She balances a busy modelling career with life as a mother to two young children.
And Megan Gale – who shares son, River, five, and daughter Rosie, two, with her fiancé, Shaun Hampson – has revealed the essential baby brands she can’t live without.
She told authors Samantha Brett and Carly Abraham in their new book, Buying for Baby, that her kids get organic skincare products, upmarket strollers and the ‘Rolls-Royce of car seats’.

Megan uses her own line of skincare products from Mindful Life, which are ‘gentle, safe and soothing products for babies and small children’.
A basics pack costs $110.75 and features nappy cream, lotion, hair and body wash, balm and massage oil.
Megan said that she always tries to be ‘mindful’ when it comes to raising River and Rosie, hence the name of her range.

‘My hope is that you will use these products [at bath time] as a reminder to enjoy a beautifully chaotic time of day with your child and to immerse yourself in it,’ she said.
‘Enjoy being the centre of their whole universe while you can and connect with them, so that later in life and upon reflection, you will know you made those moments count and you didn’t take it for granted.’
When it comes to prams, Megan opts for Bugaboo strollers, which cost around $1,800 for a standard model.

In July last year, Megan reflected on her battle with postnatal depression, which she suffered after giving birth to River in 2014.
It was the same year that her father, Alan, and Shaun’s father, Tom, both died.
Speaking on the podcast Tales From the Fourth Trimester, Megan recalled ‘crying every day’ from May to November that year.

‘I do remember crying every day, but I don’t think it was because of dad. I feel like it was because of feeling like I was not coping,’ Megan explained.
She added that she wasn’t able to distinguish between her feelings of tiredness and depression at the time, which made her condition hard to diagnose.
‘Am I just tired and emotional? Is it hormones or am I a little bit depressed?’ she said.
