Help With Breastfeeding
Breastfeeding isn’t easy, but it’s so worth it if you are able to. In the beginning it takes perseverance, practice and the knowledge of how to breastfeed to get it right. But even then, it doesn’t always go to plan.
I found invaluable support from fellow breastfeeding mothers, midwives and La Leche League.
If you want help with breastfeeding contact La Leche League.

If you’re like me, being a first time parent is an exciting yet daunting time! There is so much you don’t know and not having any experience as a parent I found it incredibly helpful to read First Time Parent
This book is an informative, easy guide for everything you need to know about parenting and babies.
It covers topics from preparation for your new baby, to changing a nappies, eating, sleeping, childcare options and going back to work. A must read!
Jackson Reece Baby Wipes
There’s no comparison if you want wipes that are gentle on your baby’s skin and can be used on the delicate areas of both the bottom and the face, very necessary once you start weaning your baby!
Having tried numerous other brands I recommend Jackson Reece Baby Wipes for delicate and sensitive skin. They’re free from parabens, alcohol, lanolin, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) and many other harsh chemicals.
Suitable from birth, these wipes help to prevent nappy rash by not aggravating the skin with unnecessary chemicals.
Jackson Reece Baby Wipes have won many awards and have just achieved the Best Baby Wipes Award by the Practical Parenting & Pregnancy Awards 2011 / 2012.
Jackson Reece Baby Wipes are mild and gentle cleansing wipes, made from a unique balm to soothe and protect baby’s delicate skin using natural ingredients of aloe vera, tea tree oil, lavender essential oil and purified water.
