Buying for an unborn baby is always a bit tricky; after all, you have no idea what sex the child will be or how the parents intend to raise their newborn. First time parents will probably have already found themselves swamped with well-meaning advice from friends and relatives by the time the baby shower comes around, so a parenting book which sets out the main points will probably be much appreciated.

On the other hand, some parents may be offended that you thought they needed a parenting book in the first place. If you don’t know the proud parents-to-be very well, it could be wiser to steer clear of anything which is seen as giving unwanted advice, including buying a helpful book.

Toys always seem like the perfect present for children, but most parents will find themselves with piles of stuffed animals by the time their precious bundle arrives and not many practical items. After all, there is plenty of time to buy the child fun gifts as they are growing older; presents at a baby shower are more about helping Mum and Dad.

As anyone who has had kids will tell you, you can never have enough outfits; babies are always needing changed, in more ways than one, and a plentiful supply of all-in-ones, t-shirts and other clothing essentials will always come in handy. It might be an idea to buy clothes a couple of sizes above newborn, just in case Mum has a larger baby. Even if she gives birth to a tiny boy or girl, the slightly bigger clothes will come in handy one day.

There are many more practical gifts that helpful friends and family can buy for new parents; a pram or pushchair is a big expense for Mum and Dad to deal with just as their weekly bills start to go up, while helping to kit out baby’s room with a new cot or even just a set of bedding will be a gift not soon forgotten. Baby monitors have become the latest must-have gadget for new parents, with some of the more expensive models even featuring tiny video cameras.

Not every friend can afford such extravagant gifts at a baby shower, but there are always the traditional options of a simple piece of jewellery or a decorated crockery set to fall back on, if you want to think of something that will be treasured.

Failing that, High Street stores are just as likely to be selling bath sets for babies as they are for adults these days, with baskets featuring bubble bath, shampoo and, of course, a couple of toys to keep children amused while they splash about in the tub.

GNappies have now come up with a hybrid alternative which they say give parents the best of both worlds. This combines a  cloth nappy with a disposable liner and the loner is  simply thrown away and the cloth nappy washed and reused.

Working parents, or those which more than one baby, may still feel that this is time consuming and they would prefer to stick to their disposable nappies, but what many fail to realise is that by changing to these  biodegradable nappies they are having  positive effect on the environment.

Says Kim Graham-Nye, co-founder of gNappies, “Parents genuinely want to do better environmentally and, many are horrified to learn that disposable nappies account for a third of landfill. However, cloth nappies aren’t for everyone – which is why the hybrid option is a great solution. Changing nappies doesn’t have to be such as chore– and the availability of disposable and biodegradable refills means it’s even easier for parents to consider this as a viable option.”

Kim and her husband Jason introduced the hybrid nappy concept after discovering shocking facts about disposable nappies and their impact on the environment. Around 11 million disposable nappies enter UK landfill every day, each taking up to 500 years to decompose and accounting for a third of the world’s landfill.

gNappies gives the option to choose between disposable nappies or cloth nappies – with the disposable element being a gRefill – an insert which is home compostable or can be disposed of in the domestic waste. On a home compost, the gRefill only takes 50 – 100 days to biodegrade, compared with 500 years for a single disposable nappy.

gNappies come in a range of colours, patterns and sizes. The dedicated gNappies UK website - www.gnappies.co.uk – features all the products as well as gBundle starter packs.

While these are popular with some parents, most are still choosing to use cotton cellular blankets as these allow parents to keep their baby at the right temperature in the easiest way. Using many layers of blankets means that they can simply be added or removed as needed. With a sleeping bag you do not have this flexibility and this is why it is not so popular with parents.

If your baby is going to be sleeping in a room that is quite cold then it can be a good idea to use a warm blanket than the traditional cotton type, there are many different fabrics that can be considered for colder temperatures.

Acrylic cellular blankets are better than cotton ones at keeping a child warm and can be a great option for parents with a cold house. Wool blankets are another good option for providing additional warm but these can be harder to wash, if you do choose will make sure that they can be washed in a machine where you are going to be washing a great many sheets by hand.

Sleeping bags do have significant advantages however and one of the most notable of these is that the baby cannot kick them off. A common problem the parents face when using blankets is that the baby will kick off in the night and this can mean they are too cold. A baby cannot put the blankets back over themselves, so parents will be woken to a babies cries and they will have to tuck them back in. If parents choose a sleeping bag this problem can be prevented.

There are sleeping bags designed for newborn babies but most parents prefer to not use them for the first few weeks. If the weather is particularly cold then extra sheets can be added to a sleeping bag to increase its warmth.

