As all of us seasoned parents now know, the newborn days are but a blink of an eye in terms of having a child. All my life I had a vision of a tiny little baby in my arms and when that time finally arrived, my tiny baby turned into a toddler before I’d had … [Read more.]
Here’s something I wish I’d known about nine weeks ago, when giving birth to my gorgeous third child left me with a not-so-gorgeous and somewhat saggier-than-expected mummy tummy. A belly wrap would have kept all those wobbly bits in check and helped my pre-pregnancy belly bounce back much sooner.
From day dot my baby daughter had a knack for being able to wriggle out of any swaddle I wrapped her in. Velcro ones, fasteners – we tried everything to no avail. So I’m loving the newly launched Snugglebug.
When a new baby arrives in the family or our circle of friends I like to be ready with a gift straight away. Sometimes this is easy if we know what gender to expect, sometimes a little trickier if we are to wait for a surprise. Patience isn’t one of my strong points but I … [Read more.]
Two new colours have just been added to the minimonkey range of slings, and they’re organic! Organic cotton has joined the collection in taupe and country blue, making baby-carrying that much easier and less taxing on the planet.
So many of us have been affected by breast cancer, and the race is on to find a cure with the proliferation of fund-raising pink products. Dandelion is contributing to the cause with their new range of pink baby toys (we featured the regular range here in August 2009).

These lush new keepsake toys are from Playsam’s latest range called ‘Childhood’. Choose from a shiny pink or blue pram and you’ll have the ideal present for newborn babies, christenings and baby showers. I would love to see one made in white, just in case the parents aren’t finding out the sex and you want … [Read more.]
The most treasured item in a child’s life can be anything from a cute cuddly to a tatty old blanket (moi!) or a well-loved dolly. In France, this item is called a ‘doudou’ and it’s THE mission of parents to locate the perfect one before baby is born.
As a shoe obsessed woman (and I know I’m not alone here), I’m incredibly disappointed with my daughter’s shoe collection. It’s not that she doesn’t have any – she has heaps – but that none of them have been worn.
Been searching for that elusive toy for a special little boy or girl? We’ve hit the jackpot for Babyologists with the discovery of these totally original felt animals made by Los Angeles based artist Chika of Chikagraphy.
Completely handmade, each piece is completely unique. I think they’d make a stunning baby shower gift or special occasion … [Read more.]
I love these Loralin Design bootie and hat gift sets from the ABC Kids Expo. They are just so soft and fluffy and would make the perfect newborn gift. Lynne also launched some new cuddly critters at the show, my favourite being the frog.
