welcome

It’s a cliché, but it definitely feels as though time is passing faster than ever. How is it 2015 already?! Time to start acting on those New Year Resolutions… or perhaps they can wait for another week. Our little ones won’t wait a week however (ours struggle to wait a minute, truth be told), so they still need plenty of entertaining – and we hope this edition will help!

Contents What’s New?

Postnatal Pilates

As ever, the Daily Activity Planner (p.30-45) is packed full of hundreds of groups and classes, and there are plenty of vouchers in our Special Offers section (centre pages) that will let you try them out for free. We’ve also crammed in loads of great articles that we hope you will like – from advice on postnatal exercise and children’s sleep issues to babywearing and great children’s books. Enjoy!

PILATES

The Perfect Way to Regain Your Pre-Baby Fitness?

Pilates is a fantastic way to exercise both antenatally and postnatally. It is an ideal way to introduce exercise back into your weekly routine, from six weeks after a normal delivery or twelve weeks after a c-section. It is a gentle way to build strength, treat common birth issues and, for some, to build up to more dynamic sports.

the core muscles, including your abdominals, gluteals and pelvic floor muscles – perfect for a mother whose body is recovering from pregnancy and birth.

What is Pilates?

Women who are experiencing specific complaints such as pelvic girdle pain, diastasis recti (separation of the tummy muscles) or continence issues can exercise safely using Pilates under the guidance of an experienced physiotherapist. Core stability exercises are particularly eﬀective in treating these common conditions.

How It Helps

Whether you are overcoming a particular issue or happily free of niggles, following the Pilates approach will improve your general physical condition to help tackle new demands with a young baby, such as more lifting and prolonged forward-flexed postures - your upper back will thank you for a wonderful stretch and relaxation to decrease muscle tension!

Pilates is a series of exercises focused on engaging core muscles and encouraging good posture. All movements are performed at a gentle, steady rate and with a flowing movement pattern. In addition, warm-up and cool-down exercises improve joint mobility, soft-tissue flexibility, balance and coordination. Practising Pilates has a wide range of benefits. The main mat-work exercises incorporate coordinated movements designed to strengthen and condition

e of child psychology Lessons from the front lin

By Dr Helen Andrews, Clinical Psychologist

So it is perhaps not surprising that many children struggle at bedtime - but what should parents do? I advise parents to think about the daytime before we look at bedtimes. It’s not that children want our attention, it’s that they need it. I ask parents to establish a regular time each day when they sit and play with their child for ten minutes. There should be no interruptions, ideally when baby is asleep. This reassures the child that they are still there for them. If children know they are going to get this time every day, they feel less anxious at other times and are less likely to feel insecure. I also recommend involving the child in helping to look after the baby wherever possible, but in a fun way, not with responsibilities.

New Baby, New Challenges It’s curious how I often get a cluster of families coming to my clinic at about the same time who are experiencing similar diﬃculties. In the last couple of months I have seen several parents who have had a new baby and are struggling with how this aﬀects their older child – particularly in relation to sleep issues. All have found that bedtime settling routines have become much longer and at times very demanding. At the point of the parent leaving the room, some children have become very teary and clingy, others very cross and destructive. Typically in situations like these, the older child is displaying anxiety around the changes that come along with a new baby. Not only do they have a new person to get to know and incorporate into their family, but there are changes in their parents too. Both parents are likely to be tired and a little more on edge than usual, whilst they adjust to having more demands placed on them, and they will naturally have less time for their older child than before.

