2011-06-14T12:33:00.001+01:00

Around 25% of new mums give birth by caesarean and whilst C-Sections are extremely low-risk operations, techniques have been honed through a wealth of experience, meaning safer anaesthetics, smaller scars and faster recovery. It’s still major abdominal surgery though and whilst your visiting midwife or health visitor will regularly check your scar; Theraline’s Caesarean Belt will provide soothing relief. It will also provide all the comfort and support you need physically and mentally - for a speedy recovery.

A lot of women worry about bonding with their baby after a caesarean but Theraline’s Caesarean Belt will give you the confidence to enjoy the same important bonding as other mums. You’ll feel protective of your scar and anxious of knocks and rubbing, but the belt’s lightweight protective shield will guard against baby kicks and accidental bumps. The polyfibre pillow with its insulation properties is tailored for superior comfort and will pad your scar against chaffing underwear. Made in a soft, stretchy fabric with adjustable back elastic, you’ll get extra comfort even if you’re bending. It can also be worn either under or over your clothes.

ALEX GERRARD USED DR BROWN'S!

2011-05-09T15:10:00.001+01:00

Did you know that Alex Gerrard and her football ace husband Steven
used Dr Brown's to feed their children when they were both babies? Or
that UK Health Care Professionals are so impressed with Dr Browns
Natural Flow Feeding Bottles that 9 out of 10 directly recommend the
brand to parents?*

The range comprises bottles, teats trainer cups, cleaning products and
accessories and with sharp new packaging, the unique two-piece vent
system inside the bottle is now blue, making it much more visibly
prominent.

As Alex says in the recent Mother & Baby feature, 'They really saved
my life as a new mum. They are anti-colic and helped soothe both my
girls'. Dr Brown's minimise problems that may arise from feeding,
letting babies feed much more comfortably as many of the sources of
discomfort such as bubbles in the feed and vacuum build up within the
bottle are immediately eliminated. This helps in turn to reduce any
colic symptoms, burping, wind, fluid in the ear and even teat
collapse. This is one reason why health care professionals believe the
brand should be used for all bottle-fed babies, not just for those who
have developed colic.

Dr Brown’s goal is to provide the best technology-driven products
available whether a baby is fed on expressed breast milk or infant
formula. To find out more and to buy on line visit Facebook Dr Browns

CHOOSING A BABY BOTTLE – IT HAS TO BE DR BROWN’S!

2011-04-05T11:36:00.001+01:00

UK Health Care Professionals love Dr Browns Natural Flow Feeding Bottles. That’s why 9 out of 10 directly recommend the brand to parents*. Now smartly repackaged, the range comprises bottles, teats trainer cups, cleaning products and accessories. There’s a more comprehensive explanation as to how the bottle works, health tips and details regarding the research behind the brand, making the feeding system a whole lot clearer for parents. And as well as sharp new packaging, the unique two-piece vent system inside the bottle is blue, making it much more visibly prominent.

Widely recognised by both parents and HCPs as an effective way of minimising problems that arise from feeding, Dr Brown’s Natural Flow lets babies feed much more comfortably as many of the sources of discomfort such as bubbles in the feed and vacuum build up within the bottle are immediately eliminated. This helps in turn to reduce any colic symptoms, burping, wind, fluid in the ear and even teat collapse.

Historically the brand has been perceived as a ‘problem – solution’ bottle, but now HCPs believe it should be used for all bottle-fed babies, not just for those who have developed colic. This way parents can avoid any feeding issues from arising in the first place and it may also eliminate the need to further invest in other different bottle brands, medicinal relief or specialist formulas for their babies.

Dr Brown’s goal is to provide the best technology-driven products available whether a baby is fed on expressed breast milk or infant formula. The bottles are robust and substantial; the wide grip makes them really easy to hold – essential at feeding time. They are simple to assemble; each bottle comes with a small brush, ideal for cleaning the smaller components. All parts are safe to use in the dishwasher.

NEW TRAINER CUPS FROM DR BROWN’S

2011-03-31T14:27:00.001+01:00

Encourage your baby to move from a bottle to a cup with one of Dr Brown’s new brightly coloured interchangeable trainer cups. Healthcare Professionals recommend babies make the transition around 6 months old, so let your baby make the move with one of Dr Brown’s starter cups.

To complement weaning, Dr Brown’s trainer cups will help babies stay hydrated whether at home or on the move. They are really clever too, with a unique technology; a sip-activated valve that keeps the cup spill-proof whilst providing easy flow of liquid when baby drinks. As they are mouth activated, there’s no mess when baby isn’t drinking. The development behind the training cups was based on technology typically found in scuba gear – the valve in the cup that releases liquid is similar to the valve that a diver uses to take a breath!

