Everything for the last eight weeks, in one bag.
Bring your ward's list. We tick it line by line, pack it in front of you and tell you what you can leave at home.

Cradle & Co opened in 2017 as one shelf of baby clothes in a corner shop off Agodi Gate. Today it is a two-floor store with a fitting room for maternity wear, a nursery corner where you can try a cot rail with your own hands and a packing table where we put hospital bags together while you wait.
We still work the way we started. Every family gets a person, not a queue. We know the lists the big Ibadan wards hand out, we keep the items they ask for in stock and we tell you honestly when something on a list is not needed. If it is cheaper at the market, we will say so.
Most of what we sell is chosen for the weather here: breathable cotton, muslin, fans that run through a power cut and mosquito nets that zip all round. Prices are in naira, with layaway on the big things.
