When should a parent stop using a sleeping bag and transition to a duvet?
You can safely transition to a duvet when your baby reaches 18 months. To help with this you can use a cotton top sheet to prepare your little one for a loose cover rather than a sleeping bag.

18/05/2023

If you're concerned about your baby possibly experiencing reflux or showing signs of inadequate milk intake, it's always best to consult with your GP or Health Visitor. They can discuss various medications that may help alleviate reflux symptoms.

Here are some questions to consider:

Is your baby frequently sick during or after feeds?

Does your baby appear fussy, upset, or refuse to drink during feeds?

Do you notice excessive crying or signs of distress after feeds?

Does your baby have difficulty burping or show resistance to burping, often accompanied by back arching?

Does your baby struggle to settle, especially when laid flat?

To help you and your baby, we recommend taking these positive steps:
Provide gentle winding throughout your baby's feed.

Distracting them during burping with reassurance and interaction can help keep them calm.

Try feeding your baby smaller amounts more frequently. Monitoring their daily intake through a feeding diary can be helpful.

If you're bottle-feeding, consider offering your baby a thicker milk. There are various brands available, but seek advice and avoid rapid changes in formula.

Keep your baby upright for 20 minutes after each feed to allow the milk to settle.

Dress your baby in comfortable, non-restrictive clothing, particularly around the tummy area.

As a new parent, it can be incredibly challenging to hear your baby cry, especially when dealing with reflux. Rest assured, as your baby grows and develops, the reflux is likely to diminish, making it easier for both of you.

Remember, reaching out to healthcare professionals for guidance and support is crucial during this time. They can provide personalized advice and address any concerns you may have.

Testimonial
Vickie is an Utter Natural with Babies
Wonderful Vickie! Vickie is a kind, caring, supportive and utter natural with babies. Wanting to ensure that we started out ‘on the right path’, we had numerous telephone consultations with Vickie after the birth of my daughter. Becoming a new parent is daunting enough but once you throw in a reflux baby for good measure after a testing birth, having that support and knowledge was priceless.

It is not just this that makes Vickie so wonderful, it is that she actually listens to you and your needs and works with you to ensure that you are happy and confident with the plan that you make. She takes her time to understand what you are and are not comfortable with and then helps you take the right steps in order to achieve a calm household. She goes above and beyond. Thank you, Vickie!

Top Tips for fun in the sun with your little beach baby
If possible try to avoid sun exposure between 12pm-3pm. This is a perfect time for a siesta for your baby.

If your baby is younger than six months try to avoid the sun altogether. You can buy UPF50 pop up tents which are perfect for protecting your baby from the sun. They also offer privacy for feeding and cat-naps.

Depending on the age of your baby apply sunscreen before you go to the beach and apply evenly at regular intervals throughout the day, especially before and after dips in the water.

Babies don’t usually like keeping hats on so try and find a sun hat that you can secure to protect your baby’s head, sunglasses too if your baby is older.

A full body sun suit offers wonderful protection for all children but especially babies under 12 months.

Find a shady spot to escape and cool off or take a trip to the beach late afternoon when its cooler and quieter.

Keep your beach bag topped up with extra swim nappies and change regularly.

Keep some cooled boiled water handy to keep your baby hydrated.

Baby beach ware? Keep it simple…Merino or cotton will keep your baby comfortable all day long.

Keep anti-bac wipes and hand gel in your beach bag…perfect for wiping sandy fingers and toes!

Breastfeeding with Confidence: Our Top Strategies for Success
Try to avoid expressing for the first two weeks. Let your baby take the lead on supply and demand when breastfeeding.
Wake and feed your baby three hourly in every 24 hr period.
If you have a bigger baby they may prefer sleeping for longer periods at night.
Regular three hourly feeds will help your baby to remain hydrated and return to birthweight within two weeks.
If your baby has issues latching or you have cracked, bleeding or inverted ni***es I highly recommend ni**le shields.

Attention Employers with Team Members Going On Parental Leave!

As a professional woman, going on maternity leave can be an exciting yet overwhelming time. That's why my Parental Leave Support Package is the perfect way to show your employees that you care about their wellbeing.

The 'Welcome to the World' Support Package is a thoughtful and practical baby gift that offers peace of mind, expert advice, and guidance on feeding, routines, and sleep for employees who could use some extra help. With a tailor-made routine designed to suit every family, I help parents establish healthy habits and provide the tools they need to ensure their babies sleep through the night and feed well.

The benefits of swaddling your baby
Many cultures have swaddled their babies for centuries. When settling your newborn I always recommend swaddling, especially if your baby is over-tired or over-stimulated. Before you swaddle your baby take her somewhere quiet, have a cuddle until she calms, swaddle her securely and she will immediately relax in your arms.
