OUR NEWBORN SLEEP SECRETS (SHHHH!)

When any new parent brings baby home for the first time, it’s natural to feel nervous. You can read all of the books in the world, but there’s nothing quite like living it for yourself – magical, unknown, filled with joy and exhausting – often all at the same time. Sleep (or lack of) is a topic on every new parent’s mind, which makes choosing the right sleeping arrangements for you and your family, one of the most important early decisions. Remember that this is your individual experience to shape... Read More

PREPARING TO BECOME A MUM OF TWO AFTER LOSS

Around a year and a half ago, just before Ollie was 1, my partner and I decided we were ready to try for another bundle of love. I got pregnant with Ollie pretty quickly but this time it took almost 6 months. I think when you actively try it usually takes that little bit longer. At around 8 weeks pregnant we were told our baby wasn’t in the right place and unfortunately I was suffering an ectopic pregnancy which resulted in emergency surgery. The pain and suffering and felt was... Read More

A BABY CARRIER WAS AN ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER FOR ME

When I was pregnant with my first baby a baby carrier wasn’t even on our list of things to buy, other than seeing the occasional celebrity in OK magazine wearing their baby in a carrier this wasn’t something that any of my close friends or family had used so it really wasn’t on my radar. That changed though when my daughter was born! No matter what I did I just couldn’t keep her happy in the pushchair!  I tried straight after a feed so I knew she wasn’t hungry, when... Read More

PREGNANCY DIARY

Week 4 – 8 Firstly, what I didn’t know was that once you find out you are pregnant you are actually not 1 week; you are 4 weeks pregnant as it counted from the first day of your last period! Bonus! Never underestimate how well you know your own body. I had just arrived home from honeymoon and told my husband I just didn’t feel right and he told me that it was just jet lag and to not be silly. When I even mentioned getting a pregnancy test, he... Read More

THE 10 ESSENTIAL NEWBORN BABY PRODUCTS THIS MUM RECOMMENDS

When we found out we were pregnant, we were half excited and half shocked.  I told a few of our closest family members but wanted to wait until our 12 week scan before we officially announced it to everyone else.  When we did announce it, the response we had was amazing but I definitely didn’t expect to be offered up so much advice so early on and to be told you need this and that and this and that! Oh and ‘I have this you can have’, ‘did you want... Read More
