    The day I met Paula Radcliffe

    Blogging has it’s perks and the best event of the year so far was the invite for me and Little Sis to meet Paula Radcliffe. I have photographic evidence: Yes she is tiny and I am huge but doesn’t Little Sis look pretty?! Moving on…. We were there to celebrate Pampers who have teamed up with Paula Radcliffe to celebrate babies’ spirit of play through the Pampers Little Athlete campaign. Did you know a cruising baby can take as many steps as a marathon runner in a race within 24 hours? As the world’s greatest athletes descend upon London for…

    Tips for new mums (#newmumtips)

    Pampers celebrates the potential in every baby and by sharing your ‘newborn’ advice you could win a £50 voucher to a spa or restaurant of your choice. Interested? Read on! Tips for new mums (#newmumtips) Knowing my Second Baby is due next week (eek!) Pampers asked me if I would like to help celebrate by sharing with other Mums the best piece of ‘newborn’ advice we were given.

    Born to play

    We recently took a look at how Edward plays with help from Pampers and found out he loves Active play. We were invited to try out the Pampers Active Fit Play challenge for one week, were sent a week’s supply of Pampers Active Fit nappies and tried out some of Dr Maggie’s Redshaw’s play tips for the other 3 types of play – social, make-believe and exploratory play. We’ve used Pampers nappies since Edward was born and for this challenge have been trying Pampers Active Fit nappies size 5. They fit well and haven’t leaked once (despite rigorous play!) and…

    A moan about nappies

    I found this post as a draft that has been hanging around since November 2010! Time unfortunately hasn’t helped so I thought I would post it in case anyone can help. I have to rant about disposable nappies. Ages ago we were asked to test Huggies natural fit nappies. During the day the nappies were fine but at night they consistently leaked meaning I had to change all of Eward’s clothes, sleeping bag and bed sheets. It’s not only Huggies that have let us down. We’ve also tried Pampers Active Fit and Pampers Baby Dry without success. Last week three…

    Land of Golden Sleep

    We’re really fortunate that Edward is a good sleeper. However, not everyone baby is a good sleeper and the latest Pampers campaign may be of interest. As part of the launch of the new Baby-Dry nappy, Pampers have just launched the Land of Golden Sleep where mums can find helpful hints and tips to help their little ones fall asleep! Apparently while your baby sleeps they can wee up to 12 times a night! Until now the link between weeing and baby’s sleep has not been fully understood. However, the results of new research, pioneered by Pampers, offers exciting findings.…