There is some safety advice to consider when using a sleeping bag for children and this comes from the Study of Infant Deaths. They say that you should never use a sleeping bag that has a hood or has a neck that is too small and this can mean the baby slips inside the sleeping bag and can suffocate. They also recommend against using wool blankets on top of the sleeping bag as this will cause your baby to overheat.

You should also make sure that you can make your chosen bag is appropriate for the temperature outside. The warmth a sleeping bag provides is measured in togs and you should have a higher top number for the colder months and a lower one in the summer

Duvets are something very popular with adults, but if you are using them with a baby it is best to wait until they are at least one-year-old. Babies will find a duvets are simply too hot for them and they can also restrict their movements. If you choose a duvet make sure that it is made out of only cotton.

The new BEABA 360° weaning spoon .jog

The new spoon from BEABA which has a handle that rotates through a whole 360° ensures that the food will always stay on the spoon, and it will also remain horizontal, regardless of the position that the handle is in.

The innovative design of this 360° Spoon prevents your little ones from spilling their food, even when they are holding it in those positions that only kids do. This inspires confidence and gives them the support they need to be able to feed themselves proficiently.

Once the child is accomplished at feeding themselves, the handle is easily locked into position, this allowing it to be used just as any other regular spoon.

Celebrities such as Michelle Heaton, and Denise Van Outen have already given their seal of approval as a great way of pacifying teething babies stylishly, and Michelle appeared in a photo shoot with her baby wearing her GUMIGEM as it was so pretty and matched her dress.
This amazing new item that enables mums to look good and calm their teething baby at the same time is the brainwave of Jenny McLauchlan, a mum from Dundee and this product is set to be a must have item for all new mums.

A mother herself, Jenny found it impossible to wear a necklace around her baby. Her little nipper would pull and bite on anything that hung from her neck, but instead of resigning herself to a life without accessories, and constantly picking up teething rings off the floor, Jenny had a brain wave. What if she could create a pendant that was safe for baby to put in its mouth but also looked attractive? That’s when GUMIGEM was born.

Featured in her regular column in Prima magazine, Denise Van Outen said: “…I’m loving this GUMIGEM teething necklace. Betsy’s really been suffering with her molars coming through and this is just the right size for her to chomp down on. Great for keeping little hands occupied when I’m holding her, too genius!”

Made of silicone, the GUMIGEM is baby safe, non toxic, and suitable for sterilisation or a dishwasher – basically meeting the same standards as any other teething item. Plus, with a breakaway clasp, even the strongest of little people won’t end-up strangling their mummies.

Also featured in regional national press, some examples include the Scottish Sunday Express, Scottish Televisions The Hour, Insights Magazine and Real People Magazine. Plus Gumigem got a retweet from Theo Paphitis on twitter during his Small Business Sunday session. A recent exhibitor in The Baby Show for Trades Innovation zone, Michelle Heaton chose a Gumigem and said ‘its so pretty and matches my dress!’ we have a beautiful picture of Michelle and her chosen Gumigem

Another market for these necklaces has also emerged, children with sensory processing disorders often need to chew to calm themselves and concentrate. These children love the necklaces as they are discreet and parents love them because they are safe, as such Gumigems little sister Chewigem was born.

With a new Christmas limited edition rage coming soon too!

GUMIGEM necklaces come in a range of designs and are affordably priced between GBP10 and GBP12.50.

Online Maternity Bra Advice Tool from Marks & Spencer

The most iconic of British retailers, Marks & Spencer, have today launched an innovative online advice tool which gives advice to pregnant women on breast health and maternity bras, and is tailored to the exact stage of their pregnancy. It is incredibly simple to access, simply go to the Lingerie area of the www.marksandspencer.com website and access the advice from M&S’s Lingerie Technical Manager Julie Mercer.

Users can them select how many weeks they are into their pregnancy and advice will be generated specifically for that stage, Julia says that all women should have their breasts measured every 6 months to ensure they are wearing the correct sized bra, but these is even more important during pregnancy and a bra fitter should be visited regularly.

She added that with all the other changes going on, the last thing you need is the discomfort of wearing the wrong sized bra, and that this new tool will help pregnant women to identify when they should be getting fitted for a new bra and how important it is to do so.

Recent research by Mintel has suggested that mums-to.be do recognise the importance of wearing a well-fitting maternity bra, and also realise the possible health implications of wearing the wrong sized bra during pregnancy. As M&S are one of the most trusted retailers of underwear in the UK, they hope that their new online tool will give pregnant women all the information they need to purchase the correct maternity underwear.
