When it comes to wardrobe choices for a stay-at-home day of baby-wrangling and housework, comfort is key (clean is a bonus). So these Australian-made and designed House Shoes hold instant appeal for me, with their soft foam soles and super comfy stretch cotton. This stretchiness means the slippers mould to the shape of your foot – particularly handy for mums-to-be with swollen ankles. Machine washable (love that!), House Shoes also have a lightweight design which makes them perfect for squishing into suitcases while on the road.

House Shoes are available through their website for $39.95.
