  Feeding a newborn is a bonding experience, but it’s also a physical task that can wear parents out quickly. That’s where a nursing pillow comes in. It cushions the body, lifts the baby into a better position, and makes the whole process a little easier. Breastfeeding or bottle-feeding, it can help turn stressful moments into more comfortable ones. Positioning Is Everything Start by finding a steady chair with back support. Sit upright with feet flat on the floor. Wrap the nursing pillow around the waist, so it sits snug against the body. The pillow should lift the baby up to chest level. If parents lean forward or hunch, it defeats the purpose. The idea is to bring the baby up to the parent’s level, not the other way around. Find the Right Hold Depending on feeding style, here are a few popular positions: Cradle Hold: The baby lies across the lap. A go-to for older babies. Football Hold: Tucks the baby beside the body. Often used after a C-section or during early feeding days. Cr...

 For new parents, even the smallest decisions, like which baby lotion to buy, can feel monumental and honestly, they should. A newborn’s skin is thinner, more permeable, and far more reactive than adult skin, which means the ingredients you rub into it truly matter. It’s not just about dry patches or baby-soft cheeks. It’s about building healthy skin barriers, preventing irritation, and protecting that delicate surface from harsh, hidden chemicals. What Makes a Lotion “Safe” for Babies? Not all baby lotions are created equal. Some are packed with fillers and artificial fragrances masked behind calming branding. A truly baby-safe lotion should: Use natural moisturisers like shea butter, jojoba oil, or aloe vera Be free of parabens, phthalates, and artificial dyes Avoid heavy petroleum-based occlusives unless recommended by a pediatrician Be fragrance-free or gently scented with essential oils (like lavender or chamomile) Have a short, transparent ingredient list. If you can’t pronou...

 Getting a baby’s sleep space right is about more than pretty linen or matching bumpers. It’s about making comfort, safety, and ease come together—especially in those early weeks when rest feels fragile, for both the baby and the caregiver. Here are five simple but essential bedding tips that can make a real difference. Keep It Clear and Simple For newborns, a minimalist crib setup is safer. Doctors often advise placing the baby on a firm mattress with just a fitted sheet. No toys, bumpers, quilts, or pillows. These may look sweet in photos but can increase the risk of suffocation or overheating.  Instead, try this: use a snug cotton sheet, dress the baby in a wearable blanket, and leave the rest of the crib empty. This bare style might seem plain, but it helps the baby sleep more soundly, and keeps them safer through the night. Choose Fabrics That Breathe Babies aren’t great at regulating their temperature. That’s why bedding made from lightweight, breathable fabric matters. ...
