Giveaway (Collaborative Post)¦ Whether it’s GCSEs, A Levels or SATs, end of year exams are always stressful for children. It’s important to make sure that they get enough sleep, food and drink in the run up to exams. Try to make sure they don’t study so much that they burn themselves either. Gently remind them that frequent breaks are healthy and actually help the brain to retain more. Perhaps you could buy treats for them to snack on for a boost in these breaks. Another little boost could be some new stationery!

When should you first take baby to the dentist? (+WIN)
So, when should you take your child to the dentist for the first time? There seems to be a lot of misinformation around about when you should take your baby for their first check up. Shortly before Autumn turned 6 months old, I went to a class at one of our local Children’s Centres. As well as learning about weaning, we learnt about dental care too. It turns out that where I’m based in Medway there’s a scheme where babies are given a Medway Smiles passport. It’s encouraged that they first go to the dentist between 6 and 8 months old.
Here’s some more information how to look after your baby’s precious teeth as well as a giveaway! The prizes you’re in with a chance to win will help you to protect those pearly whites.
I quite like Mondays (a post about comping)
“I don’t like Mondays”, sang Bob Geldof in the 1979 The Boomtown Rats song of the same title. Most people would agree with him!
So why do I quite like Mondays?
Well, I’m on maternity leave at the moment, otherwise I’d like Mondays decidedly less. Every other Monday I can get Autumn weighed at clinic, which hasn’t lost its excitement yet – I love seeing how much my little milk monster has grown.
