broader range of chronic diseases in a practical, time-efficient way.'
