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.

Expecting a little star this February?

Their birthstone is the amethyst, said to bring calm, confidence, and a touch of magic to their personality.

Their birth flower, the violet, symbolises love, loyalty, and gentle strength.

Depending on when they arrive, they’ll be either a curious Aquarius or a dreamy Pisces, both known for big hearts and brilliant imaginations.

Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that happens when the body overreacts to an infection. It can develop quickly, which is why acting fast really matters.

As a parent, you know your child better than anyone. It’s so important to trust your instincts.

If your child shows any early warning signs, seems more unwell than you would expect, or something just doesn’t feel right, seek urgent medical attention straight away.

Save this post so you can refer to it later. And please share this with your friends with little ones.

Would you know how to tell if your child has worms?

You can spot worms in your poo. They look like pieces of white thread.

You might also see them around your child's bottom (a**s). The worms usually come out at night while your child is sleeping.

You can buy medicine (mebendazole) for threadworms from pharmacies. This is usually a chewable tablet or liquid you swallow.

Treat everyone in your household, even if they do not have symptoms.

Tell the pharmacist if you need to treat a child under 2, or if you're pregnant or breastfeeding. Treatment might not be suitable and you may need to speak to a GP.

Medicine kills the threadworms, but it does not kill the eggs. Eggs can live for up to 2 weeks outside the body.

Here are some do’s and don’ts for dealing with threadworms.

SAVE this post in case you ever need to refer to it.

Hormones are chemicals produced by different glands across your body. They travel through the bloodstream, acting as messengers and playing a part in many bodily processes.

One of these important functions is helping to regulate your mood.

Certain hormones are known to help promote positive feelings, including happiness and pleasure and these are some very simple ways we can help our bodies to produce them!

Today we want to take a moment to recognise just how much commitment goes into pumping. Not just physically, but mentally too.

Pumping can be exhausting. The planning, the cleaning, the timing, the interrupted sleep, the sitting attached to a machine while life carries on around you. It can feel isolating, frustrating and relentless at times. It is hard work, even on the days when it is going well.

But it is also an incredible act of love and determination. Showing up again and again, even when you are tired, touched out or doubting yourself, takes real strength.

If you are pumping right now, whether that is full time, part time, exclusively or occasionally, we see you. If you pumped for a week, a month or longer than you ever thought you would, that matters. And if you stopped because it was too much, that matters too.

However you feed your baby, you are doing an amazing job.
