TOP TIPS
PUSHCHAIRS
Daily Routine
If
you
are
out
and
about
a
lot
then
think
about
a
lightweight,
compact
pushchair
for
the
busy
spaces
you
might
nd
yourself
in.
Unfortunately
someJmes
people
can
be
impaJent
with
you
so
bear
in
mind
what
your
movements
are
likely
to
be.
___
Take
the
pushchair
for
a
ride
with
all
your
belongings,
although
the
pushchair
may
be
light
at
the
beginning
once
you
have
your
handbag
and
other
items
on
it
you'll
get
a
clearer
idea
of
what
the
pushchair
will
feel
like.
You
can
always
scout
around
online
for
the
best
deal
later
when
at
home.
___
Can
it
be
adequately
adjusted
for
more
comfort
if
he
or
she
is
signicantly
taller
or
shorter
than
you?
Remember,
they
will
also
be
pushing
it
from
Jme
to
Jme.
___
Storage areas
If
you
carry
a
lot
with
you
or
do
a
lot
of
shopping
then
consider
the
size
of
the
basket
area
and
how
you
can
get
clever
with
the
areas
of
the
pushchair
to
store
things.
___
Public transport
If
you
use
public
transport
then
having
a
compact
pushchair
is
key,
otherwise
you
may
nd
your
self
unable
to
hitch
a
ride
at
all.
___
Bringing it home
Consider
your
home
set
up,
if
youre
on
the
top
oor
without
a
lii
then
there
are
obvious
challenges
but
also
check
your
front
door
size
and
where
you
plan
on
leaving
the
pushchair.
___
Think
about
the
space
the
pushchair
takes
once
placed
in
the
car,
will
there
be
enough
room
for
shopping
or
other
items
if
you
are
outbound
on
a
road
trip?

