New Mom Tips: Real‑World Advice for Your First Year

Just became a mum? Congratulations! The first months can feel like a whirlwind of diapers, feedings and endless questions. This page gathers the most useful guides we have, so you can find clear answers fast without sifting through endless articles.

Essential Safety Must‑Knows

Safety is the first thing on every new parent’s mind. From car seats to baby carriers, we break down the rules you actually need to follow. Learn the exact weight limits for UK booster seats, why a dry bottle matters, and how to spot the signs of suffocating baby syndrome in carriers. Each tip comes with a quick checklist you can paste on the fridge and refer to whenever you’re in a rush.

We also cover everyday safety gear that often gets overlooked. Think about baby gates, night‑time monitors, and even how to choose a sturdy dresser for the nursery without spending a fortune. The goal is simple: give you confidence that your little one is protected in the places you use daily.

Feeding, Sleep & Growing Comfortably

Feeding can feel like a guessing game. Whether you’re hunting for free baby formula, wondering if a baby should drink a bottle too fast, or need to know if a swaddle is still required, we’ve got step‑by‑step advice. The articles explain why babies should lie flat until six months, how to use a baby monitor without burning out, and when it’s safe to transition from a crib to a toddler bed.

Sleep is another big puzzle. We compare co‑sleeping myths with the science behind why some babies sleep better in a parent’s bed, and we give practical tips for setting up a cosy nursery that promotes calm nights. You’ll also find guidance on how long you can keep a baby monitor on, and what to watch for if your infant drinks too quickly.

All the information is written in plain English, with real‑life examples you can relate to – like the moment you realized your newborn needed a car seat from the hospital, or the first time you tried a new stroller without a swaddle. No jargon, just useful pointers you can act on today.
