Using Baby Sign Language

My 11 month old baby girl is totally wonderful in so many ways but recently we are all marvelling at how she is able to communicate her thoughts and needs by using some of the signs we have shown her.

If she spots a cat outside the window or in a book she strokes [...]

Why we love using washable baby wipes

As we were fortunate enough to be given LOADS of second hand washable nappies I am really enjoying not having to use disposable nappies which I’m glad about as disposables cost a fortune (about £10 for a week’s worth of botty changes) and they also are super stinky in the household [...]

Using Cranial Osteopathy to help a baby who cries a lot

Happy now…

Welcoming a New Arrival

Our little baby arrived in the small hours of Thursday 24th January and we were thrilled to discover that the mystery resident was a baby girl all along. We have named her Scarlett and cannot believe how tiny or how lovely she is.

Of course it is now a constant juggle to manage a house,[...]

Considering using washable nappies (diapers) instead of disposables

Having read a leaflet entitled ‘Real Nappies’about informal drop in sessions being held locally for people wishing to find out more about using washable nappies I went along to a ‘Nappacino’event and saw a very knowledgeable woman who knows all about using disposable nappies as a cheaper,more environmentally friendly and [...]

A Green and Thrifty Pregnancy:Update

This week I realised I have managed to gather everything I will need for the expected new addition to our family due sometime in January.

The icing on the cake was being the winning bidder on eBay for a fantastic Graco travel system/pram/pushchair/car seat (*with* senior &junior cupholders!) which is a bit of a [...]

Where to get second hand washable nappies

A slightly shocking discovery was made this week when an eBay seller told me she had been made to stop an auction of her pre-loved washable nappies as eBay authorities deem them too unhygenic to sell.
