Introducing solids to your baby is an exciting milestone, but it is very important to pay attention to allergens and to offer them to baby in the best way. By paying attention to these foods, you will be able to act effectively if baby is indeed allergic and adapt his diet accordingly. In this blog we will share "How do you introduce allergy foods to babies?"

What are the different allergens for babies?

There are 14 allergenic foods that you should be aware of when your baby is introduced to solid food. Among these we can find fairly basic products such as eggs, fish, shellfish, nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, etc.), celery, mustard, milk, soya, lupines (a legume), sesame and molluscs. There are also product components such as gluten (wheat, rye, barley, oats), peanuts and sulphites (food additives).

Have you noticed that all animal babies on this earth are carried by their parents? It's no wonder; the basic need for physical contact, warmth, protection and movement is the same for all little inhabitants of the earth.

This also applies to human children. Babies anatomy is designed in such a way that they adapt optimally to the hip of their parents when they are lifted up. The spread squat position of their legs enables physiological, healthy carrying, keeping your child's back in a natural position when supported in the correct, age appropriate carrier.

Carrying is the best way to transport your baby, from birth to toddlerhood. Provided you use a baby carrier that can be adapted to the growing needs of your newborn during every developmental stage.

Newborn baby carrier: What

Springtime is so much more than a transitional time between colder temperatures and long sunny beach days. It's a season of beautiful blooming flowers and new beginnings.

Apart from our window panes, which are often in particular need of thorough cleaning after a dark winter, the first rays of sunshine also highlights everything unwelcome visible in our home. Do you remember the last time you cleaned behind or under your sofa?

Just like our bodies need a regular detox, our homes need a good deep cleanse every once in a while to get rid of all the dirt, grime, and gunk that has accumulated over time. BUT how do you juggle a big household clean up job with a baby in tow?

It doesn’t always have to be a deep cleanse.

You might ask does the type of carrier fabric matter? Well yes it does.  You've probably already noticed that when browsing our baby carrier range, there are different styles/designs, colours, positions and age restrictions. But there is one point in particular that divides many opinions: the question of material.  Our babywearing advisors are often asked whether a breathable baby carrier or a soft baby carrier made of cotton is better?  Quite honestly it is difficult for us to answer this question. Both materials have their objective advantages and in the end it is the preferences, tastes, attitudes and lifestyle of parents that decide. That's why it's so important to find the right carrier for you and your family. In this blog we will give you a little help in deciding!

You’ve finally mastered milk feeds with your little one and suddenly it’s time to start complementary feeding. Happy National Weaning Week!

It can be an exciting and messy adventure, but fear not, we are here to help you navigate the weaning journey.

Perhaps you have noticed lately that your little one has started to learn how to self-regulate for themself? Your little one is probably more aware of their surroundings, can hold their head on their own and sit up unaided.

Your baby may be able to coordinate their eyes, hands and mouth so that they can look at toys or food, pick them up and possibly place them in their mouth. If so, these are signs that your baby is ready for complementary feeding. What does this mean?

Do you find yourself staring at your new baby sleeping and wondering "how much sleep does my baby need?"

Our UK sleep specialist Gemma Coe is a mum of two herself and is a certified baby and child sleep consultant. She helps families all over the world develop healthy sleep habits. Today, Gemma takes us through some advice around how much sleep your baby needs depending on their age.

Until your child reaches three years of age, in a 24 hour period, they should be spending more time asleep

Soon it will be time to get up an hour earlier. The start of daylight saving time makes us all look forward to spring and the start of summer.

The time change also means a change in your sleep rhythm and your baby's sleep routine. This can be a challenge. An hour less sleep is not just a one-off problem. While you may feel sleepy for a few days, the time change can cause your child to have trouble sleeping. That's why it's important to consciously adjust your baby's sleep rhythm to prepare your baby's sleep routine for the change.

What is circadian rhythm?

The so-called circadian rhythm or sleep-wake rhythm is responsible for this. It promotes regular waking up and that we get tired and go to sleep at a certain time. This is why it's difficult for your baby's sleep rhythm

Have you heard about our new Metro+ edition already? The Metro+ Deluxe? At first glance, you might think that the new version of our Metro+ stroller is just a different colour combination or a slightly adapted design. But: surprise, surprise - there is much more than that behind it! Of course, both compact strollers are certified by the Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V. (Campaign for Healthier Backs) and are therefore back-friendly and comfortable for both pushers and children and are newborn ready!

If you’re a mother, chances are you understand the changes we go through during pregnancy, after birth, and in the years following. It’s no surprise when you learn a fellow mum is unable to multitask or forgets the simplest things or is constantly consumed by their children’s well-being.

Want to know something amazing? It’s not just you. You’re not going crazy. Science proves it! Journalist and mother, Chelsea Conaboy, went looking for answers about the changes beyond a woman’s body during pregnancy. She wanted answers about the changes in the brain and that led her to her now viral article in Boston Globe, “Motherhood brings the most dramatic brain changes of a woman’s life.”
