How aware are you of the costs of bringing up your baby or toddler? Are you like me and simply don’t think about it, or are you one of those parents who are very aware of the costs from birth right through to your little ones leaving home?

I’ve a question – is it only English journalists who use any news opportunity to bring up and discuss their own views and experiences on breastfeeding?
I was thrilled to find this website. Babiesknow classes are a new joint venture from Dr Yehudi Gordon and Kitty Hagenbach. Dr Gordon’s book Birth and Beyond is the only book I wished I had had before I had children. It is jam packed full of great information about pregnancy, labour and the early years, but written from a heart centered space, unlike so many books on parenting. With an emphasis on attachment and highlighting just how important it is for a baby to be close to it’s primary carer these courses are making available up to date scientific research so that this style of parenting is no longer for ‘hippy’ mums but for everyone who wants mentally healthy, grounded children who will be a contribution to the world. In my experience it also results in happy parents and a wonderful closeness with your children.
When I saw the Babiesknow website I was filled with great joy and excitement because at last here was a team that were putting into action all those things that we believe parenting should be about. I am so glad that we are now seeing a sea change away from controlled crying/ cry it out/ clock watching/ competitive parenting that was so prevalent in the 00′s. With classes such as these parents will realise that the concerns we all had about the ‘detached’ method of parenting was not about the short term effects but in fact the whole life of that baby, this website clearly explains that.
At the moment classes are only in London, but there is so much great information on the site that even if you did not make a class or workshop you would learn loads.

This is great for make-it-yourself Christmas special, it’s ideal as a stocking filler or hanging on the tree and won’t take you long. You can make a whole family of them all different colours. You may even remember making these at school. Enjoy!
This is one of my favourite ‘make-it-yourself’ craft toys as it provides hours of play, all for the price of a few buttons!
This is a really simple craft toy to make and you’ll have loads of fun blowing your fish along. All you need is a couple of items you’ll probably have around the house and plenty of puff!
Today the National Perinatal Epidemiology Unit released the results of a cohort study between April 2008 and April 2010, looking at care in labour, delivery and birth outcomes for the mother and baby for 64,000 ‘low risk’ births in England.
It covered 97% of NHS Trusts providing home birth services and nearly 90% of midwifery units took part.
What I find so interesting is how robust academic data can be interrupted in such different ways by our various British newspapers and media. So while many of the broadsheets offer a balanced and fair coverage some of the tabloids (and those with the highest circulations) choose to focus entirely on picking out and sensationalizing any statistic that potentially generates shock and fear among their readers.
Here’s a great little craft toy – made all the better with the use of fasteners that allows the deer to jump and dance around.
