To celebrate Mothers’ Day this year I interviewed three pretty terrific mums I know and got them to talk me through the good, the bad and their message for you new or soon to be mums. The message is pretty powerful - you know your baby better than anyone else, block out the noise (however well intentioned it is) and trust those instincts! I hope you enjoy these interviews as much as I did! Thank you Steph, Moana & Cassie for taking part.

Coming into winter, the ACT, SA, VIC, NSW and TAS turn their clocks backward one hour to Australian Eastern Standard Time (AEST).
Any baby can have colic. Colic most often becomes evident when a baby is 2–5 weeks old and usually eases by the time the baby is 3–4 months old.

"Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child’s soul." -Friedrich Froebel (1782-1852)
Have you ever noticed your baby sleeps more soundly when the vacuum is going or washing machine is on? Babies LOVE white (background) noise and it will become a very positive sleep association for your baby.
Now that we’re able to return to holidaying around Australia and even overseas shortly, there will be many families jumping in the car and heading off on adventures to see family, friends, or just to get away. Long car trips with babies and young children can be very daunting for parents and it’s understandable that some people want to avoid them altogether. However, long car trips don’t have to be painful - as long as you plan properly. Here are some of my favourite tips for travelling long distances with babies and children...