Jan-Mar 2015 Toddle About

The

Once the child is reassured that their parents are still available to them, and they accept the baby into the family, then we can think about bedtimes. I don’t mind whether parents want a family bed or the child in their own room; a 15-minute bedtime routine or a 90-minute routine. What I want is for the parent to feel happy and confident with their choice. I suggest a clear ‘getting ready for bed’ routine, a chat, a story, a kiss and ‘goodnight’. The expectation is then that the child stays in their room. If they leave, then they should be calmly and silently taken back – maybe many times initially. Usually just a few days of this is suﬃcient for them to get the message. As diﬃcult as it can be, it is really important to be consistent. Hopefully the result is a happy, rested child, secure in their relationship with all of their family members, but if anyone needs extra support with issues like this, they can speak to their GP, health visitor, children’s centre or a specialist. Dr Helen Andrews is a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years experience working with children and young people. Through her business, Family Matters in Warwickshire, she helps parents when they can see that their child is struggling with their emotions, behaviour or development. Family Matters supports prospective parents through the final stages of pregnancy, new parents struggling with the challenges of infancy and toddlerhood and more experienced parents too.

WHY WE HAVE CHOSEN

Children with Cancer UK

In the UK, cancer is the most common cause of death in children aged 1 – 14 years – accounting for about 20% of deaths in this age group. Children’s cancers are diﬀerent to adult and even teenage cancers. Most cancer research is done on adult cancers, which means research into children’s cancers is progressing much slower.

FIGHTING

Childhood Cancer

One of our New Year resolutions for 2015 was to partner Toddle About with a children’s charity to help raise awareness and some much needed funds for a good cause. And after a lot of thought and consideration, we are pleased to announce that we will be supporting Children with Cancer UK.

The incidence of children’s cancer is increasing: 1,600 children aged 1 – 14 years are diagnosed with cancer every year. That’s 4 or 5 every day. The main treatments that are effective against cancer, such as radiotherapy and chemotherapy, are particularly harmful to children. Even if the cancer is successfully treated, the child may go on to suffer for the rest of their lives. Different treatments for children need to be developed. Children with Cancer UK dedicates all its resources specifically to children’s cancers – researching them to find cures and supporting families that are affected. More research needs to be done. We want to help make that happen.

Throughout the year, we will be thinking up some fun ways to raise some money for Children with Cancer UK – so watch this space! For starters, we hope you will enter our special charity competition below.

ENTER OUR CHARITY PRIZE DRAW

THE BABYMOOV TOUCH SCREEN BABY MONITOR

We would love it if you would join us in donating to Children with Cancer UK. Toddle About has over 45,000 readers so if everyone donated just £1, that would make a HUGE diﬀerence.

To make the giving a little more fun, we’d like to give you the chance to win a Babymoov Touch Screen Baby Monitor, worth £159.99!

If you donate £1 to Children with Cancer UK, we will enter you into our prize draw to win this fab prize. You can enter as many times as you want, so if you donate £5, say, you will be entered 5 times. We hope you will enter – it’s MUCH better odds than the National Lottery!

The farm setting itself feels idyllic – situated down the country roads, it has its own pond and stables with plenty of animals for the children to enjoy. The children are encouraged to feed the animals in the morning and evening, and this quickly becomes an indispensible part of the day – it’s also a lovely chance to get to know the other guests. There are plenty of other things to enjoy on site too, from the play barn and games room, to craft activities and quiz trails.

Following a recommendation from one of our readers, Kerry Shephard, we recently went for a family holiday at North Hayne Farm Cottages in North Devon. Put quite simply, we LOVED it. If you are looking for a lovely family getaway in the UK, then book yourself in – you won’t regret it.

shop delivered before you arrive and they will receive and unpack it for you; they welcome you with delicious cream teas; they will provide anything from high chairs and cots to booster seats and stair gates for your children; even the curtains in the children’s rooms have black-out lining so they sleep well. But it’s more than that too. It’s hard to describe, but all the other guests at the farm agreed that they have something special here. For my part, I think it boils down to the fact that Cheryl and Roger genuinely care: they are the special something that made our holiday so wonderful. Unlike any other holiday we have been on, they are part of the experience. The children are now begging us to return – but they don’t want to go back to North Hayne Farm Cottages, they want to go to Cheryl and Roger’s. And that speaks volumes to me.

North Hayne Farm Cottages take bookings all year round, and host special activities for events such as Christmas, Easter and Halloween. 7 night breaks start from £354, 3 or 4 night breaks from £248.

