Struggling to Find the Best Baby Names?
Pregnancy is a doddle when compared to finding the perfect name for your baby.
My husband and I spent months, weeks, days and hours brainstorming, debating and deliberating on names.
And the craziest thing of all was that I despised the names he liked and he wouldn’t (perhaps it was out of spite for me not liking his names) agree to any of the names I came up with.
The clock was ticking and I began to envisage us in hospital, with our new baby in our arms and a blank name tag, whilst we continued to try and reach a decision.
We desperately needed some guidance.
My husband was coming up with more and more bizarre names in an effort to be the one to find the perfect name for our baby.
I feared he was close to approaching wacky celebrity baby name status where the likes of Apple, Sage Moonblood, Ocean and Blue Angel exist.
I went straight to the bookshop for some advice and can heartily recommend 60,001 Best Baby Names
It’s not easy. The name you give your baby is the name he or she will be stuck with forever (that’s if they don’t change it by deed poll)!
They say that a name can influence the life of a person, their career and even their ability to interact successfully with others. And if you’re not feeling the strains of future parenthood yet, the pressure is on you to get it right!

Salcura Baby Eczema Treatment
Salcura DermaSpray Intensive Skin Nourishment
The Salcura range helped to treat our baby’s eczema and her skin cleared up in a few weeks.
Eczema causes red, dry and itchy skin and can occur anywhere on the body. Eczema is very common in babies, with around 15 to 20 per cent of babies suffering from eczema at some point, usually occurring for the first time before they are 2 years old.
My baby developed eczema when she was 9 weeks old. I found it really distressing seeing the irritation and soreness it created. As a result of the discomfort and itching from the eczema our baby’s sleep was disrupted, which meant our sleep was disturbed as we woke to her crying and spent many hours soothing our baby.
Our GP recommended several brands of medicated creams, including steroid cream, which we tried in vain. They worked for about 5 days and then the eczema would flare up again and the creams we had used no longer helped to calm the irritation and red, dry skin.
I searched endlessly for a magical cure and came across the brand Salcura which is a natural treatment for eczema and dry, itchy skin.
I love the fact that Salcura products are natural as I don’t like to use chemicals on my baby’s delicate skin.
Having experienced eczema with my baby at a very young age Salcura was the one product that worked in clearing up her eczema and continuing to manage any flare-ups. It keeps my baby’s skin moisturised and soft.
Salcura DermaSpray Gentle Skin Nourishment Spray works wonders for soothing the redness and itchiness of the eczema on my baby’s delicate skin. It is safe to use on newborns and can be used up to 12 months of age. It contains no chemicals or steroids.
From 12 months of age the Salcura DermaSpray Intensive Skin Nourishment Spray can be used.
We use Salcura DermaSpray Intensive Skin Nourishment Spray in conjunction with Salcura Zeoderm Skin Repair Moisturiser which really helps to soothe and treat the dry skin, providing the best levels of moisture out of any of the other creams we’ve used. It’s wonderful for healing broken skin.
At bath time we use Salcura Bath Oil for babies by adding a few drops of oil into our baby’s bath water. It helps to moisturise the skin and no rinsing is required afterwards, as it creates a barrier over the skin helping to retain moisture.
As well as treating the eczema, we’ve found that keeping our baby in clothes that are 100% cotton and loose fitting help to make our baby more comfortable. And switching to the non bio Surcare sensitive skin laundry range for washing our clothes, has stopped any itchiness that was caused by harsh laundry detergents.

How to Take the Best Baby Photos
Every time you’re with your little one you’ll want to capture the moment and take the best baby photos.
I’ve been amazed at the speed my baby has grown and developed. Each day she looks slightly different and surprises me with something new.
One of the best ways to capture these memories is with a good quality, easy to use digital camera. This way you can be out and about, running around and still manage to snap away.
The Olympus VR-340 Digital Camera
Once you’ve got the right camera, how do you take the best baby photos?
Numerous books have been written on this subject but the two which really stand out for their ease of use (you don’t need any prior knowledge of photography) and lack of technical jargon are:
- Your Baby in Pictures
Both books showcase beautiful photos which provide inspiration for settings.
And if you’re like most time strapped parents, you’ll be wanting to save as much time as possible when transferring your photos from your camera to your computer.
To quickly and easily transfer hundreds of photos from my camera to my computer I use the Integral USB External Memory Card Reader
All you need to do is put your memory card into the USB slot of the SD Reader and plug it into a USB port on your computer. It then transfers all photos and videos in a few seconds, directly to your computer. It’s so much faster than transferring them directly from your camera to your computer! Saving you precious time.
