Becoming a new parent is an incredibly beautiful and humbling experience. You've welcomed a new life into the world—a life whose needs you'll prioritise above your own. And as you gaze into their eyes, you realise they are the most important thing.
Yet, being a new parent is not without its challenges. Beyond the well-known sleepless nights lie unspoken practical difficulties: cold teas and coffees, endless laundry, sacrificed self-care routines, and the constant companionship of your breast pump. Imagine the sleep-deprived parent, breast pump and hair dryer in hand, desperate for just a few precious minutes of quiet, 'me time,' all the while, trying not to wake the baby who’s blissfully asleep.
In a recent Quiet Mark survey 78% of Brits emphasised the importance for quiet time as parents of young children, illustrating how quiet technology and appliances at home can significantly enhance your journey as a new parent by providing much-needed peace and tranquillity.
Find your quiet with our Essential Quiet Technology Survival Guide for New Parents. Read on and discover how Quiet Mark certified technology and appliances can help you reclaim your 'me time' when you need it the most!
Your breast pump will go wherever you go, because when it's time to pump, well, it's time to pump - regardless of whether you're at work, out for lunch or doing your weekly food shop. For ultimate discretion, choose a breast pump that's quiet, wireless and smart, like the Quiet Mark certified Elvie Double Breast Pump
For new parents, every quiet moment is precious. The Quiet Mark certified Bosch Tassimo MyWay2 Coffee Machine, with its silent operation, ensures your peace isn’t disturbed. Its 'Extra Hot' option is a perfect boost to help keep your beverage warm, for you to savor during your well-deserved break. Enjoy serenity and a hot drink without waking your little one.
With so much to do as a new parent, can also mean forgetting to look after yourself. Follow a healthy diet and make sure to get your 5-a-day. Using a juicer can help ensure you get your recommended intake of vitamins and minerals. The Quiet Mark certified Juice Expert by Magimix is powerful and quiet, so you can blend a favourite, healthy drink when you get a moment.
As a new parent, it's important to make the most of the quiet moments and do something to pamper yourself - you'll enjoy it and it's good for your mental health too. The Quiet Mark certified BLOW hair dryer by mdlondon is super quiet and perfect for your DIY beauty routine.
Creating a relaxing atmosphere at bedtime can help make you more energised and ready to take on those middle of the night feeds. The Quiet Mark certified Lumie Bodyclock Luxe 750DAB mimics the light and colour of a fading sunset, which creates an environment where sleep comes more easily.
Whether baby is asleep in their cot or staring at you from the bouncer strategically placed on the bathroom floor, taking a relaxing shower can re-energise you and will give you a few moments of calm. Triton’s thermostatic power shower is so quiet that when the water is running, you hardly hear the pump, and as such has been awarded the Quiet Mark award of approval.
We spend around 90% of our time indoors, yet indoor air can be up to five times more polluted than outside. The Quiet Mark certified Daikin MC55VB Air Purifier minimises asthma and allergy symptoms by removing dust particles, pollen and other allergens from your indoor air. The result: healthy and clean air quality for everyone.
Mess comes with the territory, especially as they reach those toddler milestones. Investing in a vacuum that is quiet, powerful and that can deal with the aftermath such as the Quiet Mark certified Bosch Series 8 Unlimited Gen2 Vacuum Cleaner will be a game changer.
The amount of washing you'll do can be unexpected. You'll wash all their new outfits, bedding and sets - fresh for when they come home. And once they're home, you'll need a good family sized washing machine to keep up with your growing family. The Quiet Mark certified LG Turbowash™ FH4G1BCS2 Smart Washing Machine boasts a large 12kg drum so you can get all your washing done on the quiet.
After a long day, the last thing you'll want to do is lots of chores. Getting quiet technology like a dishwasher will allow you to focus on other things whilst your appliance does the work for you. The Quiet Mark certified Miele G 5310 SC Stainless Steel Freestanding Dishwasher gets those dishes washed in under one hour with QuickPowerWash.