TOP TIPS
CAR SEATS
Don't buy second hand
Of
all
the
things
you
might
consider
buying
second
hand,
this
is
denitely
not
one
of
them.
It's
a
bit
like
not
buying
a
cycle
helmet
second
hand
-
you
just
don't
do
it!
___
Watch
out
for
the
space
between
the
car
head
rest
and
car
seat,
you
might
need
to
remove
the
head
rest
to
ensure
it's
a
snug
t.
You
should
be
able
to
get
only
two
ngers
between
the
straps
and
your
child's
chest.
They
will
undoubtedly
protest
over
the
Jghtness
as
they
grow
older
but
it'll
be
your
job
to
distract
them
whilst
this
is
done!
___
You
dont
need
to
change
your
car
seat
as
soon
as
you
think
plus
it
risks
more
severe
neck
and
brain
injuries
in
a
crash.
Car
seats
that
let
you
keep
your
child
rear-facing
unJl
the
age
of
four
are
becoming
more
common.
___
Please
speak
to
your
retailer
who
will
be
able
to
equip
you
on
all
the
things
you
need
to
know
about
car
seats.
Take
a
pen
and
paper
and
make
notes
and
consider
all
your
opJons.
In
most
cases,
they
should
be
able
to
t
the
car
seat
into
the
car
for
you
too.
___
TOP TIPS
BABY NURSERY
Create a mood board
Have
a
brainstorm
exploring
themes
and
products.
Pinterest
is
great
for
this
and
you
can
very
quickly
collect
a
dozen
images
which
will
excite
you
and
sJr
the
emoJons
in
preparaJon
for
the
li^le
one.
___
Plan
Whichever
furniture
pieces
you
choose
will
mainly
depend
on
the
size
of
your
nursery.
Consider
all
your
pracJcal
challenges
along
with
any
limitaJons
on
budget
and
space.
Think
about
the
long
term
plans
for
the
room
as
well,
which
will
impact
on
how
adaptable
you
want
the
room
to
be.
Take
measurements
and
create
a
oor
plan
to
take
with
you
on
any
trips
to
retailers.
___
Key pieces
You
might
like
the
idea
of
coordinaJng
all
your
furniture,
or
choosing
two
or
three
key
pieces
such
as
drawers,
a
wardrobe
and
a
changing
unit.
ConcentraJng
on
key
pieces
rst
is
a
good
idea
as
there
will
be
opJons
and
exibility
with
other
things
such
as
paints
and
wallpaper
for
example.
___
Seems
like
an
obvious
point
but
make
sure
you
have
enough
space
in
the
nursery
to
walk
around
otherwise
you
will
be
constantly
bumping
into
things
and
sneaking
into
the
room
quietly
won't
be
as
easy
as
you
would
like.
___
Storage is key
Youll
be
surprised
how
many
things
are
needed
at
the
beginning,
and
with
constant
changing
of
clothes,
you
will
want
to
have
everything
stashed
away
nicely
to
give
you
easy
access
on
demand.
___
It
is
best
to
posiJon
the
cot
around
a
safe
zone,
away
from
windows,
heaters,
wall
decoraJons,
cords
and
lamps.
Once
your
baby
discovers
their
inner
adventurer,
the
climbing
and
clambering
will
begin,
make
sure
the
cot
is
away
from
surrounding
furniture.
___
TOP TIPS
If
you
choose
to
get
a
bathtub
remember
they
do
take
up
a
lot
of
space.
There
is
always
the
opJon
of
having
a
baby
bath
seat,
which
doesnt
take
up
much
space
and
the
baby
feels
comfortable
as
well
as
secure.
___
Make
the
bathroom
or
room
nice
and
warm,
newborn
and
babies
can
get
very
easily
cold.
Make
the
water
warm
before
you
put
them
in,
and
don't
let
the
water
run
whilst
the
baby
is
in
the
tub.
____
Pay attention
Never
leave
your
baby
unsupervised,
even
for
a
moment.
Gather
all
you
need
such
as
a
towel,
clean
nappy,
clean
clothes
and
anything
else
you
may
need
in
advance.
Keep
at
least
one
hand
on
your
baby
while
they
are
in
the
water.
If
the
phone
rings
it
can
wait,
otherwise
if
its
important
grab
your
baby
in
a
towel
and
take
him
with
you.
___
Be playful
Bath
Jme
is
a
great
Jme
to
interact
with
your
baby,
so
choose
toys
to
keep
them
busy
as
it
may
be
that
your
baby
doesn't
enjoy
the
water
at
rst,
but
don't
worry
they
will
soon
grow
out
of
that.
___
Choose
a
lovely
massage
oil
for
aier
the
bath,
it
will
relax
the
baby
and
also
act
as
a
great
way
of
taking
out
any
extra
gas
in
case
they
have
some
colic
irritaJon.
Rub
gently
and
bring
their
legs
towards
their
tummy.
___
As
with
most
things
with
parenJng,
rouJne
is
key
it
makes
for
a
calmer
baby
and
calmer
parent.
It
may
seem
as
though
your
eorts
are
in
vain
but
soon
enough
they
will
begin
expecJng
and
respond
wonderfully
to
the
sense
of
comfort
the
end
result
oers.
___
Puung
the
nappy
on
too
Jght
can
stop
the
skin
from
breathing
and
restricts
air
circulaJon.
Leung
baby
go
nappy
free
is
someJmes
a
good
idea,
its
not
only
fun
to
watch
but
is
good
for
their
skin.

TOP TIPS
FEEDING PRODUCTS
Keep baby bottles clean
Baby
bo^les
and
teats
should
be
sterilised
every
Jme
you
use
them.
Newborns
are
parJcularly
vulnerable
to
bacteria.
Some
bo^les
oer
self-sterilisaJon.
___
Anti-colic bottles
It
would
be
a
good
idea
to
consider
these
if
your
baby
is
suering
from
colic
(uncontrollable
crying).
These
bo^les
are
designed
to
reduce
the
amount
of
air
a
baby
takes
in
whilst
feeding.
___
BPA
BPA
(Bisphenol-A)
is
a
chemical
that
is
found
in
some
plasJcs.
It
is
believed
that
BPA
can
leach
out
of
Polycarbonate
plasJc
bo^les
into
babys
milk
and
cause
problems
such
as
diabetes,
breast
cancer
and
hyperacJvity
in
the
babys
adult
life.
Its
best
to
chose
products
that
are
cerJed
BPA
free.
___
Sippy cups
A
great
way
to
encourage
independence.
As
they
grow
they
want
to
become
more
like
us
so
why
not
encourage
them
to
drink
by
themselves
from
their
own
cup.
Some
children
may
take
a
while
before
taking
to
a
sippy
cup
but
introducing
dierent
types
and
styles
may
do
the
trick.
___
Gadgets
It
is
important
to
give
baby
and
you
a
comfortable,
uninterrupted
moment
together
to
get
the
most
of
out
feeding.
Think
about
Jme
and
energy
saving
gadgets
like
breast
pumps,
bo^le
prep
machines
and
food
processors
for
later
down
the
line.
Such
gadgets
can
make
life
a
lot
easier.

