After the storm comes a rainbow - but the storm is never forgotten.
Today is Rainbow Baby Day, a day to honour the babies born after loss and the deep, complex journey that brings them here.
It’s also a day to hold space for every parent whose rainbow isn’t here yet, whose arms remain empty, or whose heart has chosen a different path.
For those holding their rainbows.
For those waiting.
For those carrying them now.
For those trying again.
For those facing infertility.
For those not ready.
For those who may never try again.
We see you and we stand with you.

Who’s delivery your baby?!

Do you have a little one starting school this September?

Do they struggle to get their shoes on the correct feet?!

If so, this parent hack is for you.

Cut a sticker in half and stick one half in each shoe so that when they put the sticker together the shoes will be the correct way around.

TAG a parent who has a school starter this September who may find this helpful!

Hormones are chemicals produced by different glands across your body. They travel through the bloodstream, acting as messengers and playing a part in many bodily processes.

One of these important functions is helping to regulate your mood.

Certain hormones are known to help promote positive feelings, including happiness and pleasure and these are some very simple ways we can help our bodies to produce them!

Sleep deprivation is no joke. There’s a reason it’s used as a form of torture.

If you’re struggling. You’re not alone. Sleep deprivation with a new baby is real (and brutal) - but there are ways to cope

Nap/rest when you can (the washing can wait).
Share night shifts with a partner.
Sacrifice evening Netflix time once in a while to catch up on sleep.
Safe co-sleeping can help you rest more.
Fuel your body - hydrate & eat balanced meals (not just coffee + biscuits!).
Fresh air & gentle movement gives an instant energy boost.
Mindfulness, breathing, or even 5 mins of calm can reset your nervous system.
Be kind to yourself - this phase will pass.

Extra tips:
Put your phone down before bed (blue light messes with sleep).
Create a calming bedtime ritual for you, not just baby.
Keep a notebook by the bed - jotting worries down can stop that 3am spiral.

You’ve got this. One day at a time.

It will get better. You will sleep again. We promise.

Did you know eye colour isn’t as simple as looking at a chart? In fact, scientists believe 11 different genes play a role in determining the colour of your eyes!
While parents’ eye colours can give some clues, genetics love to surprise us - meaning your baby’s eye colour might be totally unexpected!
Was our eye colour predictor right for your little one? Drop a comment and let us know!
TAG a mum or dad-to-be so they can join the fun and guess their baby’s eye colour.
SAVE this post if you’re expecting - and check back later to see if the chart got it right!

Scarlet Fever is very infectious and can easily be spread to other people so if you think your child might have scarlet fever please keep them off school or nursery.
It's usually easily treated with antibiotics but as always, if you are concerned about your child, please trust your instincts and get advice from a medical professional as soon as possible if you feel your child is becoming more unwell.
If they are displaying the following symptoms please get medical advice as quickly as possible:
Fever
Severe muscle aches
Localised muscle tenderness
Redness at the site of a wound
Unexplained vomiting or diarrhoea
SAVE this post so you can refer back to it and TAG your parent friends so they know what to look out for.

A normal temperature in babies and children is about 36.4C, but this can vary slightly. A fever is usually considered to be a temperature of 38C or above.

Your baby may have a high temperature if they:

- feel hotter than usual to touch on their forehead, back or stomach
- feel sweaty or clammy
- have flushed cheeks

If you think your baby has a temperature, it's best to check with a thermometer.

Ideally, you need a digital under arm thermometer to get a fast, accurate reading.

You can buy these online or from pharmacies and most large supermarkets.

To take your child's temperature:

- Hold them comfortably on your knee and put the thermometer in their armpit – always use the thermometer in the armpit with children under 5 years to get the most accurate reading.

- Gently, but firmly, hold their arm against their body to keep the thermometer in place for however long it says in the manufacturer's instructions – usually about 15 seconds.

- The display on the thermometer will then show your child's temperature.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully, you should get an accurate reading.

There are a few things that can slightly alter the reading – if your child has been:

- wrapped up tightly in a blanket
- in a very warm room
- very active
- cuddling a hot water bottle
- wearing a lot of clothes
- having a bath

If so, allow them to cool down for a few minutes, but do not let them get cold or shivery, then take their temperature again to see if there's any change.
