Welcome

Hi and welcome!

If you are here, you are probably a mum, or about to become one. (Congratulations, by the way!)

My name is Helen. I am a mum to a gorgeous 11 month old boy, who never ceases to amaze me. This blog/website has come about as a result of the huge amount of information you get bombarded with as a mum or a mum-to-be. You get flooded with advice from people who mean well, but really just end up stressing you out or overwhelming you. The truth is, it is so hard to know exactly what you will end up doing as a parent, and what will work for your baby and for your unique family situation.

Everybody is different. Every baby is unique and different too. (Sometimes we forget they do not come from some kind of a baby factory with a leaflet of instructions.) The best advice I got when I was pregnant was from a girlfriend, who said, “Just do what you feel is right.” Everyone knows the best way. But no-one knows the best way for you and your baby.

So here we are. You have stumbled upon my site, maybe interested in hearing some of my opinions. And I am here to share my experience, my thoughts, and hopefully entertain you a little in the process.
