New Parents- Why You Need to Get in the Photo!

Nursing Clothes, Shrewsbury- Where to Buy in store and online

From 3 to 4- Preparing your toddler for the arrival of a sibling

Where to find Maternity Wear- Shrewsbury

Coping with baby reflux- our experience
Emily was our first. She's now very almost 5 and it seems the reflux days are almost behind us. But, when she was tiny, things were all a bit crazy and reflux played a big part of our day to day lives. Reflux is so common, especially in babies born prematurely, and is...

Baby Groups Shrewsbury

It Takes a Village…

What to Buy for Baby -My Favourite Baby Buys. By Shrewsbury Photographer, Victoria J Photography
I remember, when I was pregnant with Emily, being so excited to start buying things for the nursery, little outfits and other ‘necessities’. And then when we were finally ready to start looking for things, I felt completely overwhelmed. Until I started looking I had no idea of the absolutely huge amount of baby products that are on the market. And, of course, like most expectant mummies, I had no idea what I needed or didn’t need.
So with that in mind I wanted to share with you some of my absolute favourite buys that we had for our two little monkeys (aside from the usual stuff). Some of which we purchased before they arrived, but most of which we got whilst they were here. Surprisingly, a lot of the stuff I thought we needed before we had a baby didn’t make it onto the list!
