We all lose our cool sometimes. Parenting is hard and when we’re tired, stressed or overwhelmed it can spill out in ways we wish it hadn’t. The important part is what happens next.

Acknowledge it. Apologise, without excuses. Reconnect.

A simple, sincere “I’m sorry” shows our children that grown ups make mistakes too, and that taking responsibility matters.

Then comes the hug, the reassurance, the reminder that they are loved and safe.

As Becky Kennedy shares in her TED Talk, it’s not the yelling that defines us as parents, it’s what we do after.
Repair keeps the connection strong, even when we’re not perfect.

🤒 Fevers can be really worrying, especially in little ones.

A fever is temperature of 38°C or above and it’s often a sign the body is fighting off an infection. Most fevers settle on their own, but there are times when seeking medical advice is important.

You should seek urgent medical help if:
• Your baby is under 3 months and has a temperature of 38°C or higher
• Your baby is 3 to 6 months and has a temperature of 39°C or higher
• They seem unusually sleepy, floppy or hard to wake
• They have difficulty breathing
• They have a rash that does not fade when you press a glass against it
• They have a seizure
• They show signs of dehydration, such as fewer wet nappies or no tears when crying

For older babies and children, trust your instincts. If they are not themselves, not feeding, or you’re worried, it’s always okay to get them checked.

Fevers are common and most are mild, but knowing when to seek help can make all the difference. Knowledge brings confidence, and that confidence helps you stay calm when it matters most.

Wishing a very happy Lunar New Year to everyone celebrating!

Lunar New Year, often called Chinese New Year, is celebrated by many communities around the world including in China, Vietnam, Korea and across East and Southeast Asia.

It marks the start of the lunar calendar and each year is represented by one of the 12 zodiac animals.

This year welcomes the Year of the Horse. Children born in the Year of the Horse are said to be energetic, confident and full of spirit.

They’re often described as independent little adventurers with big hearts and natural charm, ready to gallop towards new experiences.

Here’s to a year filled with courage, kindness and lots of happy, healthy little ones.

Today we want to celebrate single parents.

The ones doing double the jobs, making all the decisions, carrying the mental load and still showing up with love every single day. The ones who juggle school runs, work, emotions, bedtime worries and their own exhaustion, often without a break.

Whether you are a single parent by choice, by circumstance, temporarily or long term, you are doing something incredible.

We see you and we hope you know just how amazing you are, especially on the really hard days.

Welcoming a new baby is a huge change, especially for older siblings. Here are some gentle, practical ways to help them feel secure, loved and included during those early weeks.

Plan the first meeting
If you can, avoid holding the baby when they first meet. Free arms mean you can give your older child lots of cuddles first, then bring baby in together.

Prepare your visitors
Ask friends and family to make a fuss of your older child too. A small gift just for them can really help them feel included.

Avoid calling them “the big one”
It can feel quite jarring for a child who has always been the baby. Try not to change expectations overnight and ask others to do the same.

Get them their own baby
A doll they can feed, cuddle or change alongside you can be a lovely way to play and feel involved.

Invest in a good sling
A sling can be a real lifesaver with a newborn and a toddler. Baby stays close and content while your hands are free for play and cuddles.

Create a special feeding box
Save a box of activities just for feeding times. It comes out while you feed the baby and goes away again afterwards.

Don’t “blame” the baby
Try swapping “I can’t, I’m holding the baby” for “my hands are busy right now, I’ll help you as soon as I can”.

Make time for one-to-one moments
Even short pockets of time can mean the world. If you can, step away from the baby and focus fully on your older child
There is no perfect way to do this. Be kind to yourself, take it one day at a time, and remember that love is not divided, it grows.

🧑‍🍳 If you’re not a baker, baking with little ones can feel a bit overwhelming. The good news is it really doesn’t need to be complicated. Baking is a brilliant activity to enjoy together and it naturally supports numeracy, simple science, fine motor skills, and creativity too.

To celebrate World Nutella Day, we are sharing this super simple brownie recipe using just three ingredients!
You will need:
2 eggs
75g flour
225g Nutella
What to do:
• Preheat your oven to 180°C.
• Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and mix until smooth.
• Lightly grease a baking tray and pour in the mixture. You can sprinkle walnuts on top if you like.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes. To check if they are ready, carefully insert a knife into the brownies. If it comes out clean, they are done.
• Leave to cool, cut into squares, and enjoy.
If you give this one a go, let us know how you get on!

🎗️ Today is World Cancer Day, a gentle reminder of how important it is to know your own body and what feels normal for you.

Small changes are often nothing to worry about, but you are the expert on your own body. If something feels different, lasts longer than expected, or just does not feel quite right, trusting your instincts and getting it checked can bring reassurance and peace of mind.

Having these conversations does not need to feel scary. Early checks are about care, not fear, and most of the time they lead to reassurance.

Today we are thinking of everyone affected by cancer, directly or indirectly. Sending love, kindness, and support to you.

Mastitis can come on quickly, and it can feel really uncomfortable, but knowing the signs early can make a big difference

Look out for symptoms like a sore or painful area in the breast, redness or warmth, flu-like feelings, fever, or feeling generally run down. If something does not feel right, trust your instincts.

If symptoms are not improving within 24 hours, or you feel very unwell, it is important to speak to a GP or healthcare professional as antibiotics may be needed.
