This Autumn, The Baby Show, the UK’s leading and largest pregnancy, baby and parenting event for new and expectant parents returns to Olympia London to celebrate its 21st year. Sponsored by Lidl GB, and taking place at the venue’s birth place, The Baby Show will once more play host to the UK’s biggest selection of baby brands all under one roof, from Friday 21st October to Sunday 23rd October 2022 at Olympia London.

Having provided a one-stop-shop for over one million parents and parents-to-be to date, The Baby Show with Lidl GB enables visitors to try before they buy, take advantage of unbeatable offers and listen to the nations’ top experts within the baby and parenting sectors and even watch live demonstrations to help with those all-important big purchase decisions.

With over 350+ brands and thousands of products to discover, including well-known and loved household names such as iCandy, Lindex, MAM, Silvercross, Mamas & Papas, Tommee Tippee, Stokke®, Chicco, BABYZEN™, Daisy First Aid, Nuna, Inglesina, Venicci, Vitabiotics, Obaby, Nanit, Peg Perego and BabyBjörn to name just a few, The Baby Show has been an integral part of supporting families on their journey to parenthood for 21 years.

A recent survey carried out by The Lullaby Trust shows that 59% of parents with babies under a year old say their baby sleeps for less than 4 hours at a stretch. The results also showed that 44% of parents think their baby should be sleeping for longer than they do.

This year, The Baby Show is proud to introduce another new and exciting feature – The Sleep Well Clinic with Nanit. The new Sleep Well Clinic will aid new and expectant parents in finding the best products to help babies (and themselves) get some much-needed shut-eye. So, this new addition is not one to miss.

As well as product demonstrations, some of the nation’s leading sleep experts including The Parent & Baby Coach, Heidi Skudder, Calm & Bright Sleep Support, Gem and Eve and Teach to Sleep Founder, Sarah Patel, will be available in the clinic throughout the event for free one-to-one consultations to offer advice and sleep support.

Popular returning features include the MadeForMums Buggy Testing Track where visitors can test their favourite buggy, pram, pushchair and travel systems on various terrains, ensuring they find the ideal stroller to suit your requirements.

We have introduced some new show features for visitors to enjoy, as well as making sure The Baby Show continues to provide everything new and expectant parents will need as they prepare to welcome their little one into the world.”
