    5 top tips for weaning millennial babies

    December 21, 2018 - By 

    Recent research by WaterWipes has reinforced what I already knew, that millennial babies have excellent taste in food. I loved the weaning phase with my millennial babies as they were so happy to try anything. WaterWipes conducted a new survey for their campaign all about messy menus to celebrate the launch of their new product WaterWipes with SoapBerry (we reviewed the classic WaterWipes here). The research results revealed that over a fifth of millennial babies have a sophisticated palette and enjoy a variety of on-trend ‘staple’ foods including avocados, quinoa and houmous. Traditional dishes such as toad in the hole (41%) and…

    Coping with new parent worries

    May 14, 2018 - By 

    I’ve been pretty emotional lately, realising that my children are growing up so quickly right in front of my eyes. Last week they were going through their toy boxes and decided to give away so many of their toys they loved when they were younger. I’m not ready for them to be growing up so quickly and really wish I could slow down time. It’s funny that those baby magazines I used to obsessively read before I started my maternity leave were full of pregnancy and baby advice. They never seemed to mentioned that babies would grow into toddlers, be…

    The top 9 reasons why your baby might cry

    June 15, 2017 - By 

    I follow a few blogs where the family have recently had a baby. Although I’m a bit squeamish about reading the birth stories I love reading monthly updates. Babies grow and develop so quickly and I really miss when my children were babies. Those baby days weren’t without problems. Adjusting to parenthood was fun but challenging and I remember have some trusty parenting books by my bedside so I could constantly check my son was doing the right things. Although my son is only 7 I look back at my precious photographs and realise I hardly took any compared to…

    Pampers UNICEF partner to eliminate tetanus {#1photo1vaccine}

    October 6, 2016 - By 

    Today I have a lovely way for parents and carers to help support the work of Pampers and UNICEF who are protecting the world’s amazing babies against newborn tetanus. Did you know – babies can help save lives by doing nothing more than wearing Pampers. Because Pampers donates 1 vaccine against maternal and newborn tetanus for every pack of Pampers nappies and wipes sold through the “1 Pack = 1 Vaccine” Pampers-UNICEF campaign. This means that anyone can get involved as even if your child is out of the nappy stage I don’t know a parent who doesn’t still carry…

    Celebrating Little Champions with Pampers and Jessica Ennis-Hill

    May 16, 2016 - By 

    My children have kept me on my toes since the day they were born. After a particularly busy weekend, once again running around after my children, I am beginning to wonder if it will ever end 🙂 Pampers have teamed up with Jessica Ennis-Hill CBE, Olympic Heptathlon Champion, to launch the ‘Little Champions Campaign’ which will help to shine a light on the next generation of little athletes and encourage parents to celebrate their own little champions too. You can take a look at the video by clicking here. Celebrating Little Champions with Pampers Did you know – a crawling baby moves…

    Baby sight tool from Vision Direct

    February 28, 2016 - By 

    The first 12 months of a baby’s life is a time of amazing growth and development. I remember trying to plan the nursery for Big Brother and realising that much of the design available was useless until he reached 12 months old and his vision would be almost as clear as an adult’s. Instead of picking the soft pastel colours which seemed popular in the shops we looked for bold colours and designs I knew would help his developing eyesight. Baby sight tool from Vision Direct Vision Direct, Europe’s largest online retailer of contact lenses, has launched a new interactive…

    Win 1 of 2 Limited Edition Philips Avent bottle sets

    April 23, 2015 - By 

    Have you been bitten by Royal baby fever yet? I’m sure it hasn’t escaped your notice that the Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth any day. In preparation, Philips Avent took ‘Charles’ and ‘Camilla’ out around London to ensure they had everything for the Royal Baby. They went shopping in Mothercare and Hamleys, as well as stopping by the Lindo Wing to ensure everything was in order. These photos really made me smile.       Philips Avent have made their products in the UK since 1984, celebrating their 30th Anniversary last year. Avent founder, Edward Atkin, launched…

    Win a Nappy Change Kit from Munchkin

    September 25, 2014 - By 

    Over the Summer holidays we travelled a fair bit around the country. The children don’t mind long car journeys and as soon as we say we’re going away they will pack their rucksacks with toys and snacks for the journey.  As part of my role as an ambassador for Lindam Munchkin I recently received a parcel of useful travel items including a Designer Nappy change Kit, Teether Babies toy and a brilliant Travel Booster Seat and I am excited to be able to offer the Designer Nappy change Kit from Munchkin to one of my readers today.
