Natural cheesecloth nightie with cap sleeves, plunge neck and white and green appliqué daisy, £10; matching leg o’ mutton sleeve dressing gown, £15, both by Alice Pollock for Quorum.

Doing very nicely, thank you . . . because we’ve discovered the new night time naturals. Less fussy than ruched baby dolls or flighty nylon numbers, these natural nighties are in calico, cheesecloth, cotton and cotton lawn in true Kate Greenaway style, but grown-up, sexier.
