Clarks Baby Shoes

| October 6, 2012

Ida Chic in Raspberry Leather

I was brought up in Clarks children’s shoes so I have a special place in my heart for them.

I loved my Clarks Black Patent Leather Party Shoes. And Clarks still make them, all of these years later.

Oh what fun I can have buying shoes for my baby girl!

Imogen’s first pair of Clarks shoes were from their Pre-Walking Baby Shoe Range.

We bought her a pair of pre-walking shoes as soon as she started taking her first steps. We chose the Ida Chic in Raspberry which were a beautiful choice as the colour goes with everything and they look great worn with dresses or trousers.

We found these shoes were really helpful in helping her to cruise the furniture and for out and about when she’d done enough crawling and wanted to stand and take a few steps. Having more stability with these shoes helped to provide the confidence to take further steps. And within a few weeks she was walking by herself!

I found Clarks Pre-Walking Baby Shoes were perfect for at the park, to keep feet warm in cooler weather and to complete an outfit.

Best Baby Walker

| March 9, 2012

As your baby grows their muscles strengthen and coordination develops which will lead to crawling.

From crawling your baby will start to pull themselves up on to furniture to a standing position.

The next stage is to cruise the furniture, walking around and holding on to things that allow baby to achieve the balance that is still required before they can walk alone.

Baby walkers can be used when babies are learning to walk to help with their mobility and to provide the support they need to take their first steps.

The best baby walker is the VTech First Steps Baby Walkerwhich gives your baby the support they need to take their first steps.

Key features of the VTech First Steps Baby Walkerare textured wheels, easy grip handles for your baby to hold onto when walking and a sturdy frame.

The VTech First Steps Baby Walkerincorporates a detachable learning centre full of activities with shapes, musical keys that light up and introduce letters, words, numbers, animals, colours, songs and melodies. The learning centre also features a moving butterfly, discs and rollers to develop manipulative skills. And if your baby is like mine, they’ll love the role-play phone (which will hopefully keep your phone free from dribble)!

The VTech First Steps Baby Walkercan be stored in small spaces and is easily assembled.

Your baby will have plenty of fun and play time with the VTech First Steps Baby Walkerwhich is suitable from 6 – 30 months.

The Best Baby Carrier

| February 11, 2012

best baby carrierI 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!

In the early days our BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrierallowed me to leave the house when our baby was still too young for a pram (newborns love to be snuggled close to Mummy or Daddy for comfort, warmth and the reassuring smell of their parents).

We bought the BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrierwhen I was still pregnant, in anticipation of our newborn baby and being able to go out and about for walks with her.

We used the BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrierdaily in the first few months, often going out more than once a day when we wanted some fresh air, or I craved a caffeine fix or my baby needed a sleep during the day.

We absolutely made the right choice with this baby carrier the BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrieris invaluable.

A gentle rocking motion is created when you walk your baby in the BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrierwhich will help to soothe your baby to sleep. I found taking my baby out in the baby carrier was one of the best ways to guarantee my baby would sleep during the day.

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!

The BabyBjorn Active Baby Carrieris extremely comfortable to wear with your baby in as the design provides extra lower back support.

The Baby Bjorn Active Baby Carrier is Paediatritian recommended and guaranteed free from harmful substances (Oeko-tex class 1 for babies certified).
