Breastfeeding
Whilst we all know that breastfeeding gives your baby the best start possible, you may have to stop feeding earlier than you intended, if you are planning on going back to work.
Many mothers now wish (or need in many cases) to continue working once they have had children. A lot of UK employers do give a long maternity leave, so breastfeeding baby for the requisite six months is not going to be a huge issues.
However, if you work for someone who does not give a long maternity leave – or you are US based (***) then you may find yourself back at work before you wish to wean your baby.
This is where you will find an electric breast pump a very useful piece of equipment. See the pages on this site for breastfeeding and breast pumps to give you some ideas and information on how you can best handle this important stage of you and your babies life.
(***) As I am UK based I am not totally sure of the US policy with regards to maternity leave – I am just going on what I have heard in conversations with US based friends who tell me they do not get as long as in the UK – feel free to leave a comment and I will make updates as necessary.
New Baby Ideas
Welcome to this site for New Baby Ideas. Here you will find everything you need and more, regardless of if you are a new Mum (or Dad) or if you are on number 2, 3, 4 or even higher!
Its amazing how things can change even over a short period of time and all the good things you had for baby number 1 now seem so out of date. Plus, there no longer seems such a need to hand things down to the next baby. The majority of people are lucky enough to be able to buy new for each child.
This will certainly be a living site, so please come back often to see whats new.