Hermelin the Detective Mouse

BY NICK SHARRATT & PIPPA GOODHART

This is a simple, but fantastic book. Each double page asks the reader a question, such as, “If you could go anywhere, where would you go?” and “What kind of home would you choose?” Then it gives dozens of pictures that your child can choose from. It’s a wonderfully interactive way for children to learn about the world around them and the different things that are out there - and our children loved it.

When we drew up this list, it didn’t surprise me – it includes many of my favourites and, I’m sure, many of yours too. What really caught my interest however wasn’t the Top 10, it was the other end of the list - the titles that I’d never heard of, that only one person was recommending. They peaked my interest… so I bought a few of them! Below are my 3 favourites from the ‘bottom’ of the list:

BY JONATHAN CAPE

Hermelin is a delightful story about helping others, writing notes, and finding friendship. I suppose it’s also about judging people (or mice) as individuals, and not on preconceived stereotypes. It’s also a jolly good yarn – a fun introduction to the mystery genre for toddlers! Our children really got into this book and had fun guessing the answer to each mystery before Hermelin revealed the answer.

Who’s In The Loo BY JEANNE WILLIS & ADRIAN REYNOLDS

This story made me smile. Whilst waiting in the queue for the toilet, two children imagine who on Earth it could be that is taking so long. The book introduces the reader a variety of animals (educational) doing a variety of things in the toilet (funny) until they finally find out who is in the loo… But I won’t spoil the ending for you – you’ll have to find out for yourself!

Controversy Corner

Are PushChairs Harming our Babies?

By Aloma Chandiram

Near the top of any new parent’s ‘To Buy’ list is a pushchair. It’s an essential, must-have purchase and we regularly spend hundreds of pounds when we buy them. So it might come as a surprise that there are a growing number of people for whom a buggy is considered not just a non-essential item, but also a danger to our children’s healthy development. We invited Aloma Chandiram, a Babywearing Consultant, to share why she believes we should be scratching the pushchair oﬀ our lists...

Do you like a cuddle? That closeness, the smell of the person you love - feeling them warm and comforting against you? Babywearing is the practice of carrying your baby in a sling, wrapped closely to your body, and it has many benefits - having long, gorgeous cuddles with my baby is one reason I’m a big advocate.

quite a bumpy and unsettling ride! Neither of us were enjoying the experience and she was so far away from me that I didn’t feel the connection that I had hoped for. We persisted, but half of our walks entailed her screaming so much that she ended up in my arms as I pushed an empty pushchair home.

Babywearing isn’t a new thing - it started thousands of years ago. Back when life was a little harder, and having a healthy birth was more of a distraction from the daily routine of surviving than a life changing moment, mothers would strap their baby to their bodies and get on with their daily lives.

The decision to buy a pre-loved high street baby carrier was a logical progression for me. And what a reckoning moment it was - my fractious, clingy baby was settled; sleeping and content for hours. It wasn’t the most comfortable for me and later in my babywearing journey I found more suitable options, but the price tag on this compared to my pushchair was vastly cheaper and the eﬀects on my child were, well, priceless.

But that was a long time ago and somewhere along the way to this modern era, the use of slings just ... disappeared, to be replaced by that staple of modern baby equipment: the pushchair. And they come in so many forms! Parent-facing, forward-facing, all terrain, travel system, infant seat, carry cot - the buying decision can be quite an experience. When we were expecting our first child, my husband and I bought what seemed like the most popular (and hence, we thought, the best) pushchair. I was so excited! We set it all up before our daughter arrived and I kept dreaming about pushing my gorgeous newborn around the neighbourhood and shops. When she arrived, I put her into the carrycot and oﬀ we set for our first walk. She was just a day or so old, and she was rolled from side to side - it seemed like

There are many people who believe or worry that holding their baby close in a carrier or sling for a long time will cause them to be overly clingy. I would argue that clinginess comes and goes with all children and there’s nothing wrong with bringing your baby close and letting them know that their carer is there to protect and feed them – but I certainly wouldn’t object to people questioning my beliefs. It’s natural to question something like babywearing because it’s diﬀerent from the norm - but we rarely stop to question whether using a buggy is the right thing to do because it is such an ingrained part of our parenting culture. But it is a question that many infant and child specialists have been asking for some time, and their conclusions certainly make interesting reading!

