Babies love to sleep. Unfortunately for new mums and dads however, this doesn’t always mean through the night! Thankfully our little ones make up their quota of sleep through much-needed naps – and plenty of them. These regular snippets of sleep are a necessary part of every baby’s routine.  Not only do they provide some essential downtime from all that feeding and wriggling around, they allow a little respite for mums and dads too.

Making beds isn’t difficult. It’s just one more job that needs to be done - and the earlier each day, the better. However, the simplicity of bed making renders it the type of activity that can help promote independence in a child and as such, is often the first ‘chore’ they will learn. The smallest achievements can mean a lot to a child, especially when they come with heaps of praise and a huge sense of pride as a result! Many children savour such attention and will jump at the chance of impressing their parents with a neatly made bed, while others may flatly refuse to have a go. S..

Bedtime. An hour in the evening that is often cherished by parents, thanks to sleepy heads, cosy cuddles and ultimately…. peace! In theory, bedtime should be a lovely, relaxing affair.

It’s certainly true that for some parents bedtime is a breeze. For others however, it lingers in the mind all day long in anticipation of a complete and utter disaster – yet again. If you happen to fall into the latter bracket and need a nudge to get thin..

Why is it an issue? A child’s bedroom usually has more clutter, clothes and knick-knacks than any other area of the home.

However, seeing as that isn’t likely to happen any time soon, perhaps it might be wise to look at how you can maximise space and storage in your child’s bedroom instead!     How much space do you have? The size and shape of your available space is key to d..

As adults we are slaves to a good night’s sleep and those of us who aren’t lucky enough to always enjoy such a luxury will stop at nothing until we do! So if we are so obsessed with the idea of uninterrupted slumber, knowing exactly how the lack of sleep affects our mood, energy levels and performance, spare a thought for our growing children. They have developing minds and bodies to cope with not to mention school work, extracurricular activities and any other ‘life pressures’ that little ones so often feel but can’t articul..

As the seasons change along with the weather, it’s always a good idea to make sure your child’s bedding is suitable for a comfortable night’s sleep.

Aside from the heat, there are other considerations to take into account, not least allergies, which can often be at their worst during the summer months…     Hypoallergenic children’s bedding If your child suffers from asthma or allergies, we have the ideal beddin..
