Today I sit at work feeling beyond tired. My little Daniel who has never been a good sleeper was up again last night at 3am. He did not go back to sleep as he sometimes does. This has had a knock on effect on my whole day. I still have to get up, do the school run, go to work, cook and sort out things for tomorrow. Dan was so tired I had to fetch him from Nursery early which impacted on my day heavily. On days like these it is easy to feel as if parenting is such hard work as every niggle or moan my kids make is magnified by feeling tired.

On the news this morning (in the UK) there was a story on a woman who went back to work just 7 hours after having her 3rd baby. She is the Head Teacher of an all girls school and she carries her baby in a pouch while she is teaching, breastfeeds between meetings and gets her paper work done while the baby sleeps. She admits that she is in quite a unique situation where her work allows her to bring her baby with her (she is the boss after all) and her baby is settled and relaxed in temperatment. She is wanting to set a good example to the girls she teaches, showing them that they can have it all - a family life as well as a high flying career.

Babies who are carried more cry less.
Baby wearing helps your baby adapt to the outside world by having you close as their security.

Today I walked with my children to drop Tom (4) off at school. Daniel (2) was in his pram as it is 2 mile round trip. On the way there my all-singing, all-dancing, all-terrain pram had a flat tire which made it almost impossible to push with Dan in it. On the way home it started to drizzle. They type of drizzle that soaks you and freezes you to the bone.

Happy New year to all of our Baby Sense parents and parents to be. Wishing everyone a marvellous 2010. I have just come back from South Africa to my home in the UK and I must say it is all a bit of a shock to the system. South Africa was 30 degrees and my kids spent most of their days either on the beach or in the pool when we were there. Back home in the UK it is freezing cold. Literally freezing at around -3 degrees. I have had to readjust my thinking as to what to do with my 2 boys in this freezing weather. Well, wherever you are in the world Baby Sense has some ideas for you. Hot or cold, rain or shine, visit our website for ideas on activities you can do at home and outdoors:

Meg. I just wanted to let you know that I think the Baby Sense White Noise CD is the best thing ever invented. I have used the CD with both of my boys to help them to sleep well. Last night Tom (4) woke at midnight with a terrible cough. I put him in bed with me and he coughed for over an hour. He became upset as he couldnt get to sleep. I tried everything to soothe him and get him to settle, but nothing worked. Brainwave! I thought to try the White Noise. Grabbed the CD player, put it on and within 10 minutes he had calmed and his coughing lessened. 5 Minutes later he was fast asleep and didnt wake until 7am. I too seem to have woken up refreshed despite the midnight coughing spree. I feel like I slept so well. Love it, love it, love it!
