“When can baby sleep in their own room” is a question baby and child sleep specialist Gemma Coe hears often. Today she’s sharing her expertise on moving your little love into their own room.
Some parents are eager to have their room back to themselves and others not so much! It’s a big step – for you and for them – and while it might feel like a practical change, it also raises important questions about sleep safety, emotional readiness, and what’s actually right for your family. So here’s what you need to know…
What the safe sleep guidance says about when baby can sleep in their own room
The Lullaby Trust and NHS recommend that babies sleep in the same room as their parents for at least the first six months. This is based on evidence that room-sharing reduces the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Some families choose to room-share for longer, which is also completely fine – it’s about balancing safety, sleep quality, and emotional readiness.
There’s no strict cut-off, but from

If you are currently deciding what you want for your birth or simply want to find out more about the different types of birth, then you've come to the right place. Because today we’re sharing everything you need to know about caesarean sections (also called a C-sections or abdominal birth), especially compared to a vaginal birth. Particularly looking at the pros and cons of each path to help you decide whether a vaginal birth or c-section is right for you and your baby.
What is a caesarean section?
So what’s the difference technically speaking? A vaginal birth is when a baby is born through the vagina. Labour may begin spontaneously and continue until the baby is born, but in some cases labour needs to be started by induction. In comparison, a caesarean section, or C-section, is an operation to deliver your baby through a cut made in your tummy and womb. Here’s a brief summary of the differences between the two, with more detail later on.

What an exciting milestone in baby's development: crawling! At last they can expand their range of movement more quickly and independently. Crawling is baby's first important step towards independence. But when is it time? When do babies start crawling? And how can you as parents and carers encourage crawling? In today's blog article, we want to give you everything you need to know about the big milestone of crawling. What can you expect in the different phases? What different crawling styles are there? How can you support your baby? And when do you need to see your GP if it’s not happening?
Independence, here I come! When do babies start crawling?

Some children are ready at six months, while others may not start until nearer their first birthday. You can recognise from these early signs that your baby is starting to learn to crawl:

“99% risk of having Down Syndrome”. That was what the report said. I’m pretty sure there were also exclamation marks at the top and I’m pretty sure they were also in red. And the word, RISK?! Yikes. I wish they would use words more like: 99% OPPORTUNITY for having Down Syndrome! No wonder the first feelings are worry and fear!
Sure, this is not what you expected. This birth and this future might not be what you had in mind. And please, moms and dads, take the time to feel that- all of it. The grief, the pain, the panic, the questions. But can I just say, as I am 2 years in, the good comes! And it comes fast! And sometimes it's coupled with struggle, but the good is bigger!
Words matter. Tone matters. The voices of the Down Syndrome Community matter and that is why I want to start by thanking Ergobaby for asking the question- what are the “Things I Wish I Knew When I Learned My Baby Had Down Syndrome”? These sorts of conversations whether they be blogs, posts, articles, podcasts were

There are so many wonderful benefits of babywearing. From supporting baby’s natural posture to reducing infant crying to strengthening the bond between baby and their caregivers and more, using a baby carrier is a win-win for you and your baby - emotionally, cognitively and physically.
But if you’ve never used a baby carrier, everything is new and unknown. So, you might be asking yourself things like what kind of ergonomic baby carrier should you use? When can you start using a baby carrier? Is a baby carrier safe for newborns? What about baby carrier safety and hip dysplasia?
Here are the basic things you need to know about using a baby carrier.
1. You can start using a baby carrier from day one.
So, let’s start with the question: is a baby carrier safe for newborns? Yes, if it offers the correct ergonomic support. With the right carrier or wrap you can even take it with you to the hospital and use it the day your baby is born. Using it in the early days and weeks is a great way to bond

Parents’ everyday routines are busy and at times chaotic. And while children are wonderful, they can also make everyday errands into an epic event. Need to run to the store just for milk and toothpaste? Alone, you can be there and back home in 10 minutes. But with a baby, you never know how long it’ll take. You have to pack a nappy bag, put your child and their stuff in the car/stroller/carrier etc. - there’s 25 minutes right there (not including any surprise setbacks like a nappy explosion just as you’re ready to go) and you haven’t even made it into the shop. It can make any sane parent feel overwhelmed.
But life requires leaving the house some days. You have places to go and people to see; not to mention your sanity to keep. Want to know what can help you keep your sanity? A lightweight compact stroller. It can’t pack a nappy bag or put your child into their car seat, but it does add some convenience to your everyday routine. What are the benefits of lightweight compact strollers?