The super soft silicone spouts on the 180ml/6oz makes drinking really easy and doesn’t cause any trauma on baby’s delicate gums. There’s even a hard-spout on the 270ml/9 oz cup too, ideal for teething babies.

BPA free, all parts of the Dr Brown’s trainer cups are completely interchangeable so you can even create your own collection. Health Professionals love them too - being sip-activated means baby doesn’t have to suck hard so there is no detrimental effect on their teeth. And because they’re non-spill, easy to assemble, fill and clean these super-sippers will be a favourite of yours too!

Sip-Activated Valve
All parts are interchangeable Dr Brown’s is the only brand to offer soft-to-hard tip conversion parts.
Soft-Spout is 100% silicone, which helps transition from bottle to cup
Hard-Spout is ideal for teething babies
Spill-proof – the only cup available that draws liquid back from the outlet when drinking stops.
Easy to assemble, fill & clean. Dishwasher safe, top rack only.
RRP £5.10

Available in Mothercare, Boots (from end of June) and other leading independent stockists www.drbrowns.co.uk

A complete feeding system for happier babies

With a large range of products deigned to minimise some of the problems that arise from feeding, it’s no wonder that Dr Brown’s has become widely recognised by parents and health professionals as very effective for minimising problems with colic. Click here http://www.drbrowns.co.uk/bottleDemo.html to see how Dr Brown’s Natural Flow Feeding System works.

Feeding problems can often be a common cause of distress, but Dr Brown’s Natural Flow Feeding System, with its fully vented vacuum free feeding bottle is an effective way of preventing baby’s colic symptoms. The gentle and continuous flow of liquid created by the vent removing the vacuum reduces the amount of air swallowed during feeding so helping to reduce windy colic symptoms.

Dr Brown's Natural Flow® provides the following health benefits:

• Unique internal vent eliminates the vacuum and air bubbles, to help reduce colic and burping.

• By eliminating the negative pressure, it can help reduce build up of fluid in baby's ear and even teat collapse.

• Dr Brown’s goal is to provide the best technology-driven products available whether a baby is fed on expressed breast milk or infant formula. The gentle and continuous flow of liquid created by the vent in the bottle removing the vacuum, has also been shown to be advantageous to babies who are being weaned from breast to bottle feeding as the ‘positive pressure design’ mimics the flow of breast feeding. So if you’ve struggled to switch between breastfeeding and bottle feeding, Dr Brown’s Natural Flow will make the whole process smoother.

SAVE MONEY WITH REAL NAPPIES

2011-03-03T15:00:00.001Z

In this economic climate saving money is at the forefront of every parents’ mind. Using washable nappies rather than disposables is one way of saving, even taking in to account the washing costs and wear and tear on your washing machine. Disposable nappies are expensive and that money literally goes straight into the bin – with the nappies filling up landfills. For example, if you spend on average of £5 a week at the supermarket on disposable nappies for two and a half years (130 weeks), you will spend £650. That's 4,500 nappies at 14.4 pence each. If you buy 'eco-disposables' at £17 per week you will spend £2,210. That's 4,500 nappies at 49p each. If you buy washable nappies you may spend between £120 and £300 depending on the system you choose. You will spend about £1 per week on washing, so add a further £130. If you use disposable liners you will spend on average £2.50 per month, so add a further £75.

In total you will spend between £325 and £505 on washable nappies from birth to potty. There’s another saving too, reusable nappies can be used for more than one baby and the added advantage is that you always have nappies handy - no dashing off to the supermarket.*

Reusable nappies have come a long way since the days of nappy pins, sweaty plastic pants and boiling terry nappies. Today’s parents are choosing nappies such as the award winning bumGenius one-size cloth nappy. They perform well, are shaped to fit and come in a dazzling array of colours.

Have a look too at Flip, a One-Size reusable nappy system from the bumGenius collection. It’s kind on your pocket and the environment too, and is possibly the most flexible and versatile nappy system ever! It’s easy to use and fits effortlessly around the demands of your daily life. You can choose from Flip Stay Dry, Flip Organic or the revolutionary Flip Disposable. There’s a soft one size cover that grows with your baby and the choice of three ultra absorbent inserts that let you customise the nappy for work, home and play.

· Flip Stay Dry insert is made of three absorbent layers of microfiber and smooth stay-dry suede that wicks away moisture from baby's bum, keeping her drier for longer.

· Flip Organic Inserts are very soft, ultra-absorbent and made from 100% Oeko-Tex certified organic cotton.

· Flip One-Size Disposable The first ever biodegradable (97% biodegradable, most eco disposables are only 60%) disposable insert to be fully Oeko-Tex approved.

