We all had one... the baby name we absolutely loved but never got to use.
Maybe your partner said no. Maybe it just didn’t suit your little one when they arrived. Maybe you’re saving it for another day.

Tell us in the comments, what baby name did you love but didn’t use?
Bonus points if you tell us why it didn’t make the final cut…

Tag any parents to be who might want some name inspiration!

…unless they are yours.

Newborns are tiny, perfect and vulnerable.

While it’s so tempting to shower a new baby with kisses, it’s important to remember: kissing a newborn can put them at serious risk.

Babies have very fragile immune systems. Even a simple cold sore (caused by the herpes virus) can be life-threatening for them.

Other common infections like RSV (a respiratory virus) can also lead to severe illness.

The NHS advises to:

Avoid kissing newborns, especially if you’re feeling unwell, have a cold sore, or even mild cold symptoms.
Wash your hands before touching a baby.
Stay away if you're feeling even slightly under the weather.

It’s all about keeping these tiny humans safe while they grow stronger!

Mastitis can come on quickly and leave you feeling sore, unwell and exhausted, especially when you’re already caring for a little one. Knowing the signs early can make a big difference.

If you notice breast pain, redness, swelling, flu-like symptoms or feel generally unwell, it’s important to take action promptly. Keep feeding or expressing regularly, rest where you can, stay hydrated and seek medical advice if symptoms don’t improve or you feel very unwell.

You do not need to struggle through it alone. Support is available, and getting help early can speed up recovery.

Save this post so you know what to look out for, and share with a new parent who might need it.

This week is World Immunisation Week, which aims to highlight and promote the use of vaccines to protect people of all ages against disease.
There is no evidence of any link between vaccines and autism. This has been demonstrated in many studies, conducted across very large populations.
The 1998 study which raised concerns about a possible link between the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism, was found to be seriously flawed and fraudulent. The paper was retracted by the journal that published it, and the doctor that published it lost his medical license.
Unfortunately, its publication created fear that led to dropping immunisation rates in some countries, and subsequent outbreaks of these diseases.
Your baby will have immunisations at 8, 12 and 16 weeks and again at 1 year to protect them against a range of serious infectious diseases.

If you are unsure about whether or not to get your child vaccinated and want to do more research be wary of websites making false claims and make sure you only use credible sources.

To help you find them, the WHO has reviewed and ‘certified’ many websites across the world that only provide information based on reliable scientific evidence and independent reviews by leading technical experts. These websites are all members of the Vaccine Safety Net.

Please share this post with 5 loved ones.

In honour of Bowel Cancer Awareness month we’re ask you to share this with 5 friends to help raise awareness of the symptoms.

Bowel cancer is one of the most common cancers in the UK so everyone should be aware of the warning signs.

Other symptoms may include:

changes in your poo, such as having softer poo, diarrhoea or constipation that is not usual for you
needing to poo more or less often than usual for you
blood in your poo, which may look red or black
bleeding from your bottom
often feeling like you need to poo, even if you've just been to the toilet
tummy pain
a lump in your tummy
bloating
losing weight without trying
feeling very tired for no reason

If you have experienced any of the symptoms above for 3 weeks or more please see a GP. Having these symptoms doesn’t always mean you have bowel cancer but it’s important to get checked out to rule it out.
