The list goes on and on... do you ever feel like you're doing everything really badly?!

 

We're here to tell you that you're not. That this is hard and it's okay to find it hard because it's a lot.

 

Making time for yourself should be at the top of that to-do list because it will help with all the rest.

 

TAG a mum friend to let her know what an incredible job she's doing.

Today is World Kindness Day so we though we’d think about kind things we’d have liked to have heard when we our babies were tiny.

 

What else what you add?

 

What’s the kindest thing someone said to you when you were navigating those early days with a newborn?

 

Let us know in the comments.

On this Remembrance Day, we honour the heroes who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we, and our children, could grow up in peace.

 

History reminds us that we must learn, remember, and teach our little ones the values of empathy, understanding, and acceptance.

 

Peace isn’t promised; it’s protected every day by how we choose to live and love.
Remembrance is how we honour those who made it possible and learning from the past is how we ensure history never repeats itself.

Cellulitis is skin infection that’s treated with antibiotics.

 

It can become serious if it’s not treated quickly.

 

Swipe for symptoms and what to do if you suspect your child has cellulitis.

Just when your baby was starting to sleep for longer periods… BAM! Night wakings, nap refusal and daytime fussiness takes over!

 

At around 4 months, your little one’s brain is growing fast! They’re learning new skills: hand-eye coordination, tracking objects, recognizing faces, reaching for toys, and even starting to babble. They may dribble more too (which doesn’t necessarily mean they are teething!).

 

Try to remember: This isn’t a setback - it’s a progression. Your baby needs comfort, reassurance, and lots of love right now. Take care of yourself too and rest when you can.

 

Hang in there. This challenging phase will pass, and your baby is learning so much every day!

Did you spot the danger?

 

The answer: this little one is wearing a thick, puffy coat in their car seat.

It might seem harmless but bulky coats can make car seats far less effective in a crash. That extra padding means the harness isn’t snug against your child’s body, even if it looks tight.

 

Here’s a quick way to check if a coat is too bulky:

Step 1: Buckle your child into their car seat with their coat on and tighten the straps.

Step 2: Without loosening the straps, take your child out, remove the coat, then buckle them back in.

 

If you can pinch the strap between your fingers, the coat is too thick to be worn safely.

 

Instead:

Pop a blanket over them once they’re strapped in

Or use a car seat-safe cover to keep them cosy and protected

 

Please TAG a parent and SHARE to help spread this important safety tip. Let’s keep our little ones warm and safe this winter.

Parenting is beautiful… and exhausting.

You can love your children more than anything in the world and still feel tired, touched out or overwhelmed.

Both can be true.

 

It’s okay to admit you’re exhausted. It doesn’t make you ungrateful, it makes you human.

Let’s remind each other that feeling things doesn’t mean we’re failing; it means we’re doing it all.

 

Sending love to every tired parent out there tonight - you’re doing an amazing job.
