If your young child struggles to sleep either at bedtime or throughout the night and doesn’t nap well, then a sleep establishment process may need to be considered from 6 months of age onwards. Sleep Expert, Lucy Wolfe, has some tips so that your child gets the right amount and quality of sleep for healthy development and is in turn able to sail through major transitions such as your return to work and their starting in day care, with ease.

Parenting is a labyrinth of emotions, and one particularly challenging aspect that many parents encounter is separation anxiety. As your little one reaches developmental milestones, the pangs of anxiety can set in, creating a unique journey for both child and parent. Psychotherapist Tatjana Simakova, talks us through understanding and addressing separation anxiety.

In the world of parenting, few challenges are as universal as navigating the realm of a fussy eater. For the parents of young children, the battle at the dinner table can often feel like an uphill struggle. Fear not, Nutrition Coach and Founder of Fussy Food Plates, Samantha Forrest. gives us a guide to unravel the complexities of nurturing healthy appetites in young kids, with some practical strategies and insights to turn mealtime woes into a nourishing adventure.

Sleep problems can linger well into the school-going age bracket. Sleep issues are not reserved for infants and toddlers, but if parents have reached the stage when their older child doesn’t sleep well, you may also be resigned to the situation. Obviously the older the child is, the more difficult it can be to change long ingrained habits and expectations. With age, the emotional landscape shifts as well. However, the principles of healthy sleep hygiene still apply and your child’s sleep can always be improved.  Of course, some children are better sleeper than others, and yes, some children require more and some a little less than average. Lucy Wolfe has some tips.

The Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2022 came into force in July 2023 and as part of that women will now have a paid entitlement to breastfeeding breaks in the workplace up to 2 years of baby’s birth.

The school around the corner was traditionally the preferred choice for parents with a convenience and tradition expected as kids started preschool or primary. Over the last ten years a dramatic shift has occurred in the learning choices available to our kids, with many seeking out non-traditional schooling options, as parents recognise how these innovative learning solutions can change a child’s future and positively impact their wellbeing. But what exactly are parents choosing and why? Geraldine Walsh gives us the full story.

In advance of the clocks going back when we wake on Sunday October 29th, Sleep Expert and Author, Lucy Wolfe, encourage parents not to worry and to also be aware of some strategies that can be considered so that your established sleeper continues to sleep well.

Have you heard the expression ‘it takes a village to raise a child’? Sounds nice, doesn’t it? Traditionally, when we had babies, we were surrounded by a support network that consisted of family, friends, and neighbours. Modern society has moved so far away from this traditional village, that we are left wondering where everyone is. Building your village can include leaning on your friends and family, getting to know other local parents who live near you and taking part in group activities where you will meet other parents. Chatting to parents at the park, swimming lessons, or breastfeeding class can open so many helpful doors. You may meet a new parent friend who could use your help, too. Join Children’s Nurse, Karen Prunty for more.

Pregnancy sickness often feels like a different type of nausea to anything you may have experienced before, almost like a mixture of being hungry, jet-lagged and hungover. But before we hate on this pesky symptom too much let’s make sure we understand why it may happen to us. And if ‘morning’ or pregnancy sickness does impact you, please know that you are not alone. Pregnancy sickness is thought to affect the majority of women around 85% and half of these women will also experience vomiting. Midwife Pip Davies has some top tips for managing morning sickness.

Make sure to enter all our great giveaways. We have a family break at Johnstown Estate to giveaway along with a Russell Hobbs Good to Go Multi-Cooker, a Triton electric shower, a €250 voucher from Very and much more!

Hello!

While I am sure we all agree pregnancy is an amazing time. Let’s keep it real … there can also be some less-amazing symptoms. Understanding why you may be feeling a certain way or why your body is undergoing these strange changes is really reassuring and can help us to understand that our pregnancy is progressing well as our bodies are devoted to growing a little one. Midwife Pip talks us through how we can manage common pregnancy symptoms.

