Advice for New Parents
We are sure that from the moment you first found out that you were expecting right the way through your pregnancy until your little one made its appearance in the world you have been given advice from everyone.
We are only trying to help. Not everyone is lucky enough to have friends and family members to help them out.
When you are bringing up baby there are no rules. You cannot make that many mistakes as bringing up baby is such a personal thing. You are helping a new life to grow, and showing them the world. How to eat, talk, walk everything it’s all up to you how you do it.
Don’t forget music when you are buying toys. lights, colours anything that grabs their attention is always good to have.
You don’t have to fret that you cannot afford to buy everything at once – after all your surname is not Trump is it!
Just make the odd purchase now and again – when you can save a bit of money together as and when, do not feel pressured by your piers.
It is completely upto you – go at the pace that is comfortable to you.
If things are tight, and you do have any family or friends then maybe they can buy the odd little thing for you once in awhile.
We certainly do not recommend you bankrupt yourself for the sake of your baby. As long as they have food, water, milk, a roof over their heads and bed to sleep in you are doing fine.

When you are expecting your first child we are sure you are flooded with advice from all family members and friends on how to cope with everything from the birth to the first few months etc.
Like most things in life we all handle and experience everything differently, so there is no right or wrong way to do anything just your way.
Don’t put too much pressure on yourself during your pregnancy, labour and afterwards to be perfect! This is a huge experience for both of you and you are going to feel totally different about it afterwards than you think you will.
Don’t bother to read the celebrity magazines and try and lose the weight in a few weeks, it may take anything upto a year but it doesn’t matter. The only things that matter are that baby is happy and healthy, you are happy and healthy and your partner is happy as well.
All the rest will fall into place in time – just as it is supposed to do.
Make sure you look after your self after the birth, you will feel tired for the first few weeks, so expect that.
Just make sure that the your little one is well looked after and you – you two are the most important people right now. Get any mums and sisters or other family member s to rally round as much as possible.
Your husband or partner can pick up the food shopping and pitch in with some household chores for awhile, it won’t have to be for long – just a few weeks until you get back on your feet.
There are many ways other people can help out and cope – especially if you have older more grown up children they can pitch in as well.
Try to make life as easy for yourself as possible.

This is just a small article on how to look after your baby/toddlers through the summer weather, particularly when the weather really warms up.
Like most things in life, it really just comes down to plain old common sense, but in the busy hectic world that we live in, trying to juggle everything is mind boggling, so that is what we are here for:
1. When out and about all keep baby/toddler in the shade, whether you are travelling in a car or pushing them in their buggy, or walking about. In the car make sure they don’t have the sun directly on the top of their head, or directly on the back of their necks. Put up a blind on the window where they sit.
When they are in their buggies, use the parasol and ALWAYS keep a sunhat on them, and suncream. Usually more like a sunblock.
If you go and sit in the park or anywhere else, make sure the area is shady, not directly in the sun.
If they seem unwell cool them down with water and fans and give them lots of drink and come home.
Make sure you have tons of fluids around, predominately water either on its own or water based cordial squash.
You can never get too much liquid in the summer months.
Keep food light. Don’t give them large or heavy meals.
Try your best to keep the house as cool as possible, keep windows shut first thing in the morning, then open them later on.
Keep curtains drawn or blinds down when the sun is at its strongest between 11am and 4pm.
It is very difficult during the nighttime to keep cool, but just do your best.
Unfortunately our knowledge only goes so far – and enjoy the summer, play with them on the beach, sunshine is great for the health as it contains Vitamin d.
Never go out anywhere in the summer without some bite or sting cream or spray on you..
Have a safe and happy Summer!

We are not all about selling – we like to help out as much as we can to. We are here to try and help with all aspects of bringing up baby, the pregnancy, and all the rest that is going to come your way over the next few years.
Now that we are turning from late Springtime to early Summer in the next few weeks we would like to advise you that although it is very healthy to take baby out for a walk in the sun – always always make sure you have baby covered up in all senses of the word.
Put up the parasol on the buggy – or drape a blanket or sheet over the top so baby is in the shade, always without fail make sure baby is wearing a hat at all times when they are out and about even if the sun goes in.
Don’t make the usual mistake that young unexperienced mums and dads do by stripping the baby off as soon as the weather starts to warm up.
Take a leaf out of the celebrities book like Nicole Kidman with her adorable little tot – she never stips of neither her or her little one.
If you are planning a journey to the beach – keep a thin long sleeved top on all the time on all of you and you can even pop in and out of the sea like this – just remember not to strip off. The sun is great – but deadly on the skin!
Always remember your sun cream. Put it on before you leave your house. On babies skin make sure that you use a total sun block – no tanning for your precious little one’s delicate skin, not at such an early age. They have the rest of their lives to tan not in the first few years think white skin.
If you went to the local hospital and spoke to a skin expert this is the sort of advice you would be give.
We do not want to ruin your Summer in any way just remember that although the sun is great, it is so good for both your body and your mind it even contains Vitamin D it is fantastic, but there is heat stroke and many other things to consider by getting burnt by the sun, it hursts and no-one wants all the other side effects that can go with it. I think you know what we mean.
Take care and have a fantastic and safe Summer.
