Really helpful video from BRI and Airedale Midwives about safe sleep for your little one. It explains everything clearly and simply, especially if you're unsure about safe co-sleeping or wondering whether your baby’s sleep space is set up safely. Definitely worth a watch for any new or expecting parents.

In light of the current cost of living crisis, the Lullaby Trust has expressed concern over the impact increasing social deprivation may have on the numbers ...

💰 Thrifty Thursday: Smart Saving for Families

💡 Money-Saving Tip for Families:
Create a simple “Baby Box” at home for outgrown clothes.

As soon as your little one grows out of something, wash it, fold it, and pop it straight into a labelled storage box. When the box is full, you can:
✅ Pass it on to a friend
✅ Donate to Gianna Baby Bank
✅Sell as a bundle online
✅ Save it for younger siblings

Bundling items together (e.g. “0–3 months winter bundle”) often sells faster and for more than individual pieces helping you stretch your family budget further.

Small habits can make a big difference over time 💚

If you’re having a clear out, we’re always grateful for good-quality, gently used baby essentials.
