The Marco
Sky L twin buggy will be with us on Friday, so it's you're
last chance to take advantage of the special pre-order price, and
if you've already ordered, you can expect delivery for Monday or
Tuesday next week! With an extra two inches of legroom for the baby
at the back, it's a real winner when you need a compact buggy for
two. It's also the season for summer fun and holidays and we've
got lots of new products
for going away that will help you travel light, stop
the mozzies from biting and keep the sun off your baby's delicate
skin. As always, if you need any help or advice, just give Brenda
a call in Customer Service 01491 821877 - or if you're near Wallingford,
Oxfordshire come and pay us a visit.
Babyworld has discovered a useful new holiday service. No longer
do you have to stuff your overloaded suitcases with packs of nappies,
jars of babyfood and tins of formula milk. You just order your favourite
brands in advance from Tiny
Traveller and it will all be at your villa/hotel/campsite/apartment
to coincide with your arrival. Why didn't someone think of that
before?

 Travel
essentials for mums-to-be
Whether you're visiting seaside resorts or experiencing more tropical
climates, travelling when you're pregnant takes some extra planning
and care. Whether you are planning a journey for business or pleasure,
read on to find out what you need to do before, during and after
your trip.
Epidural
to go?
In the 70s the traditional epidural was hailed as a brilliant form
of pain relief for childbirth. However, it soon became a dirty word
in labour wards as it very often led to a catalogue of medical intervention
and side-effects. The arrival of the 'mobile epidural' has virtually
eradicated the post-epidural headache, leaves feeling in the legs
allowing mums to walk around and push effectively.
We're
off to Disneyland, Center Parcs and Legoland!
Visiting one of the Disney theme parks, Legoland and Centerparcs
is nearly a rite of passage for every family these days. To help
you avoid the pitfalls babyworld parents give you the benefit of
their hindsight with these tips and advice.
Birth
abroad
Community midwife, Elizabeth Way-Rider, visited a 'birth house'
in Germany and discovered a natural holistic approach to childbirth
that leads to very little medical intervention.
Baby
showers
No, it's not a party in the rain but a new-ish phenomena from the
US. We take a look at what they are, who to invite and what on earth
they involve!
Babies
get heartburn too...
Gastro-oesophageal reflux, or heartburn, is a painful and distressing
condition for babies. It can leave families exhausted from the crying
and wondering if the vomiting will ever stop. Here are the signs
to watch for and ways to cope.

Get snapping and email us your baby enjoying the good weather (or
bad) being silly, naughty, funny or simply too cute for words!

you help with some research?

 On
test: Lightweight buggies
In the first of our new-style of product tests we take a look at
lightweight buggies. All the buggies have been tested by each of
our 6-mum Parent Panel. They each have different lifestyles and
requirements and as a result, we've got some interesting reviews
on what works and what doesn't. Better still, if you agree or disagree
with their views you can tell others what you think by writing a
'member review'.
