Just in case anyone needs to hear this!

It's completely normal to feel worried about returning to work after the birth of your baby

However, returning to work can be beneficial for both you and your baby.

Our Founder, and leading parenting expert, Dr Lin Day advises that "working outside the home can have a positive impact on a mother’s health and wellbeing."

She explains that "the stimulation of work and the social aspect of employment can increase the mother’s mental health, sense of control, life satisfaction and morale. In turn, this improves her relationship with the child, and the child’s emotional development."

How are you feeling about returning to work after being on maternity leave?

Want to know how to sign "play"?

As our baby's grow and develop we use the word "play" more often than we realise;

"Would you like to play with this ball?"

"Is it play-time?"

"Let's go and play at the park"

"Grandma is coming to play with you today"

If you don't know how to sign "play", download our Baby Sensory® Signbook app to find out.

The app includes all of the words you use most often with your baby so you can learn the signs for them and practise at your own pace.

Download today.

There are SO many ways you can play with your baby.

You may even be playing with your baby without realising.

Playing with your baby doesn't necessarily have to involve toys.

And it doesn't need to be a planned or prepared activity either.

Playing with your baby might include:

-playing or singing music or nursery rhymes
-reading
-showing your baby props* such as a chiffon scarf, rainbow ribbon or baby safe mirror
-tummy time activities
-splashing in the bath

The most important thing to know is that all types of play will be beneficial to your baby.

*please note that adult supervision is always required when your baby is playing with props and/or toys.

You don’t need to put extra time aside for sensory play with your baby.

Routine activities such as feeding, nappy changing, dressing, bathing, cuddling, carrying and preparing for sleep all provide opportunities for sensory development.

Likewise, any kind of outing including trips to the supermarket, walks in the park, visiting friends and activities such as swimming all stimulate your baby's senses.

To find out more about how to stimulate your baby's sense and sensory play read our latest blog: https://www.babysensory.com/sensoryplayfrombirth

How do you like to play with your baby?

Our Founder, and leading parenting expert, Dr Lin Day is a big advocate of playing with your baby and encouraging your baby to play.

She has done a huge amount of research into baby play and knows just how important it is to a baby's development.

This is because play is how babies learn about the world, themselves, other people and their own culture.

It also lays the foundation for reading, writing, mathematical reasoning, critical thinking, language, and scientific discovery. WOW!

However, it doesn't matter how you play with your baby. Play can be quiet or noisy, energetic, or passive, social, or non-social, relaxed, or serious, imaginative or purposeful. It can involve baby toys or no toys at all!

All types of play will support your baby's development and help them to make sense of the world around them.

Never ever worry about feeding your baby during your Baby Sensory® class.

You are welcome to feed your baby however, wherever and whenever you wish.

It doesn't matter whether you're breastfeeding, formula feeding, combination feeding, feeding sat on the floor, feeding sat on a chair, feeding with a cover-up on, feeding at the start of the class or feeding all the way through the class...
..what's most important is that you and your baby are comfortable and happy ❤️

*For World Breastfeeding Week we've included this fabulous photo of two of our Baby Sensory® class leaders breastfeeding their babies whilst on a recent photoshoot!

Whether you're jetting abroad this summer or staying at home, it's important to help your baby stay cool when temperatures soar.

Here are our 6 top tips for keeping your baby cool this summer:

1. Stay indoors during the hottest part of the day and keep your curtains or blinds closed to prevent your house becoming a mini greenhouse. Keep windows open for ventilation.

2. Dress your baby in as little clothing as possible. If you can, let them play and sleep with just their nappy on. Otherwise lightweight, loose fitting clothing is best.

3. Stay in the shade if you are outdoors. A sun tent can be useful, if you are in an area with not much shade.

4. Encourage your baby to wear a hat to protect their face from the sun and also use sunshades on your pushchair and on car windows to keep the sun off your baby whilst travelling.

5. Keep your baby hydrated. If they are below 6 months they will get all the hydration they need from breast and/or formula milk. For babies over six months, offer them plenty of sips of water and foods with a high water content such as fruit & veg.

6. A cool bath or spending some time in a paddling pool* can be a great way to help your baby cool off.

*please ensure your baby is always supervised by an adult when in, or near, water
