The reason for setting up this blog is that, as a Maternity Nurse with four adult children of my own and years of experience of looking after newborn babies and their parents, I have a whole host of knowledge worth sharing with new parents.
A first child is a daunting experience. Thanks to the internet, so much more knowledge is available, but navigating your way towards the trustworthy info is not easy, particularly when many sites are only interested in generating sales and not about what is best for your child.
I am daily flabbergasted by the amount of trivial and unnecessary paraphernalia that the poor first time parents are talked into buying; particularly when it comes to expensive equipment such as prams, which are clearly designed by people who have little or no experience of what it is to manage a baby and their lifestyles day by day.
Another thing.... how do baby clothes designers get away with putting press-studs down the back of a baby's clothes, when we all know that babies have to lie on their backs most of the time?
Then there is the question of being environmentally friendly. For example, large nappy dispensers have yards of unnecessary plastic when you empty the bin. Whatever happened to recycling the supermarket bags for all the daily pee nappies and the small nappy sacks for the pooey ones?
So, here is a start and hopefully I will be able to give some qualified hints and practical advice to all the parents who are baffled by the amount of choices they are having to make!