HIGHCHAIRS
Lifestyle
There
is
a
style
and
design
that
matches
all
tastes
however
consider
your
home
seung
and
whether
you
would
want
a
seamless
addiJon
of
a
highchair
to
the
table
seung.
___
Space
If
space
is
Jght,
you
will
need
to
consider
how
wide
the
legs
spray
out
and
whether
the
highchair
can
be
folded.
Some
high
chairs
require
the
tray
to
be
removed
before
folding,
which
is
somewhat
cumbersome
if
you're
having
to
do
this
several
Jmes
a
day.
___
Features
Think
about
all
the
adjustments
and
extras
it
can
make
mealJmes
a

easier
and
simpler;
this
includes
the
seat
height
and
tray.
___
Ease of use
Experiment
with
the
tray
and
seat
height
and
other
funcJons,
making
all
the
adjustments.
Youll
be
repeaJng
these
acJons
regularly
with
a
wriggly
child
so
best
to
get
an
idea
early
on.
___
Easy to clean
Mess
is
an
inevitable
reality
of
feeding
Jme
so
its
best
to
ensure
the
highchair
is
easy
to
clean.
Food
geung
trapped
in
li^le
areas
may
result
is
an
una^racJve
and
unwelcoming
highchair.
PlasJc
parts
and
a
removable
seat
cover
are
things
to
think
about.
___
Think ahead
If
you
are
spending
a
li^le
more
on
a
highchair
consider
a
converJble,
designed
to
grow
with
your
baby,
many
of
which
can
be
used
up
unJl
three
years
plus.
Some
brands
have
mastered
this
and
allow
you
to
convert
the
highchair
into
a
snazzy
piece
of
dining
furniture.
___
Safety
The
base
should
be
wide
enough
for
stability
and
never
placed
on
slippery
surfaces.
Make
sure
your
child
is
properly
strapped
in
and
supervised
at
all
Jmes,
prevenJng
them
from
standing
or
slipping
out
of

TOP TIPS
BABY FOOD
The Stages
0-6
months
your
baby
only
needs
breast
milk
or
formula,
aier
6
months
your
babys
rst
foods
can
include
mashed
or
soi
cooked
fruit
and
vegetables
(like
patato,
carrot,
apple
or
pear)
all
cooled
before
eaJng.
From
12
months
your
baby
will
be
eaJng
more
regularly
with
3
meals
a
day
so
by
this
point
youll
have
more
structure
in
place
and
can
have
your
child
get
excited
by
the
meals.
Formula
Avoid
overdoing
it
with
the
formula
powder
as
it
can
cause
consJpaJon
with
your
baby
and
never
warm
up
infant
formula
in
a
microwave
as
it
can
heat
the
feed
unevenly
and
may
burn
your
babys
mouth.
___
When
your
baby
begins
grabbing
the
spoon
as
you
try
to
feed
them,
it
is
a
sure
sign
they
are
ready
to
get
some
cutlery
of
their
own.
Let
them
explore
this
as
you
get
a
break
from
ghJng
with
them
and
seeing
food
land
on
the
oor.
___
An
important
step
in
your
babys
development
and
great
fun
to
explore
new
avours
and
textures
together.
Start
slow,
worrying
less
about
how
much
they
eat
and
more
about
geung
them
used
to
the
idea
of
eaJng.
___
Present choices
Empowering
your
child
with
choices
over
food,
plates,
cutlery,
bibs
etc
this
enables
them
to
feel
more
involved
in
the
process
and
results
in
them
being
more
helpful
and
less
resistant.
___
It
is
fuJle.
The
more
you
try
the
messier
things
will
get
and
the
more
youll
have
a
nervous
li^le
one.
Its
be^er
for
them
to
be
playful
with
food,
understanding
texture
along
with
taste,
avour
and
smells.
Just
keep
some
Jssues
or
baby
wipes
to
hand.
___
Go at their pace
Let
them
take
their
Jme,
and
if
they
are
not
eaJng
as
much
as
you
would
like
or
have
started
to
play
at
the
table
then
mealJme
is
over.
Dont
get
stressed
over
it,
if
they
are
hungry
theyll
eat!
___
Eat as a family
If
possible
try
to
encourage
this
as
much
as
possible,
having
the
whole
family
on
the
table
encourages
social
skills
to
be
developed.
Its
also
a
good
chance
to
show
the
li^le
ones
how
to
eat.

