Parents naturally steer clear of air travel when they have a newborn baby. This may be because of health fears about taking a baby on a plane or because they feel it would be too stressful.

A baby carrier is one of the great products for making life with a newborn baby that bit easier. Useful for outings when pushchairs are too impractical, perfect for keeping baby close when you’re doing chores and ideal for comforting baby when they won’t settle. But how do you choose the right baby carrier?

Making your home baby proof requires attention to detail - the sharp edges, trapped fingers in cupboards, trip hazards etc. However, you should also consider the house and its overall safety for you and your baby. Could there be a more serious threat to safety in your home than a fire?

The time will come when your baby officially becomes a toddler and a cot is no longer big enough, or safe enough, to accommodate them during the night. Making sure your toddler is able to sleep as soundly and safely as they did when they were a baby is a concern for parents.

One of the joys of a newborn baby is watching them sleeping peacefully in their cot. However, as many parents will testify, getting a baby to go to sleep and then making sure they stay asleep through the night can cause plenty of problems and have a major impact on the rest of the family.