icon tells you which advertisers have a voucher in the centre pages

Dr. M. Suzanne Zeedyk carried out research in collaboration with the National Literacy Trust on the impact of buggy orientation on parent-infant interaction and infant stress (Nov. 2008). Her findings led her to conclude that for a baby, the experience of being in a buggy was “more isolated than many adults realise – and may be more emotionally impoverished than is good for children’s development”. In particular, she was concerned with the lack of interaction between baby and parent caused by away-facing buggies, “which produced the highest rate of parent and child silence”. She suggested that this could have a negative impact on the child’s speech and vocabulary development, and that not being able to see their parents’ facial and body signals whilst out and about might inhibit their social and emotional understanding of the world around them. Elizabeth Antunovic wrote a thorough and wellresearched analysis of the arguments surrounding strollers, baby carriers and infant stress. She sites evidence that suggests babies have naturally adapted to being carried upright and oriented towards their mothers, and that lying flat on their back or sat up in car seats and strollers is restrictive to their movement and bad for their spinal development. She advocates the use of baby carriers, but stresses the importance of leg support and baby facing the mother. Dr Sean Brotherson, Family Science Specialist, wrote the paper “Keys to enhancing brain development in young children” (2005). He endorses the importance of being close to your child: “Touch is a fundamental and important source of security to a child. If you deprive an infant of touch, the body and brain will stop growing in a healthy manner. Physical stroking helps premature babies gain weight more quickly and helps healthy babies digest food better. Babies cry less when they are held and carried regularly. Touch is an infant’s life line to security, attachment and reassurance.”

As well as the benefits to your baby, babywearing oﬀers many conveniences! As a mum of two children at 3 and 1 years old here some of my top benefits:

No Hands! Babywearing is ‘hands free’ - when our

second child came along, I could not be more thankful for this gift. It made me feel like wonderwoman, making my newborn feel content whilst happily holding hands and playing with my active toddler.

Family cuddles. Babywearing gives dads, grandparents and everyone else the chance to enjoy some long and lovely cuddles with your baby and to develop a strong bond with the new addition to the family. It’s convenient. No more bruised knees from

lugging that car seat around – and your wrap takes up less space too when it isn’t needed.

Breastfeeding. Having your baby so close

allows you to feed on demand, which helps with initial milk supply.

Exercise/Physiology. Babywearing helps work out your core muscles without putting unnecessary strain on them! Communication. Being so close I can listen to my baby and see their cues quicker than if they were in a pushchair. We can talk away happily and view the world together as we walk along. Its fun! It really is. Sharing a giggle, or listening to your toddler singing away in your ear whilst on your back is a joy.

They are economical. OK, there are some wraps and carriers out there that can be pretty pricey but, overall, slings are very economical and very modestly priced compared to pushchairs.

Yes, it is safe - very safe in fact. Follow the The T.I.C.K.S. Rule for Safe Babywearing Safety. T.I.C.K.S guidelines you’re your baby will be safe and Keep your baby close and keep your baby safe. When you’re wearing a sling or carrier, don’t forget the T.I.C.K.S.

TIGHT IN VIEW AT ALL TIMES CLOSE ENOUGH TO KISS KEEP CHIN OFF THE CHEST SUPPORTED BACK

comfortable: Tight, In view at all times, Close enough to Kiss, Keep chin oﬀ the chest, Supported back. There are lots of options out there if you want to start wearing your baby. It can be a little overwhelming at first, so check out your nearest qualified babywearing consultant or sling library and they will be able to advise which will be the right one for you. Find them at www.slingpages.co.uk.

Aloma Chandiram is a Slingababy qualified and BABI registered babycarrying Consultant and has been babywearing herself for over 3 years. She holds regular workshops, private consultations and fortnightly sling library sessions in South Oxfordshire. Find out more at www.the-green-bean.co.uk or email info@the-green-bean.co.uk.

