Emma’s Diary Feature: We Don’t Have A Screen Time Ban, Here’s Why…
Partnering with Emma’s Diary has helped me reach so many prospective parents, newborn mums and toddler handlers. Working with this platform is one of my proudest writing achievements and I love having the opportunity to tackle controversial subjects. Today I’m talking all about screen time – do we ban or cap it in our house? And, do you? Growing up in the ‘90s and noughties, there was no such thing as iPads, iPhones, tablets, or even computers. I remember our first home computer: it was huge, loud, and took up so much room – we much preferred playing with our piano keyboard! I am blessed with lots of nieces and nephews and I’ve worked in…

Emma’s Diary Feature: When Is The Right Time For Baby Number 2?
By now, you know me well. I write all about my parenting journey on my blog and as a parent guest writer for Emma’s Diary. I am the happy (and tired) mum to a wild 15-month-old little boy and right now, life feels good. The crazy overwhelming newborn days are well behind us, he’s weaned and eats pretty much everything. Even his sleeping is more consistent and we’re getting more full nights with zero wake-ups than ever before. Life is good. So, naturally, it has resulted in many people asking me when I will go for baby number 2. It’s also got me thinking about it too… Baby number 2: The General…

Emma’s Diary Feature: How To Cope With The Many Sleep Regressions
One of the most divisive subjects in the world of parenting babies is sleeping – or lack of it. If, like me, during pregnancy, you suffered from lack of sleep and you had droves of people telling you: “just you wait” you’ll love this post. I had my baby and he seemed allergic to sleep! I HATED the “just you wait” people, they drove me insane. I would always reply with a sarcastic comment or an eye roll. This post is the opposite of that; it’s a post created to help you smile when you’re dog-tired, laugh when you’re dreading bedtime, and take a deep breath when sleep feels like a myth. You’ve Had Your Baby,…
