Purrfect for your CARiFiT kit bag
The Omni 360 Cool Air Mesh Grey Leopard is here and we think it's great for adding a touch of flair to your CARiFiT workouts!
Keep cool with a Sweaty Betty gym vest with a dropped back hem, perfect for teaming with some statement leggings (like these 7/8 Technical Leggings from Next) and the loose fit will aid breastfeeding mums.
Look after your feet with a pair of Nike Air Max trainers, which boast a tongueless design (helping you slide them on and off with baby on board) and rubber tread to keep you safe and stable.
Throw an Under Armour zip through hoodie in the mix to stop you warming down too quickly, help baby stay snug on your way back home or just because, let's face it, who doesn't like a warm, soft hoodie?!
Track your progress with the Fitbit Charge 4 fitness tracker, showing you just how hard you've been working.
And because hard work deserves a reward, we think this Tiba + Marl holdall would make for a stylish kit bag 😉

As a new parent, working out how to dress your baby for bed can be a struggle. Will they be too hot? Will they be too cold? And in our ever unpredictable UK weather, a warm night can turn cold. Here we’re going to look at the newborn sleepwear options available to help the newest member of your family sleep better - Because if baby sleeps better, you all sleep better!
Basic Bedding & Clothing
Whether it’s a moses basket, crib or cot, you will need a well-fitted sheet for the mattress and a waterproof cover to go underneath. This will keep your mattress in the best condition for your baby to sleep on.
Wherever your baby sleeps, it is advised that you always place your baby to sleep on his or her back.
While baby sleeps, the bed should be free of soft toys and loose blankets. Even the littlest babies can wriggle around more than you think and having these items in the bed can increase the risk of their face becoming covered.

Picking the right baby carrier for your newborn and using it correctly
Lizzie Start - Carrying consultant, educator & trainer at Cake Club Sling Library & Parenting Support in Southend & Born to Carry
For new parents, faced with carrying their tiny bundle of joy in those early days of sleeplessness, adrenaline and bliss, the idea of choosing a sling can be utterly overwhelming. There are so many different options, so many choices to make, seemingly endless styles to choose between – stretchy wrap, buckle carrier, soft or structured, parent-facing, world-facing, back carry, hip carry… Where do you even begin?!
For newborns, safety is key. The most important thing to consider is how to keep your baby’s airway clear, which comes down to how they are positioned and supported in the sling. The safest position for your newborn is to be upright, rather than reclined or cradled. Their size, birthweight, length and muscle tone may need to be taken into consideration when choosing an appropriate

Striking a balance on the correct amount of sleep for your baby is a fine art, one which needs to be understood and perfected. Whilst too much daytime snoozing means your little one will not go down at bedtime, too much playtime results in an overtired baby – and everybody knows that is never good!