With millions of names to choose from, selecting the perfect name for your baby can be a daunting task for parents and it can be hard to know where to begin. The research shows that some parents-to-be are turning to pop culture to gain baby name inspiration, with the likes of Willow, Luna and Harper proving popular.

Soothers can be an integral part of a child's comforts but when the time comes to get rid of the soother it can often be very overwhelming for both parent and child. Every parent has their own “why”. Every home moves to a different beat as does every child. Behaviour Specialist, Deirdre Holland Hannon, has some tips on knowing when is right and what to do next.

They’ve mastered day time toilet training but why is your child still wetting the bed and how can you stop it? Wet bedding can be expected at night while initially toilet training, and all children have occasional accidents, even years after being completely dry. Read more from Emma Grant.

The pandemic has left its scars in more ways than one. We are acutely aware of the world's changing behavioural patterns caused by too many lockdowns, severe restrictions, and the epidemic of isolation and loneliness. As parents, we have raised our children in a bubble. Under-socialisation has been a concern for many of us as we question if the lack of contact with others affected how our babies, toddlers, and preschoolers grew with or without relevant social skills. When the world shut down, were those babies born into a pandemic at a disadvantage, especially as the pandemic lasted longer than expected? Ger Walsh chats to Linda Breathnach, member of the Irish Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, with some reassurances for parents..

It can be very frustrating when your child does not sleep well. It is a place that you may feel only you inhabit. You may sense that your child is just a "bad sleeper”. Healthy sleep habits do not always come naturally for some children. In fact depending on what study you read 30-50% of families report sleep issues. Sleep Consultant and Author of The Baby Sleep Solution, Lucy Wolfe discusses how sleep is behavioural in nature.

Make sure to enter all our great giveaways. We have an Infantino Projector, a hamper of Eskimo3 goodies and a Co-Glide Crib from Baby Elegance.

The Little One was founded in 2019 by Janette McInerney, who created the business after struggling to find zippy babygros for her super wriggly son Conor. Fast forward 3 years and The Little One is launching swimwear, tracksuits, dresses and more! Make sure to read all about Janette’s entrepreneurial journey.

As you increase the number of your family, one area of concern can be, how one parent prepares and comforts two or more children as part of the transition to sleep at bedtime and how do you manage naps with an older child roaming about unsupervised. There is no definitive answer to this question, but each individual family will begin to make inroads to this parenting dilemma in their own unique way. However, it can feel like a big transition and may be worthy of some forward planning and then some solution exploration as required. Sleep Consultant at Sleep Matters and Author of The Baby Sleep Solution, Lucy Wolfe has some tips.

Less is definitely more when it comes to toys in your little one’s playroom. It is a well-known fact that children play ‘better’ when they have less to choose from. We now know that play is the work of children too. So, it makes sense that when they are given the opportunity to focus their attention on the exploration of a few carefully chosen toys, they are much more likely to discover the learning potential of each toy. Laura Erskine  talks to Child Development Expert, Ollwyn Moran, on why toy rotation is so beneficial.

Make sure to enter all our great giveaways. We have a TRVL buggy from NUNA, a pamper package for mum-to-be at The Radisson Blu and 4 x bottle sets from MAM.

A moment please for our cover story - Mummy Sinéad Hingston-Green and her beautiful, long awaited, little Alby (FKA Sparky). After experiencing her miscarriages, Sinead decided that something needed to be done to raise awareness, and to give hope to those who experience a pregnancy loss. She started the ‘Spark a Life’ campaign on social media. 

It goes without saying that sleep can be frustrating especially within the first year of life. No sooner do you think that you have established a healthy sleeping pattern than something seems to knock you off course. From nap transitions to weaning onto solid food, dropping night-time feeds and of course sleep regressions and growth spurts. Lucy Wolfe has some tips on telling which is which.