The eRedbook

Baby’s Red Book Joins The Digital Age

When your baby is born, you – and all new parents across the UK – are given a Red Book. You use it to record your baby’s growth and development and to learn about what to expect as new parents. Now the Red Book is being brought into the 21st Century – in the form of the eRedbook. The eRedbook allows you to record your baby’s information in an online, digital version of the traditional health record. Just like the paper version it is kept and updated by the parent and data can also be added by health professionals with permission. It can be used on smart phones, tablets, and laptops through an internet connection. South Warwickshire Foundation Trust (SWFT) is taking part in the national pilot scheme to test the eRedbook and need as many new parents across Warwickshire as possible to create an account, use it and share their feedback. Their thoughts will help to design future versions of the product and will

ensure that the eRedbook becomes as useful as it can be for parents and their children. There are currently over 1,000 families updating an eRedbook in Warwickshire and in Liverpool and those who are trying it are impressed with it so far. You can create your own eRedbook to try it for yourself by visiting www.eredbook.org.uk/warwickshire where there is a short video featuring a family from Rugby using the eRedbook themselves. It costs nothing to take part and this is NOT a commercial product so no advertising is used and no one, except the eRedbook team for collecting feedback, will be in contact with you.

www.eredbook.org.uk/warwickshire

For further information, please contact the Project Manager of the eRedbook pilot project, Helen McGowan on helen.mcgowan@swft.nhs.uk or 07930 543 938.

Bringing your newborn home is an exciting time, filled with joy & happiness. Undoubtedly you may have some concerns, one being how to settle your baby to sleep during the day or night.

IS YOUR FAMILY GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP? Without good quality sleep as adults, we very quickly feel the eﬀects of sleep deprivation, such as exhaustion, poor judgement, ill health and the feeling of not being able to cope. Sleep is also essential for a baby’s cognitive and physical development. Without the right amount of rest, your baby may become irritable, fretful and diﬃcult to feed. As a result, family relationships can become frayed, which adds even more stress to the situation.

‘A good night’s sleep makes for a happy family’

so you need to be in it for the long haul if needs be – and you will need to support each other through the tough times. It is a challenge, but it’s worth it! The good news is, once the right sleep plan is in place, your baby will reap the benefits of sleep... and so will you. Their mood and behaviour will quickly change, lifting the spirit of the whole family.

TIPS TO ESTABLISHING GOOD SLEEPING PATTERNS: 4 PROVEN

Sleep problems can arise for many reasons. They could be due to poor health or bad sleep associations - or simply because your child has never learnt how to self-settle.

1. KEEP IT CALM. Bedtime should be calm, lasting no more than half an hour. Toys in the cot / bed should be kept to a minimum.

Thankfully, there are many resources out there to help new parents find a sleep plan that may work for them. The downside is, after many hours of research, you are on your own. You will still be tired, and probably won’t be feeling confident about implementing the new routine. Feeling uncomfortable with the chosen technique often leads to parents not being consistent, which will lead to failure.

(with a blackout blind in summer) and maintain the correct room temperature (16 – 20°C, ideally 18°C).

All children are unique, so the sleep training technique that you use to teach your child to self-settle, and learn to love sleep, needs to be tailored. All caregivers need to be on the same page, or your child will become confused. Sleep training isn’t a quick fix,

2. PROVIDE A GOOD SLEEPING ENVIRONMENT. Use low lighting 3. LEARN YOUR BABY’S SLEEP SIGNALS. These could include losing interest in toys & people, yawning, rubbing eyes or playing with their ears. Putting your baby to sleep when they are tired and ready to sleep just makes sense – knowing their sleep signals is key to achieving this. 4. IMPLEMENT A GOOD FEEDING & NAP ROUTINE DURING THE DAY. Do not fall into the trap of thinking that less sleep in the day will lead to your baby sleeping more at night. This is a myth – the opposite is in fact true!
