However easy the child, parents always have concerns of some kind as their baby grows up. Eating’s one thing that’s always on people’s minds. It starts with the whole breast vs bottle worries – what do you want to do,…
Sort out summer feet with Flexitol
Aside from stretchmarks (they were a bit of a surprise arriving literally days before I had N), the other long-lasting mark you often find as a new mum, is dry heels. A bit unexpected and not entirely pleasant. I guess…
Summer treats and tips with BN and Britmums

I think I’ve mentioned before that I’ve been going swimming at lunchtimes to try and get fit, and get back into some semblance of healthy living. Well, the swimming’s going well (also looking healthier thanks to the outdoor pool and building…
Stunts and scooters – trying out the Zinc Chozen scooter
*Ad – gifted for review N’s had his scooter since around his 2nd birthday. He always had a go on the ones (too big for him) at Baby Bounce, so I started him off with a My First Scooter which…
