News from the babyworld shop team
Happy feet = Crocs and it would seem that word is spreading! Whether you’re pregnant and you’re fed up with wearing uncomfy shoes; a mummy with funk but haring after a toddler all day; or a nipper with more fashion-sense than most, step out in style.
Crocs are proving a real winner with the everyone and the smallest
size is about to get even smaller - a UK kids 5/6. So pair them
up with a sun
protection suit for the beach, a daysack
for gadding about town or a lightweight
buggy when a rest is required and continue having a fabulous summer!

FORUM OF THE MONTH
Our homebirth forum is moderated by Lonnie Fletcher, a fantastically committed and knowledgeable moderator who has had two homebirths herself. Lonnie, mum of four, somehow finds time to moderate three bw forums!
She is passionate about homebirth and says, " I moderate homebirth because I believe that people should have support to get the sort of birth they want and far to often that doesn't happen. And I like showing them how to be assertive and where they can get the facts to stand strong against the people who are supposedly meant to be helping them but are not in fact doing so."
