First Holiday with Baby in Orford
We ventured to Orford on our first holiday with our baby when she was just 8 weeks old.
Suddenly it was no longer about throwing a few clothes into a bag, it was now about making sure we had absolutely everything we needed for our precious little one!
The car was laden full with baby gear including her baby monitor, moses basket, baby bath, activity play mat, numerous outfits of clothing to cover all eventualities of weather, Baby Bjorn Baby Carrier, breast pump, pram, Moby Wrap (we were still in the fourth trimester) and my parents!
We weren’t even going very far, staying within the confines of the UK so we could drive a reasonably short distance. Up until this point our baby had only travelled in a taxi home from the hospital.
Travelling from London to Orford near the Suffolk coast was going to take at least 2 hours. We were certain we’d need to take several breaks to ease the journey (and calm ourselves should our baby take an extreme dislike to her car seat or the car or her Daddy’s driving)!
Pump Street Bakery
Thankfully I’d remembered to include her soothing classical baby music which helped her to sleep almost the entire journey (we were shocked) and kept us relaxed during the busy drive out of London.
Orford is a stunning small town, dominated by the 12th century Orford Castle and Orford Church.
It has some of the best restaurants in the area including Ruth Watson’s Crown and Castle and the Butley Orford Oysterage.
Orford Castle
Suffolk is an amazing and fairly untouched part of England.
It has a stunning coastline and some of the most beautiful inland forests suitable for walking, horse riding and cycling with plenty of walkways and bridal paths.

For somewhere to stay visit Suffolk Secrets which has some of the most beautiful cottages, houses and beach huts for holidays in Suffolk. These are available for rental by the week or for a short break.
The Best Baby Carrier
I was looking forward to getting active again and shifting my post baby weight!
This baby carrier really is the best baby carrier, it gives us the freedom to go out and about comfortably and without hassle. And it’s hugely beneficial if you live in a city as it makes getting on and off public transport a breeze, not to mention fighting your way through crowded streets or busy shopping malls!

We absolutely made the right choice with this baby carrier the BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrier
A gentle rocking motion is created when you walk your baby in the BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrier
Once your baby is around 3 months old their neck muscles will become increasingly strong and it will enable your baby to hold their head up and move their head from side to side. The baby carrier allows your baby to face inwards or outwards. Our baby started facing outwards at around 5 months old and loved travelling in a forwards facing position and being able to see the world in front of her, and she still successfully slept in the baby carrier. I think the excitement of everything going on around her often helped to tire her out!