Aside from being protected, breastfeeding on the go can have many benefits for both you and your baby. It is very convenient as you have all the equipment you need for feeding right there on you. Once you get the hang of it, it can become practically effortless. You also have a fantastic way of calming your baby if they become overstimulated in a busy shop or restaurant. Try these tips from Postnatal Doulas, Ceara McManus and Eleanor Farrell of Doula to You, to help get you ready for those first few feeds.

Make sure to enter all our great giveaways. We have a couples stay at Castleknock Hotel, a Nuna Aace Ix car seat and x 5 bottles of new Bio Oil lotion.

We are thrilled that Mums & Tots magazine is an official partner of Irish start-up, Kinderfli, Our cover girl, Farrah Rose Ruane is a fantastic brand ambassador, pictured with her ‘buddies’. One of Kinderfli's first literacy and support initiatives is its #IBelongToo Diversity and Inclusion in Childhood Awareness Campaign, which ran in autumn 2021. "Although amazingly diverse, children worldwide are united in their need to belong and feel secure and loved, and most have an item that brings them comfort. Whether a worn-out plush toy or thread bear blankie, these comforters, though unified in purpose, all have different stories as diverse and unique as the children they belong to," explains Alda Smith.

“When I was told I was infertile I became somewhat cold. I was no longer Denise, I was the infertile woman struggling to have a baby. I was used to the fact that my body didn't work in the correct manner. The acceptance part of being infertile changes you because you go into a dark place.” For so many women this rings true and strikes a deep and painful chord. Denise Phillips, has been an ambassador for women struggling with fertility in Ireland, becoming a beacon of hope for so many. In sharing her experience on social media, she has opened up a space for others to feel empowered to share their own journey and remove the stigma of speaking about infertility.

Returning to work and easing your baby into a crèche can be a daunting prospect for many families. For some, it can be difficult enough, with just the thought of leaving your baby for long periods of time, without the added challenge of preparing your child to sleep well there too. Sleep Consultant and Author of ‘The Baby Sleep Solution’, Lucy Wolfe, has put together some helpful strategies and points of consideration, to make the transition as smooth as possible.

The fourth trimester, or the first three months of your baby's life, is a time of great learning and adjustment for the whole family. At times it may feel as though the focus is all on the newborn and mother dyad, but partners we see you. We acknowledge that you too are transitioning into a new role without much guidance. A role, which has become all-encompassing in recent decades. Postnatal Doulas, Ceara McManus & Eleanor Farrell of Doula to You, take a look at the first few postpartum month’s, from a partner’s point of view.

Pregnancy can be demanding upon the body - from the morning sickness and stretch marks to lesser known symptoms, such as itchy boobs and thrush. From day one until the arrival of your baby, new questions and doubts about the physical effects of pregnancy are likely to arise. Co-Founder and Clinical Director of My Expert Midwife, Lesley Gilchrist, has the answers.

Have you ever heard of informed consent through your pregnancy and birth experience? It is the process of obtaining and understanding the risks, benefits and alternatives of any given procedure or intervention. Importantly it requires that you are capable of understanding what a procedure might mean, the implications of any procedure and explicitly agree to this procedure or intervention being performed or carried out, or not. Doula, Sandy Connolly, talks about what informed consent is and why it is important in your birthspace.

Amanda Hatton of Your Story Photography photographed our beautiful cover from a series for National Breastfeeding Week last August. We love how poignant this shoot is - socially distant and masked up but beside each other, like pillars of strength and support. Saying of her own experience breastfeeding her three boys Amanda says, ‘I was blessed with a huge community throughout all my feeding journeys… I didn’t find any of them easy, they all came with struggles but is a stage I will truly miss.’. Breastfeeding, more often than not, comes with challenges, particularly in the early days. It is so important to have people to turn to if we have questions, or doubts, on this journey. Jennifer Phillips’ offers us some tips on connecting with other breastfeeding mums and experts in Ireland.

