Baby Wisdom
When you have a baby there is a wealth of advice proscribed; What to buy, how to look after yourself and your child and what, when and how to feed it. Yet the human race has survived for thousands of years without the benefit of nappy stackers and baby wipe warmers!

Minus Nine to One
Imagine that you are pregnant. You not only have the usual problems of morning sickness and tiredness to contend with. You became pregnant only three months after giving birth to your first child so you have a non-walking toddler which you are still breastfeeding. Your husband is a talented, driven, workaholic who often works from early morning until 1am the next morning and travels abroad regularly. Add to that the fact that your husband's celebrity status means that every time you go out you run the risk of a member of the paparazzi sticking a camera lens in your face.

The Social Baby And Toddler
Every baby is a unique individual from the moment of birth, with their own likes and dislikes, strengths and sensitivities.One baby might find bright light disturbing, another may not be troubled by light at all but might find being undressed distressing.
