 Interview
with Patsy Palmer
If your baby or toddler is driving you round the bend, the latest
parenting programme may give you some reassurance, if not the solution
to your particular problem! We spoke to Patsy Palmer, Baby Squad's
presenter, to see how her programme differs from all the other parenting
shows around.
A
single dad in Florida
Holidays are great aren't they? Well, that's the theory, but in
reality a holiday with children can be highly stressful, especially
if you're a single parent with sole responsibility. Being in exactly
that position himself, Theo Theobald decided last year to take his
two kids to Florida for a fortnight; here's some of what he learned
on the way.
 Labour
howlers
Most of us do or say something cringe-worthy in labour - here are
some of your best clangers! Shame on you!
Reflexology
for pregnancy
Are you feeling tired, uncomfortable, or nauseous? You may be surprised
to know that an ancient form of healing called reflexology can actually
help treat many common pregnancy ailments - and even help you during
delivery.
 To
pierce or not to pierce
The Beckham's chose to have their son's ears pierced when he was
three. Some parents have it done a lot earlier but is it fair to
make the decision on behalf of your child? We look at the issues
and explain the care involved if you do have your baby's ears pierced.
Have a
rant
Amber Vara is exasperated at the government's double standards over
its 'Breastfeeding is best' campaign. "Why is there is no consistent
support and advice for new mums to achieve their ideals?" she rants.
There's a chance for you to have your say too!
 Pregnancy
products I love
We've been busy road-testing the best bump-supporting, body-boosting
pregnancy products on the market. Our panel of mums to be have tried
a range of products - from supportive maternity belts ('it changed
my life') to relaxing foot spas ('a hit with the whole family),
sleepy tea ('works a treat!') and special anti-nausea lollipops
('I've got my appetite back').
Stay
at home dads
What keeps stay-at-home dads awake at night (apart from baby!)?
We ask three fathers to talk about their main concerns while psychologist
Dr Pat Spungin shares her expert advice...
"My
baby had his first chemo at 3 weeks old"
As a newborn George had to face some very grown-up treatment to
battle eye cancer. Read his amazing story....

Testing,
testing!
 Confused
about car seats, swimming in a sea of information about swim nappies?!
We have been busy making your life simple by rounding up the best
brands around and getting them tested by a group of mums. Each product
is put through between 4 and 6 different mums and their babies testing
it. That means the feedback comes from real experience of the products.