For a nappy solution for every budget there’s Econobum featuring Iform fitting elastic, and an easy to use snap system and a durable waterproof cover. Forget on-going nappy expenses because this birth to potty kit costs just £89.00.

If you want to save money and you care about the environment it’s worth considering using real nappies. Visit www.babame.com for the bumGenius collection, advice and information.

FOR A BETTER ALL ROUND UNDERSTANDING OF BABIES' COLIC

2011-02-14T11:49:00.001Z

The Colic Report

There is no known cure for colic and the condition is often not particularly well understood, as mum can't see a reason why her healthy baby won’t stop crying. Additionally, mothers often don't know what to do about their baby’s colicky symptoms or who to turn to. In order to get a better all round understanding of colic.

Consumer Analysis Ltd. were asked to carry out an independent survey to ask mums:

•To describe the symptoms of colic in babies.

•If their baby experienced colic.

•If they felt concern about giving medicine to small babies to try and ease colic.

•What bottle brand they used during baby’s early months and what bottle brand they were using if/when baby developed colic.

•To describe their emotions and experience when their baby developed colic.

•Where mothers turned for advice.

•What mothers with colicky babies tried to relieve symptoms and if the symptoms improved.

•If mum decided to switch bottle brands as a solution, which brand she switched to and if it was effective.

Acupressure for Natural Pain Relief in Labour

2011-02-01T15:43:00.001Z

An instructional DVD for pregnant women & their support people

with Debra Betts & Tom Kennedy

If you’re pregnant and looking for a better birth experience, at last there’s a professionally produced instructional DVD/download offering a detailed explanation of acupressure in labour for both you and your support people.

The acupressure methods outlined in the DVD are really easy to use, promote natural birth and encourage close partner involvement. As a mum-to-be you need to know that acupressure is safe. Unlike acupuncture where needles are used, acupressure applies physical pressure to specific acupressure points using the thumbs, fingers, hands, elbows, or with various other devices on the surface of the body. Acupressure may also control pain during child birth and support your body as it proceeds towards labour: Your baby too can derive many benefits from acupressure. For example, it can encourage the baby into the most optimal position for birth.

The Acupressure for Natural Pain Relief in Labour DVD also includes testimonials from women and their partners who have used the techniques and comes with an illustrated 16 page booklet reminding you of the points and their application.

Contents include:

· About Acupressure

· Using acupressure appropriately

· A few words for support people

· How to find the eight acupressure points

· Using the points effectively

· Baby in breech or posterior position

· Failure to progress

· Emotional stress during labour

· Nausea, after pains, breastfeeding, postnatal recovery and other problems during and after pregnancy

· Running time: 34 minutes

· RRP £17.99 (Download available soon at £15.99)

· DVD available on line from www.jcm.co.uk/acupressure & www.amazon.co.uk

· Sign up for Facebook to connect with Acupressure for Natural Pain Relief in Labour. Acupressure for Natural Pain Relief in Labour

Editor’s Notes: Debra Betts is an acupuncturist and educator based in Wellington, New Zealand. She has been teaching women, their support people and midwives the techniques demonstrated on this DVD since 1992. Her teaching of acupressure has in this time spread from classes held in her private clinic to international acupuncture and midwifery workshops. Tom Kennedy is an acupuncturist based in Bristol, UK. He has a special interest in treating pregnancy related conditions, and teaches Debra’s acupressure techniques to pregnant women and their support people.

NB: All the Acupressure techniques are fully demonstrated on the DVD and are ideal for pregnant women and their birth partners, practitioners of acupuncture, acupressure, shiatsu and massage, doulas, midwives as well as birth helpers.

SWITCHING BABY’S BOTTLE SHOWN TO EASE THE SYMPTOMS OF COLIC

2010-08-24T10:15:00.001+01:00

EMBARGOED FOR RELEASE UNTIL 24^thAUGUST 2010

A recent colic survey carried out by Consumer Analysis Ltd., revealed that the third most common treatment for baby’s colicky symptoms, after giving medicine and using massage, was to change the feeding bottle used to another brand.

Of the 28% of mums who changed their baby’s bottle to an alternative brand, 43% chose Dr Brown’s Natural Flow feeding system as their number one choice. Amazingly, three quarters, (75%) who used this brand went on to report an improvement in their baby’s colic symptoms, a result completely outperforming all the other brands used. 35% also stated that it worked instantly – after just one feed with over half, (53%) seeing an improvement within a day in their baby’s colicky symptoms.

