Getting the nursery ready – tips on how to create baby’s room

By in Baby No Comments

Congratulations on your pregnancy! You may be about half way through, or getting close to the end – or perhaps you’re just looking for a few ideas to brood over while you’re in the earlier stages. Whatever stage you’re at, when there’s a baby on the way; it pays to be prepared. After all, we never truly know when they’ll make their grand entrance!

It’s recommended that baby sleeps in your room for a least 6 months after birth, however everyone and every baby is different, so you should always speak to your healthcare professional if you have any questions.

It can be easy to get carried away with colour schemes and beautiful bassinets, cots and gorgeous flooring ideas, and if you’re ready to really decorate then take a look at this website for some amazing nursery flooring ideas.

Giving Birth on Christmas Day – Baby N’s Birth Story

By in Baby, Sponsored 2 Comments

Baby N is our 4th child, and having had 3 pretty positive birth experiences before I wasn’t too worried about giving birth this time around.

My birth with my first baby nearly 9 years ago had been quite difficult, with a very long induced labour, but the care we received couldn’t have been faulted so despite it not being easy I was still left feeling positive about how everything had gone and how we’d been looked after. We were both unwell after the birth so had to stay in hospital longer than usual in the transitional care ward, and over the week saw countless doctors, nurses and midwives – all of them helpful and kind. I’m particularly grateful to the nightshift staff who spent time helping me establish feeding, which I didn’t find easy the first time around as a new mum.

My next two babies came along without too much trouble, the 2nd a week late, and 3rd a couple of weeks early. My due date with N was the 18th of December, so I was mainly concerned with whether she would be born on T’s birthday as he’s also in December just a couple of days before that, so I didn’t think too much about her being a Christmas baby, but as her due date came and went, the boys all started to hope that maybe she would be born on Christmas day.

Nappies Made with Love in the UK

When you have a little one, you want to be sure that you’re doing the best for them – from how we feed them, to how we play with them and put them to sleep, right down to the nappies that we put on them.

I have used Pampers nappies over the years with all of my four children, and have always been able to rely on them for quality. They were the first nappies I turned to with my eldest nearly a decade ago, and now I’m putting them on little N, who’s 9 months old.

Weaning with HiPP, a Moment for Jars

By in Baby, Sponsored 1 Comment

Baby N is almost 9 months! That has really flown by, as she’s transformed from a tiny newborn into a super active cheeky and funny baby with lots of personality. It also means that our weaning journey has been well under way, as we’ve been exploring all kinds of tastes, textures and different foods.

She still doesn’t have a big appetite, but is always open to trying new things and I’m happy to say she does like her green veggies, with some of her favourite foods so far being broccoli, peas and cucumber!

Babease Baby Plan Baby Food

By in Baby No Comments

When we first started weaning Baby N (around 6 months), one of the first baby foods I introduced to her, alongside finger foods like sticks of cucumber which she loves, was Babease baby food pouches.

They have a range of purees which are suitable for when you first start weaning, and then a second stage for around 7 months and up. The foods are vegetable led, so are more savoury than a lot of the fruity pouches you often come across (when you look at baby food pouches, you might be shocked to see ones marketed as vegetables often still have a huge fruit content!)

I’ve always been a fan of Lamaze toys. They’re brilliant right from birth, and all four kids have enjoyed playing with them. Now that Baby N is getting older, more play options are opening up to her so I was keen to explore some these new Lamaze toys which are suitable for babies 6 months and up.

Cosimo Concerto and Stacking Star Seeker are both new toys to the wide range available from Lamaze.
