Bargain Alert! 40% off Bio-Oil

I was shopping for something totally different when my beady little eyes spotted that Amazon have a chunky 40% off Bio-Oil, the very popular, all natural stretch mark formula, that also improves the elasticity of your skin to reduce the possibility of more stretch marks forming. It contains vitamins A and E, calendula, lavender, rosemary, [...]

Oversized Mum Bag Alert – Quilted Tote Bag by Marc B

I admit that I am partial to a designer handbag but the fact that I 1) work from home, 2) don’t have the hectic social life that I used to, and 3) don’t use enough of the bags that I own means that along with the shoe habit, I don’t have a handbag habit anymore [...]

Baby product highlights from The Apprentice at The Baby Show

Catherine Tough

Although I’m really hoping for a home birth, I’m packing the dreaded hospital bag just in case. It’s all been fairly straightforward, apart from one item that crops up on all the lists. I’m told your feet can get chilly in labour so a pair of warm socks is a must. Not being a sock [...]

Review: Formfix Pillow

As a scarily nearly mum-to-be, sleep (and Montezuma’s Orangutang chocolate) are paramount on my list of priorities. But the burgeoning bump seems to disagree and many nights have been spent tossing and turning in search of a comfortable position. Having tried several traditional maternity pillows to no avail I decided to take my quest off [...]

Mamascarf the Breastfeeding Scarf

When I breastfed the bambino, I became a dab hand at keeping my boobs shielded by using either muslins or her blankets. Of course your baby can still end up moving around which is why there are an increasing number of breastfeeding covers coming onto the market. The Mamascarf was designed by a mum who [...]