Resolving the stand-off at bedtime with your older child can push you to your very limit. As your child grows, their ability to dispute, refute, bargain, negotiate and stall at bedtime is unequalled. It can result in bedtime taking hours and  may include parents spending a long time lying beside their child, or returning their child to bed on multiple occasions. If this sounds familiar, join Author and Sleep Expert at Sleep Matter’s, Lucy Wolfe as she explores some suggestions to reduce the struggle and reclaim bedtime as a calm time that results in sleep for your child and some down time for you.

One of the main issues that women face during pregnancy is how people react to their body as their pregnancy advances. There does seem to be a culture where unsolicited comments from family, friends, co-workers and even strangers - as to the size of a pregnant woman’s bump - are deemed to be acceptable. It’s not. A woman’s body and her pregnancy bump is hers, it’s not something that should be open for discussion or for people to touch without permission. Read more on bump shaming from registered midwife, and co-founder of My Expert Midwife, Lesley Gilchrist.

Have you ever written a birth plan and have things go not quite as you had expected? Sometimes, we have to let go of the birth we had once visualised and focus on what is best for us and baby when the moment comes. Jessica O’Neil, or @mymooandroo, as she is often known in the Instagram world, welcomed the arrival of her rainbow baby, Alfie James Bolton last February. Read how Jess came to terms with a massive change in her birth plan, welcoming Alfie in the back of an ambulance.

A few months ago Joanna from Marta Faye Photography got in touch with us about a feature idea to put the spotlight on women who became mothers at 40 and challenge the negative misconceptions that it is, ‘too hard to have children as an older mum’. We put out a call out on our Facebook page and were humbled by such a massive response of women wanting to get involved in the project! Some women have been focused on their careers, while some have waited a long time to get pregnant, undergoing fertility treatments to have their much wanted family. Thank you to all the mums for telling their stories!

As March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day, we have a very special story from Molly’s mum Rhona Cullinan on page 16, ’Nothin Down, Only Up!’. She tells us, ‘a child with down syndrome has the same feelings and wants as every other child. They have the same emotions but are generally very good natured but don’t think they can't throw a wobbler when they want.’. For more information about Down Syndrome, turn to page 19, with Down Syndrome Ireland.

When my first was born, I wished I had been more informed on what to expect -  not from my newborn, but informed about how my body would feel physically and mentally in the days and weeks after child birth. Postnatal Doulas, Ceara McManus & Eleanor Farrell of Doula to You, page 34-35, talk to us about what to expect from your body after giving birth; from hormonal changes, after pains, bruising and that terrifying first poo!

We are totally thrilled to be featuring an exclusive photography campaign ‘#Storylines’, from anewmum, with award winning Photographer, Neely Ker-Fox. As a society, we as women in Ireland, are sometimes underinformed about the changes and challenges they we will experience during the first year after giving birth. Add to that the pressures of perfection as endorsed by media and society and it is no surprise that so many new mums experience a sense of loss, disconnect and depression. Neely Ker-Fox’s photographed eight mums across Ireland to showcase the beauty of women’s changed bodies after birth in all their glorious perfect imperfections. Please join the conversation with the ‘Storylines’ hashtag and read our cover girl, Ali’s story along with the other mums from the campaign.

Motherhood - there is no one size fits all. From pregnancy to parenting we all have different experiences. Having never suffered with Post Natal Depression myself, I had not realised what a spectrum of severity there can be. Some new mums could isolate themselves at home, very obviously depressed and then some who appear to just have a case of ‘the baby blues’. Sarah Ryan bravely tells us her experience, with her diagnosis only emerging when her son was over 2.

