Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Bugaboo fox 2 seat and carrycot pushchair: Was £995, now £746.25, Boots.com
If you’re in the market for a pushchair, consider the Bugaboo fox 2, which currently has 25 per cent off, meaning you can save an impressive £250. This bundle includes an aluminium chassis as well as a carrycot, which is suitable for use from birth, and a stroller seat, which can be used from around six months.
The pushchair featured in our round-up of the best all-terrain strollers, where our tester described it as “beefy and robust”. “Large, puncture-proof tyres and the central joint suspension provide a really smooth ride for parent and baby alike,” they added. “It glides effortlessly over fairly tough terrain and our little tester didn’t jiggle at all.”
Medela freestyle flex-2 phase double electric breast pump: Was £349.99, now £233.30, Boots.com
Breast pumps are a serious investment, which is why we were delighted to see our favourite included in the Boots baby event with a saving of more than £100. Taking the top spot in our pick of the best breast pumps, this model has a compact design and comes with some seriously impressive tech, including the ability to connect to the “MyMedela” app so that you can track your pumping pattern. “This pump was one of the quietest electric models we tried,” our tester said. “The improved flex breast shields gave exceptionally strong but smooth suction, so even the highest level wasn’t painful. It expressed the same volume of milk as the hospital-grade Medela symphony pump, which is incredible for a portable machine.”
Aveeno baby daily care moisturising lotion, 150ml: Was £5.99, now £2.99, Boots.com
Babies have extremely delicate skin, so it’s important to make sure you use products that are specifically designed for little ones, like Aveeno’s daily care moisturising lotion. Designed to keep your baby’s skin hydrated for 24 hours, it soothes sore areas and can be used every day. It has a non-greasy formula with fast absorption and provides fast relief for very dry skin on both the face and body. While we haven’t tried this particular product, Aveeno’s dermexa emollient cream (£8.50, Boots.com) was named best buy in our round-up of the best baby eczema creams, with our tester praising the brand as “the magic word on everyone’s lips”.
Aden and Anais essentials 5-pack cotton muslin squares: Was £19.99, now £15.99, Boots.com
Ideal for cleaning up mess while feeding, dribble or even to swaddle your baby, muslin cloths are multi-use lifesavers. This pack of five squares from Aden and Anais comes in a beautiful rainbow-coloured print with tropical motifs such as playful pineapples, colourful cockatoos and on-trend animal prints. The squares are perfectly sized for life on the go and are made from 100 per cent cotton, making them soft, absorbent and breathable. Although we haven’t tested these muslins, Aden and Anais is an IndyBest-approved brand, with its products featuring in a number of our round-ups, including best baby blankets and hooded bath towels.
Tommee Tippee Ollie the owl rechargeable light and sound sleep aid: Was £39.99, now £29.99, Boots.com
Struggling to get your baby to sleep? Consider picking up this sleep aid from Tommee Tippee, which is designed to ensure your little one enjoys plenty of sweet dreams. The cute and cuddly night-time companion features a soft heart-shaped light and also plays soothing sounds and gentle lullabies designed to help your little one feel reassured as they go to bed. During the night, the gadget’s intelligent “CrySensor” listens out for any crying noises and plays your chosen sound or lullaby to help them drift back to sleep. Even better? It now has 25 per cent off. If this one’s not for you, make sure to check out our round-up of the best baby sleep aids.
Pampers new baby size 1, 50 nappies essential pack: £7 each or 6 for £30, Boots.com
It’s a well-known fact that babies go through a monumental number of nappies, which is why this is such a great deal. As part of its baby event, Boots is offering shoppers the chance to snap up six packs of any size nappies in the Pampers baby dry range, which means you could make a seriously impressive saving of £12 compared to buying them individually. Designed to protect sensitive newborn skin, these nappies come with soft flexi-side wings and double leg cuffs that gently adapt to your baby’s shape to maximise comfort and also feature a quick dry core that absorbs liquid instantly, helping to keep your little one dry and protected.
