Attending primary school is a huge step in the life of your child.

Feeding your newborn is one of the first skills you learn when you become a new parent. It can feel intimidating at first, but you’ll quickly get the hang of it.

Today, dads are more involved than ever in parenting, particularly when it comes to caring for babies. Looking after a baby isn’t easy, however. It’s challenging, but more than that it’s rewarding. And by being more involved in parenting at this early stage, you’ll form a better bond with your child. You’ll also help your partner and get to experience the excitement of watching your baby grow and develop.

It’s never pleasant, putting your baby to sleep in a cot or Moses basket

Moving your baby from sleeping in your room to their own bedroom is one of the most important steps in their development. Establishing good sleeping habits early in life – including sleeping independently from you – will set your little one up for better sleep throughout their childhood.

Of all the challenges facing new parents, a bout of hiccups is one you often don’t expect. And hiccups is a topic that’s rarely talked about in antenatal classes.

Getting a good night’s sleep is one of the best things you can do for your physical and mental health. And that’s especially true when you’re pregnant. But sometime around the mid-point of pregnancy, many women begin to experience sleep problems. The changes in the shape of your body, plus fluctuations in hormone levels, stress, and even issues like heartburn, can keep you awake at night.

Finding the right highchair for you and your little one can make mealtimes a fun-filled experience for both of you. But when it comes to picking the right highchair, you’ve got a lot to consider.

Moving your little one from a cot to their first bed is a big change for them and for you.