Over the last few years I have become increasingly conscious of my own carbon footprint and now, with young kids I have even more of an awareness of the amount of waste we create in our home. But where do we start to reduce our waste and move towards a more sustainable lifestyle? The answer is baby steps!  Every little thing we do is better than doing nothing - whether that is getting rid of clingfilm from lunchboxes or buying a keep cup for your coffee. We have been particularly inspired by Pat Kane’s mission to help families in Ireland create new habits by sourcing a range of top quality reusable products, via her sustainable store, Reuzi.

As children start, or return, back to play school, or big school, after the summer holidays, parents often wonder how they can best support their child throughout the new school year.

Single parenting can be hard. For a lot of our readers, being a single mum is an every day reality. We are thrilled to have TEDx Speaker and Parenting Coach, Nina Farr, share what she has learned about navigating her family’s changing shape and also an excerpt from her book, ‘I am the Parent Who Stayed’ We love the personification of a strong mum on our cover. 

You may be familiar with the beautiful ‘Adam’s Cloud’ children book series. Mums & Tots Editor, Roberta, chats to Author, Benji Bennett, about his family’s story of grief and love and the release of the new ‘Adam Saves the Seasons’ story on Adam’s ten year anniversary.

We love the concept from the recent WaterWipes campaign ‘When a Baby is born, a parent is born’. As a new mum, everything is new and there are so many firsts. So, we are going back to basics - make sure to read our new born guides to; breastfeeding, fevers, treating a blocked nose, car seat safety and how to bathe your newborn.

Don’t forget to enter this issue’s amazing competitions, which include; €25 off spa treatments at Edvard & Pink, Dundrum, a hotel break for 2 at Farnham House Estate, a family pass to Tayto Park and a wooden kitchen from KidKraft.

We are delighted to have baby Lara on our front cover for spring. She is 1 of 9 kids to the lovely Rosemary and Stephen Murphy. Families with seven or more children were a normal part of daily life only 30 or 40 years ago. With the average family now at just 1.4 children, big broods are an increasingly unusual sight in Ireland. That being said, there are some mums who (unapologetically!) thrive on the energy and excitement of having a big family - despite sometimes encountering unwanted comment from others. Make sure to read our interview with Rosemary and find out a little about the daily running of a big household.

Have you ever heard of ‘baby led weaning’? All parents face the same questions when they take their first steps into the world of weaning; is my baby ready, what first foods should I start with and how much food should I be giving? There is also the consideration of whether to go down the baby-led or spoon-led route. We have Author and baby food guru, Annabel Karmel on hand to walk is through this exciting stage in baby’s development.

Favouritism is very common but can leave the discarded parent feeling neglected, lost and naturally upset. It's a phase, is often the resounding answer and yes, it normally is but that does not make the situation any less hurtful or difficult to deal with for the parent who is not wanted. Read more from Geraldine Walsh on dealing with this common parenting situation.

Don’t forget to enter this issue’s amazing competitions, which include; a spa break at Knockranny spa and hotel, a Dreamgenii pillow and a really cool elephant activity centre.

More and more mums are using Instagram to showcase a little bit of their smallies lives. We cannot get enough of these trendy women and their mini-me’s. We love following our favourite mini bloggers and seeing homegrown talent flourish. Insta Mommy Micro-Blogger, Charlotte Pabiona, mom-ager of this stylish duo, tells us all about her journey.

A big thank you to our fabulous readers for all your votes! On the 20th of October we had a wonderful afternoon at Castleknock Hotel celebrating the people winners of our 5th annual Mums & Tots Awards 2017 with NUK. Make sure to read all about it in our 10 page supplement.

We all know that if you give a baby or a young child a present, it is more than likely, that they will want to spend time scrunching the wrapping paper or playing with the box instead of playing with the toy itself. Dearbhala Cox Giffin, Director of Childcare Giraffe Childcare, discusses the heuristic play approach of using treasure boxes filled with every day objects to provide rush mental stimulation for babies.

Don’t forget to enter this issue’s amazing competitions, which include; a foldable SmarTrike, an engraved high chair from Tripp Trapp, a Brabantia Bo Touch bin and a book hamper from Simon & Schuster.