TOP TIPS
BABY TOYS
Age appropriate
Always
select
toys
(and
check
they
are
playing
with
toys)
that
are
designed
for
their
age
group.
Pay
a^enJon
to
any
safety
noJces
that
may
apply.
___
The
more
senses
they
can
use
when
playing
with
a
toy
the
be^er.
Dont
forget
texture
along
with
music
both
of
which
can
help
sooth
and
se^le
your
baby.
___
Most
toys
do
tend
to
end
up
in
your
babies
mouth,
so
do
look
for
toys
that
are
washable
or
include
non-
toxic
informaJon
on
the
label.
___
When
babies
start
to
sit
up
they
begin
developing
their
hand-eye
coordinaJon
and
gross
motor
skills.
Anything
that
can
withstand
some
banging
is
a
good
idea
and
think
about
toys
that
encourage
your
baby
to
stretch
and
reach
out
for
things.
___
Consider
the
surroundings
and
ensure
a
safe
play
area
is
created.
Inspect
it
for
any
sharp
objects
and
edges,
you
want
them
to
crawl
and
explore
safely.
___
Mix
up
the
toys
to
include
both
small
and
large
ones,
the
variety
is
good
for
them
and
helps
with
their
development.

IF
IF
you
can
keep
your
head
when
all
about
you
Are
losing
theirs
and
blaming
it
on
you,
If
you
can
trust
yourself
when
all
men
doubt
you,
But
make
allowance
for
their
doubJng
too;
If
you
can
wait
and
not
be
Jred
by
waiJng,
Or
being
lied
about,
don't
deal
in
lies,
Or
being
hated,
don't
give
way
to
haJng,
And
yet
don't
look
too
good,
nor
talk
too
wise:
If
you
can
dream
-
and
not
make
dreams
your
master;
If
you
can
think
-
and
not
make
thoughts
your
aim;
If
you
can
meet
with
Triumph
and
Disaster
And
treat
those
two
impostors
just
the
same;
If
you
can
bear
to
hear
the
truth
you've
spoken
Twisted
by
knaves
to
make
a
trap
for
fools,
Or
watch
the
things
you
gave
your
life
to,
broken,
And
stoop
and
build
'em
up
with
worn-out
tools:
If
you
can
make
one
heap
of
all
your
winnings
And
risk
it
on
one
turn
of
pitch-and-toss,
And
lose,
and
start
again
at
your
beginnings
And
never
breathe
a
word
about
your
loss;
If
you
can
force
your
heart
and
nerve
and
sinew
To
serve
your
turn
long
aier
they
are
gone,
And
so
hold
on
when
there
is
nothing
in
you
Except
the
Will
which
says
to
them:
'Hold
on!'
If
you
can
talk
with
crowds
and
keep
your
virtue,
'
Or
walk
with
Kings
-
nor
lose
the
common
touch,
if
neither
foes
nor
loving
friends
can
hurt
you,
If
all
men
count
with
you,
but
none
too
much;
If
you
can
ll
the
unforgiving
minute
With
sixty
seconds'
worth
of
distance
run,
Yours
is
the
Earth
and
everything
that's
in
it,
And
-
which
is
more
-
you'll
be
a
Man,
my
son!
