New Year’s Resolutions: New Year, New Beginnings, New You!

Making New Year’s resolutions is a great way to start the year with a positive attitude & some new goals to strive for. But with a beautiful new baby on the way, this year’s resolutions are sure to look a little different from last year’s. You’re already headed for a dry January, and you certainly won’t want to be losing any weight!

Here are a few of our favourite resolutions for mamas-to-be…

 

Resolution 1: Take More Pictures

Get the Look: Black Maternity Shift Dress

This one’s a no-brainer. Pregnancy is such a special time in your life, and it’ll be over before you know it (even if it may not always feel that way)! Organising a pregnancy photo shoot is the perfect way to make some memories. Treat yourself to some beautiful new maternity clothes, get dressed up, do your hair & makeup, and capture your gorgeous new curves on camera. Of course once your little bundle of joy arrives , you won’t be needing any encouragement to get the camera out!

 

Resolution 2: Get Active

Staying active through pregnancy is a great way to help prepare your body for the physical demands of labour & caring for a newborn. Whether you decide to hit the gym, join a pregnancy yoga class or get out for a gentle jog, a little exercise is guaranteed to boost your mood and your energy levels. Check out our selection of stylish maternity sportswear & yoga gear.

 

Resolution 3: Eat Well

You’re eating for two now – and with a baby on board, it’s more important than ever to make sure you’re getting your 5 a day along with plenty of pregnancy-friendly vitamins, minerals & nutrients.

For more info, check out our post on healthy pregnancy eating habits

 

Resolution 4: Get Nesting

Babies come with plenty of stuff, so now is the time to harness those nesting instincts and have a good spring clean before he or she arrives. Take the opportunity to de-clutter, tidy and organise your home – you’ll have plenty on your plate once baby is born, so seize the moment & do it now while you have the time.

 

More Me-Time

Last but certainly not least, make sure that you take some time out for yourself to relax, recharge & indulge in things that make you happy.  Whether it’s a trip to the spa, a lazy weekend brunch or even just a  quiet afternoon to yourself, that brief moment will work wonders for your mood & your energy levels.

 

Whatever your resolutions, we wish you a healthy, happy New Year mamas!

Newborn Baby Care: 10 Things New Mums Wish They’d Known Sooner

Eilish Saba is the founder of The Baby Care Company, which runs the very popular 2nd baby preparation classes helping parents get ready for all the practicalities of life with 2. She also runs corporate seminars, practical private classes for those having their first baby, sleep sessions and newborn baby care parenting 101 sessions as well as surrogate classes. For more details you can visit her website www.thebabycarecompany.co.uk or contact her directly at info@thebabycarecompany.co.uk.

 

 

1) Life as you know it changes instantly and those first few days and weeks go by in a blur so scrap the to-do list and just enjoy time getting to know your baby.

 

2) Everyone will have an opinion about how to parent your newborn baby. Try to not be swayed by others and make your own mind up as to what works for you.

 

 

3) You will have lochia (the post-partum period) after you’ve given birth, even if you’ve had a c-section. This is like a heavy period.

 

4) Babies have to be given the opportunity to learn to settle themselves to sleep and some babies cry a little when they are trying to get to sleep to create their own white noise.

 

 

5) An overtired baby can be very hard to settle, so try to ensure your baby sleeps in the daytime to encourage them to sleep better at night.

 

6) Breastfeeding can be tough and mums can have very different experiences. If you’re having a difficult time, don’t suffer in silence. Seek help sooner rather than later.

 

 

7) You spend a lot of time feeding in the early days, in fact you wonder how you managed to get so much done before you had a baby. So make sure to have a a good supply of comfy and supportive nursing bras and tops to help you along.

 

8) When you’re changing boys and to a lesser extend girls, exposure to air, i.e opening the nappy, can trigger a wee (more dramatic in boys!) And on a similar note, if your baby has recently done a poo, there may be another one on the way.

 

A photo posted by Marina (@marina_de_s) on

 

9) Other mums don’t always tell the truth about how amazing they’re feeling and how wonderfully their babies are sleeping.

 

10) Getting out of the house in the early days will be harder than you’d ever believe. Don’t worry, you’re not alone and you’ll soon become a pro.

Skin Care For A Winter Pregnancy: Protect Your Pregnancy Glow!

It’s time to think about making the switch mamas! As we’re sure you’ve probably heard, WINTER IS COMING. And just like you wouldn’t carry on wearing your strappy tops & sandals into December (we hope!), colder weather calls for a whole new skin care regime & some gorgeous new maternity clothes! Take a look at our top tips for protecting your skin, so that your radiance can continue to glow through the colder months.

 

For the Face

Wondering why that perfect moisturiser you were using all summer suddenly isn’t doing the trick? With the incoming colder weather, instead of combating shine, your main objective is now to keep your skin hydrated. And the best place to start is by switching to a heavier, more hydrating moisturiser. For an extra radiance boost, make sure to choose skin care that’s pregnancy safe & designed for sensitive skin.

We Love: Mama Mio Gorgeous Glow 3 Step Set

The Dress: Woven Boucle Maternity Shift Dress

 

For the Hands

Pregnant woman wears a knitted maternity dress with gloves

We know the feeling – As soon as the temperatures drop, your hands are the first to feel it. That’s because the skin on your hands is thinner than on the rest of your body, with fewer oil glands, meaning that they dry out much quicker. Fight back this winter with a heavy arsenal of pregnancy-friendly hand creams stashed anywhere you might need them – at your desk, by your bed, in your handbag. All’s fair in the war on chapped knuckles!

 The Dress: Cashmere Blend Roll Neck Nursing Dress

 

For the Body

Pregnant woman wears a blue maternity dress

As tempting as it may be to sink into a hot and steamy bath this time of year, your skin will thank you for dialling the temperature down. Not only does hot water dry out and damage your skin, it’s also not safe for your baby! Warm baths on the other hand are totally safe, fine for your skin & a fabulous way to relax – just make sure that you can get straight in without having to ease in bit by bit. Once you’re out of the bath, treat your skin by locking in the moisture with an all over body lotion!

We love: Mama Mio Megamama Body Lotion 

 The Dress: Tiered Midnight Blue Maternity Dress

 

For the Bump

Pregnant woman wears Seraphine denim maternity shirt

No matter the time of year, if you have a growing bump be sure to treat it with an elasticising tummy rub to minimize your risk of stretch marks. Your skin goes through a lot when you’re pregnant, so the least you can do is to give it the best possible chances with plenty of Omega 3, 6 & 9 boosting skin care to build strength & elasticity.

We love: Mama Mio The Tummy Rub Butter

The Shirt: Stretch Denim Maternity Blouse

 

For the Feet & Legs

Of course through the summer when our feet & legs are out on display we are all careful about keeping them well exfoliated & moisturised. But when they’re safely tucked away in jeans & boots, it can be all too easy to overlook them. Through pregnancy your pins are working harder than ever to carry you and your baby around all day, so don’t forget to show them some love too!
