I am breastfeeding far more successfully than with my first daughter but when I do manage to express a feed for a rare night out, we’ve been using the MAM anti-colic range of bottles I received in my goody bag at Cybermummy 11. MAM claim easy transition between Mum and bottle and this is certainly the case with my 3 month old daughter who was reluctant to take a bottle when I tried a more [...]

Fabric Flavours is an on-line retailer of branded baby and kids clothes. Featuring well-known modern icons from Disney, Sesame Street, Marvel and DC Comics, to name a few, these quality, quirky goods come in a range of styles and sizes. We were given the Supergirl pink long sleeved baby vest to try on our 14 week old. Weighing in at nearly 15lb, she’s quite big for her size but fit nicely into the 0-6 month. [...]

We’ve been testing the Snuggle Bundl. An innovative baby lifting blanket and a real Sussex success story. The Snuggle Bundl is a blanket with a difference. Shaped like a hammock in order to scoop up the baby with two handles, so as not to disturb them while sleeping plus be gentle to post-natal mums, especially after a caesarian. And this is how the product was born, co-creator David Solomons’ wife had complications with birth plus [...]

One of my favourite apps on my iPhone was Sleep Cycle, a massively successful ‘bio-alarm clock’. The basic idea is that by keeping your phone on your mattress while you sleep, you can use the phone’s accelerometer to detect when you’re sleeping most lightly, and to wake you up at this optimal phase of your sleep cycle. This tends to result in a much more refreshing awakening, which can really brighten up the rest of your day. Sleep [...]

What springs to mind when you think of Halloween? Carved out lanterns and apple bobbing? Or is it the more Americanised tradition of kids in spooky costumes trick or treating at night around the neighbourhood? Increasingly, the latter of the two is at the heart of Halloween and can put worry on parents when allowing children to roam the streets. So how can we keep our kids safe this Halloween? One option, of course, is [...]

This Simplicity app is unlike any other cooking app I’ve used before. Instead of packing itself to the gills with a bevy of recipes contributed by users to a website somewhere, the Simplicity app packs just nine recipes. Each of these, however, gets a very professional treatment. There is a video at the top of the app, and instructions written below. The cinematography is very good; you get a clear view of the ingredients used [...]

New for 2011, the Kaloo Pop range brings a touch of vibrancy to their trademark soft toys and comforters for babies and toddlers. The selection includes bunny and teddy bear doudou blankets and ‘chubby’ bunny and teddy bear soft toys with a rattle inside. Designed in strong primary colours, making them non-gender specific, the concept of each toy is originated from a design team around a theme or story. Kaloo’s brand signature is to blend [...]

Nothing could tear me apart from the iPhone, or could it? After two weeks of testing the Samsung Galaxy Ace on the Three network I began to see there’s more to life than Apple. Me and the iPhone have been locked in a love affair for some years now. It started with the 3G which I quickly left for the 3GS, I’m flirting with the 4 while waiting for something better to come along, the [...]

Our guest reviewer Louise tested out Cookery Doodle Doo on a very wet saturday morning! It was a cold and rainy Saturday morning and as I looked out of the window wondering what to do with my 5 year old girl I was offered the chance to go and review a Cookery Doodle Doo children’s cookery class in the centre of Brighton which we jumped at the chance of as our trip to the park [...]
