Hodge the Hedgehog
We love the book Hodge the Hedgehog by Amy Sparkes, illustrated by Benji Davies.
I bought this book for my baby a few weeks ago to take on holiday with us and it has been read every day since with much appreciation, from both myself and my baby!
The story is wonderful and the illustrations are gorgeous, it really captures the attention of my 18 month old.
My baby loves naming the animals in the book and grey Mouse in the bubble bath gives her the giggles.
Hodge the Hedgehog is a delightful story with fun and colorful illustrations.
The Importance of Reading to Baby
Jellycat Jungly Tails Book
It’s never too early to start reading to your baby.
Reading is a wonderful way to communicate and bond, as well as being a fun activity for both you and your baby.
As you read, your baby will listen to you talking and is comforted by your voice and being held close to you.
Reading encourages your baby to understand the different sounds of speech, the use of language and non-verbal communication through facial expressions and gestures.
Children whose parents read books to them when they are young often learn to talk, read and write more easily.
Parents, grandparents, siblings and friends can all share in the pleasures of reading to baby, making reading a varied and enjoyable learning experience.
Have fun reading to baby during playtime, in the bath and before bedtime:
Part of baby’s daily activity and play teaching baby about sound, texture, visual stimulus and music.
Have fun splishing about with bath time books suitable for water and lots of splish splash sploshing!
Help baby understand the routine of sleep with relaxation before slumber.
Healthy Eating for Families
As a Nutritional Advisor I’m passionate about healthy eating, nutrition, organic produce and getting back to nature.
Food should be fun, natural and fresh. Healthy eating ensures you get all the right nutrients from your food to provide you with the best possible health and wellbeing.
Riverford is my favourite choice for fresh, organic produce. There’s a fantastic selection of organic produce including veg, fruit, meat, cheese, bread, dairy and more. There’s free delivery on all of Riverford’s fruit, veg and meat box orders. Riverford grow their own and deliver only the best fresh organic produce across the UK.
My baby is in the process of weaning and we’re having great fun experimenting with fruit and veg. It’s hugely entertaining watching the expressions she makes as she tries something new, or if my latest recipe doesn’t taste quite as she expected! One of the great joys of being a parent is helping my baby learn about good nutrition, healthy eating and living well.