We love autumn! Back to school buzz, warm clothes back out, and blackberrying in the woods with friends. This issue, we have plenty of great articles, tips, trends and competitions for you.

The second part in our alternative birth series is; water births. The Coombe is the only maternity hospital in Dublin which has a specially designed birthing pool. Since the commencement of the service in 2004, over 300 women have used the pool for labour and, of these, 107 women have gone on to have a water birth. Read all about the requirements for having a water birth, along with 3 stories from our readers on their own experience.

Sleep, the holy grail for all parents. A common question our panel of experts get for our M&T Clinic pages is, ‘why won’t my baby nap?’ Sleep Expert, Lucy Wolfe, explains the reasons behind this dilemma and gives some useful sleep solutions to get baby napping better during the day and sleeping better at night too.

There are many different diets out there. For most of us, steering clear of any sort of ‘fad diet’ is a good idea. However for some, these particular diets can be useful in the short and/or long term on helping your health and getting in to a better lifestyle. We uncover the pros and cons to each.

Don’t forget to enter this issue’s amazing competitions, which include; a family hotel break at The Rose Hotel, Co. Kerry, Penneys gift cards, a book hamper from Usborne Books and a Zip baby carrier from Infantino Bkids.

We are thrilled to have Neasa and her beautiful daughter Sadhbh on our summer cover. Neasa believes that Sadhbh has the ‘gift of Down syndrome’. 

The Down syndrome Centre of Ireland opened its doors in 2014 and since then it welcomes over 200 children and their families every week. They provide vital services in speech and language therapy, physiotherapy, massage and more. Read more about this wonderful organisation and find out how you can help.

Home birth can be a safe option for low risk healthy women. Research shows that a planned home birth is an acceptable and safe alternative to a planned hospital birth for some pregnant women. If this is an option you are considering, we have all the info for you, plus one mum’s home birthing experience.

Babywearing is the ancient tradition of carrying infants and young children in a piece of cloth known as a sling, which allows the wearer to carry on with daily tasks while keeping young children conveniently and safely close. Babywearing has seen a massive increase in popularity in Ireland during recent years. Make sure to stop by our top carriers and slings trend pages.

We are thrilled to have the 'Kelly Quads' and family as our spring cover story. Anita tells us how they went from being a family of 3 to a family of 7!! We also have a multiples checklist and birth plan for all our readers who are expecting twins or more.

One of the trickiest milestones in the early years is toilet training. It can be hard to navigate because every child is different and does things at their own pace. Some may train quickly, others may not be ready, needing more time. We have some top tips if your little one is currently approaching this stage, along with some very funny words of wisdom from our readers on what worked and what didn't work.

Lots of alternative therapies in this issue; from acupuncture in pregnancy to cranio sacral therapy for baby and play therapy for kids. Sometimes it's good to think outside the box.

As usual we have some great giveaways and offers for our spring issue. Make sure to enter our amazing competitions, which include; the new kiddy back pack from MomyMoo and a family stay at the Castleknock Hotel Dublin.

We are delighted to have Ranae and her wife Audrey, along with their sweet little girl Ava, on the front cover of our winter issue. Ranae was kind enough to share their path to parenthood with us. It is such an important topic to highlight because ‘Reciprocal IVF’ or ‘Shared Motherhood’ is currently unavailable here in Ireland. 

On average, couples in Ireland are having between 2-3 kids per family. Use of contraception is at an all time high, with more women opting for newer contraceptive forms such as; coils or implants. How do you and your partner choose what is right for you? We outline all the options available.

The first year of baby’s life is a wonderful whirlwind of sleepless nights, nappies and those wonderful newborn cuddles. Mum of seven, Jen Hogan, tells us what to expect. Plus, sleep expert, Lucy Wolfe, prepares us for the lack of sleep that comes with the 4th Trimester, and some top tips on how to manage.
