Today's top tip

Easily entertained

 

Give your baby a roll of toilet paper to play with while you're on the phone or if you just need a few minutes calm. It will make a bit of a mess but keep him busy for ages. Just make sure he doesn't put any paper in his mouth.

Reuse and recycle and save!

Colic Baby

 

If your baby has severe colic and is crying all the time the best advice is to get Donnatel syrup. You need a script for this medication. You mix 3ml donnatel and 2ml gripe water in a syringe and watch the difference in your baby. Its like magic and it makes your baby sleep peacefully and just make them happier children.PRESCRIBING INFORMATION IS A NO

Don’t be restricted by hideous maternity clothes

 

Buy what you want to wear from your favourite store. All you have to remember is to choose pants and skirts with an elastic waist, and ensure clothes have room for breast and tummy growth! You can be as stylish as you always are.
