💚Give me an E-I-E-I-O! 👩‍🌾
💛This week in class we will be heading on down to Old MacDonald’s Farm 🐷 🐮 🐴 🐔
💚We’re going to meet some very noisy animals and learn how to sign their names, see three adventurous little fish go swimming, fly some beautiful butterflies around and babies will enjoy a relaxing little piggy foot massage.

💛Hello Baby babies I’ve got some animals for you too but yours are a little bit wilder!! It’s all things Tummy and Chest this week for my newborns.

🎄This is your warning….. it sounds like a super fun festive idea….. but you’re stuck with that elf year after year…..and it involves a lot of getting out of bed once you’ve gone to bed because you’ve forgotten to do the flipping elf!! And as parents we do enough getting out of a bed that we’ve just got into!!!!!!!!!

💚Its getting to that time of year where we need to bundle up our babies for the winter 🥶

💛This is great for being outdoors, but we need to be really careful when putting them into their car seats to make sure that they stay safe in an accident 🚗

💚The car seats internal harness cannot be tightened correctly when your baby is wearing a thick jacket or snowsuit. In the event of an accident or harsh braking, the puffiness or extra material of the winter coat is compressed, so there is much more space for movement within the harness than is safe

💛We have showed this with a series of pictures

💚Photo 1 - our baby has a chunky snowsuit on which means the straps can’t be tightened correctly to his body and the hood makes it difficult to correctly place the shoulder straps

💛Photo 2 - shows exactly the same harness setting as before, this time without the snowsuit - look at how loose the straps are (and how sad he is to realise this 😭)

💚Photos 3 & 4 - show how close correctly fitted straps should be to our babies body, flat to his chest with the shoulder straps nice and smooth

💛Photo 5 - close up of the buckle lying flat against his body

💚Photo 6 - making sure our baby remains snug as bug in a blanket OVER the straps
You should only be able to fit 2 fingers under the straps when they are tight enough to be safe

💛To keep warm in the car:-

Only use footmuffs specifically designed for your babies car seat
Put a jacket over them after buckling up
Use a blanket
Remember we should also remove hats and hoods in the car to stop our babies overheating

It may take a few extra minutes in our already busy lives but our babies are too precious to risk it 💙 ❤️

💚Thank you as always to the parents who help us with amazing pictures to support our safety features x

👶🏻Today is World Prematurity Day👶🏻
💚I’m the mummy of a prem baby, born spontaneously at 34 weeks. We were lucky enough to bring him home just a few days later, but I have met so many babies in class who haven’t had such a smooth start ... weeks in NICU, and many more hospital visits.
💛I have had many precious premature babies join us at Baby Sensory over the years, some even joining us before their due date, and there is nothing more rewarding than to see them grow, develop, engage and respond... laugh and make friends! I would LOVE to see your little premature babies ‘then and now’ pictures! I’ll start with mine...
