    beginning… by Maclaren (initial thoughts)

    As you know Edward is an official Maclaren Kid Tester and he was recently sent beginning… by Maclaren bath products to test out in his everyday life. The other day we were very excited to receive a parcel containing beginning… by Maclaren. The packaging is beautiful and just what you would expect from such a well known brand. Edward loves anything new so was eager to hold (and suck) the packaging. The travel kit for baby contains miniatures of their natural and organic-based ingredients without harmful toxic or chemical additives. As a new mum I try to use only organic…

    Bath time

    Edward still *just* fits in his baby bath but I don’t think we’ll be using it for much longer. I couldn’t resist this little video that daddy took of Edward enjoying himself this evening. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj-qCouA7Rc&fs=1&hl=en_US] We will be returning the Flip Ultra tomorrow. We’ve had a lot of fun using it and got some great videos to keep. We’ll be posting our thoughts on it tomorrow.

    Bringing back bath time

    I love this picture that I took tonight. We decided it was about time we re-introduced a regular bath time to our night-time routine.

For a while we decided not to bath him as the water dried his skin out. There are still a few dry patches but it’s nothing like it was. Fortunately he still fits his baby bath but now he loves to sit upright – so different from a few weeks ago!

    Cuddledry giraffe towel

    Edward loves all things giraffe (or perhaps I love giraffes and just like to buy him things!). Anyway, he has a couple of Sophie teethers which he really enjoys chewing and a giraffe soft toy. So when I was googling ‘baby’ and ‘giraffe’ I was very happy to see that cuddledry have brought out a handy towel to dry your little one safely. I had to buy it! We use it every bath time and as you can see my little one is happy to snuggle in it after his bath. The idea behind the apron style means you can…