The survey also revealed that almost half of all babies in the UK will suffer with colic in their early weeks and months, yet the condition still remains poorly understood. There is no known cure for colic but there are a wide range of medicinal remedies available which the survey revealed were not always welcomed by mums. In fact, 46% of them reported they were concerned about giving medicine to such young babies.

The constant crying associated with ‘colicky’ babies proved distressing for parents, with the study revealing that many parents failed to understand why their well-fed and healthy baby wouldn’t stop crying. It showed that even if they did recognise that their baby had colic many didn’t know what to do about it or who to turn to.

Many mums reported getting very different messages from their health professionals on how to treat their baby’s colic. Seemingly unable to agree on the best course of action to take, some GP’s avoided prescribing medicines altogether, whilst others believed it to be the best solution. Many recommended gripe water and rubbing the baby’s tummy or back. Subsequently, frustrated and sleep-deprived mums reported being left to their own devices, trying out multiple different ‘cures’. Some of the more obscure remedies noted included, boiling cumin seeds and giving the baby the water, while some breast-feeding mums had tried drinking fennel tea to solve the problem.

Mums who opted to change their bottles to Dr Brown’s Natural Flow feeding system also reported that their baby appeared not to be sucking in as much air as with other brands. Many said that they had tried all sorts of colic remedies to no avail before switching to this brand. Improvements were seen with some of the other brands of bottles used, but often mums couldn’t be certain if it was the bottle that had made the difference or not, as they were using other ‘methods’ at the same time, such as anti colic teats, drops or medicine. However, they did report that Dr Brown’s Natural Flow had resulted in the quickest improvements, noticing a marked difference after an average of 5.4 feeds.

Key findings revealed:

o Dr Brown’s Natural Flow was the first choice (43%) for mums changing their baby’s bottle to relieve the symptoms of colic.

o Three quarters of babies with colic (75%) whose mums changed to Dr Brown’s Natural Flow saw improvement in their colicky symptoms after their bottles were changed.

o Only two out of five mums with young babies (42%) could correctly name one or more of the symptoms of colic.

o According to mums in the survey, the most well known sign of colic is the baby’s legs curling up to their stomach (26%), followed by long periods of crying (23%).

o Colic led 62% of mums to be frustrated that they couldn’t solve the problem, 29% felt that the crying caused a lot of stress in the household an a fifth (20%) felt guilty because they thought that they were doing something wrong.

o Concerned mums were more likely to turn to their health visitor than their mum for advice about their colicky baby (47% vs. 29%).

Bambino Merino a 100% totally natural merino range

2010-06-11T14:08:00.001+01:00

Bambino Merino, first launched in the UK in 2005, is now firmly
established as the country’s leading brand of 100% merino baby
sleeping bags. As a direct result of their products, thousands of
babies (and their parents!) in the UK and around the world are
enjoying longer, safer, more restful sleep.

In an increasingly synthetic world it's totally understandable that
parents would rather choose to use natural, safe products for their
children. Bambino Merino’s luxurious range of sleeping bags and
natural baby wear include sleep suits, body suits, pyjamas and
swaddling wraps all made from the finest merino wool, an ecological,
pure fabric.

Merino wool hasn’t been developed by a scientist in a sterile
laboratory. It’s evolved naturally! And whilst new man-made fibres
continue to be developed, the newcomers can’t touch Merino for
all-round performance.

Lightweight and silky soft, fine merino is perfectly suited to wearing
next to delicate skin. Breathable natural fibres regulate body
temperature, keeping baby comfortable, safe and warm - but never too
hot - in all seasons. Creating a microclimate around baby it will keep
them warm and comfortable throughout the night without the risk of
overheating. Designed specifically to be worn in all seasons, it also
eliminates the constant worry over whether baby is too hot or cold.

Visit www.bambinomerino.com to see their full range, as well as the
new longer length sleeping bag for toddlers. More information &

NEW THERALINE BABY PILLOW

2010-06-08T13:56:00.001+01:00

The new

THERALINE® Baby Pillow is the only baby pillow available that is safe to use with a newborn baby. It offers comfort and safety during sleep and, combined with this, will help to preserve baby’s natural head shape avoiding flat head syndrome. Due to clever manufacturing and materials used, it allows air to pass through the pillow and won’t cause breathing problems if the baby pushes their face against it. Anatomically shaped it uses perforated high-tech fabric to support baby’s delicate head evenly and effectively. Three different types of breathable fabric are used to maintain an even temperature around baby’s head. (It’s the first of its kind not to use memory foam which can lead to overheating, suffocation and the breathing of dangerous fumes). Suitable for ages: 0 – 12 months RRP £19.90. www.theraline.co.uk Samples & images from us info@pjpartnership.co.uk t: 01273 554018 www.pjpartnership.co.uk
