23.01.2022 Like leaps and sleep regressions, teething is one of those things that can totally mess with your baby and hence, your plans. Teething might actually take the cake when it comes to baby brain bogglers, because unlike regressions or leaps, they adhere to no real schedule and have no confirmed symptoms but many suspected ones. You can’t stop it, but you can deal with it, and you will get through it. Here’s what to know. https://thememo.com.au//the-mysterious-routine-destroying-
21.01.2022 'Everything changes with pregnancy. Mentally, emotionally, physically and dermatologically i.e. your skin. During pregnancy your complexion can be at it’s best and worst, you can go from needing feather light hydrators to heavy hitting moisturisers and back again. Needless to say, your beauty routine might be flipped on its head, then again, it might not. There are no rules when it comes to pregnancy skin, but there are some common conditions'. To figure out how to handle this period of flux, and define the line of what you should and shouldn’t be doing to your face when you’re pregnant, we asked Rationale's National Education Manager, Katie Matten. She’s basically a skin wizard. Ready now on notepad https://thememo.com.au/blogs/news/navigating-pregnancy-skin

17.01.2022 We've always been about community. And social distancing isn't going to change that. Isolation can be a difficult time for many of us, so we've put together a card to help you spread #ViralKindness from afar. You can place one in a neighbours mailbox, or simply text a photo of the card to friends who you think might need some support. We'll pop a couple in all our orders from this week. Will you help us share this #feelgood message to support the community you're in?
16.01.2022 In her much-discussed podcast interview with Happy Mum, Happy Baby, the Duchess of Cambridge talked about mum guilt, hypnobirthing and the isolation some parents feel after bringing their baby home. The good news is, there are many places you can go to learn, play and connect with other parents and your baby. The Duchess is working to help new parents make that link in the UK, so we decided to straighten our tiaras and do the same for Australia.

14.01.2022 Mother’s Day is going to be a little different this year, because the world is a little different this year. It’s the age of #isolife, which, as many mums are discovering, ain’t all that different from new-mum-life: you stay in, you eat everything in the fridge, you watch a lot of Netflix, but now it feels like all your lifelines are cut off: grandparents, playgrounds, long strolls around Woolworths and blessed visits from people you love. For any mum who was just getting to ...the point that they could have a night out, or mums-to-be who were hoping to make the most of their pre-baby weekends, it’s a blow for sure. We encourage venting, grieving and letting it go. Focus on the good, practice gratitude and style your Mother’s Day gifting requests as two parts: what you need now and what you want when isolation is no longer a thing. To inspire your own wish list, we asked some brilliant new mums and mums-to-be what they want - what they really, really want.https://thememo.com.au/blogs/news/what-women-want See more
14.01.2022 There’s a plethora of cute baby stuff out there. A whole Pinterest-worthy industry full of it. It’s not uncommon for first-time parents-to-be to fill drawers with detailed little outfits in fancy fabrics, only to have the baby arrive and realise that dressing a tiny, fresh human is hard, and all you really want to put them in is the easiest, softest and quickest options. Those cute little hand wash only outfits never come out of the drawer. Sad but true. Don’t let that disc...ourage you (or the Instagram account you may or may not be planning to open in your child’s name), there will be plenty of time for bows and braces and asymmetrical cuts down the track, but for those first months you want to keep it simple. We’ve curated the best babywear essentials the ones that will get worn, washed and worn again so that you fill those drawers with outfits you’ll use and nothing you won’t. Here’s what you actually need to dress your newborn. https://thememo.com.au//what-you-actually-need-to-dress-a-

11.01.2022 'Having a baby changes everything, but it really redefines your social life. Suddenly, leaving the house requires a runsheet and when you do it’s for parks, libraries or the Westfield play area rather than sample sales, Pilates or dinner. It can feel isolating, trying to find the new you. Which is what inspired Lauren Kozica to start The Ring Around, I found that I was either lurking around playgrounds talking pumpkin puree and nap schedules, or I was drinking 10 margaritas ...in a dark, loud restaurant, deliberately avoiding kid chat. I wanted to create an environment where I could still be Lauren, mum of two boys, sleep deprived and a little anxious, and connect with other parents and engage in an activity that didn't relate to raising mini humans. As the ringleader of new parents finding their new social butterfly wings, we asked Lauren to share a wise word or two on getting out of the house, booking the babysitters and making new parent friends.'

07.01.2022 'Parents around the globe are singing the same tune: stay at home life is a lot. Among the problems it presents access to support, access to supplies, lack of normal routine, loss of income, health risks social development is top of mind for a lot of parents. If you’ve built a routine around outings, playgroups, friends, family, grandparents and daycare, to be suddenly at home all day, every day, with nothing on the agenda, is hard on you, but is it also hard on your little one? With the usual interactions off the menu, here’s what you need to know about staying social while staying at home. And no, you don’t need to buy them a puppy'.

06.01.2022 'There is every possible thing imaginable available for babies. From newborn-sized designer shoes, to a sensor that alerts you when your baby has pooed, to bins that cling wrap every dirty nappy, turning it into a hard, shiny, never-degradable packet (they’re bestsellers). Majority of these things either won’t get used, are totally unnecessary, or are simply baby-branding something you already have. You know, like a bin. Once the baby arrives, you at least have a reference po...int, but when you’re prepping, it’s particularly hard to navigate what’s a must-have and what’s insane. We know you’re conscious of excessive waste and the ecological impact of nesting (so are we!), so we’ve compiled our gold-star advice for parents-to-be who want to turn prepping into a time of upcycling, smart-shopping and benefiting the community. Honestly, it can be done'. Read Eco-Friendly Ways to Prepare for a Baby on notepad now https://thememo.com.au//eco-friendly-ways-to-prepare-for-a See more

02.01.2022 'Pregnancy is a time of rapid physical change, for you, and the baby you’re carrying. It’s a thing of beauty, for sure, but it’s also something many women feel hugely anxious about. Sure, you’re thinking about how it will feel to be a mum and what your baby will look like, but you also spend a lot of time wondering if your vagina will be OK, if you’ll ever run for the bus again or ever not resemble a beach ball. The physical aspects of pregnancy are all-consuming at times bec...ause they are great and have a huge impact on your day-to-day. One way to ease the mind-mess is to know you’re doing all the right things by your bod. To find out the right things we ask all our questions to female fitness expert Lizzie Bland. Lizzie is an ex-dancer, qualified pre- and post-natal exercise instructor and founder of Sydney’s female-only workout haven Lean Bean Fitness'.

02.01.2022 When you have a brand new baby, or you’re growing one, asking what will you be like? is one of the nicer questions to ponder - especially when the world seems to be going down the toilet. We don’t have a magic mirror, portal to the future or the ability to give a foetus the Myer Briggs test (shame, we’d make a fortune!), so instead we’ve turned to the stars. About as accurate as a detailed birth plan and pulled together by someone who religiously reads horoscopes (but is not an astrologer), BEHOLD, your baby's personality revealed. https://thememo.com.au//your-baby-s-personality-according-
02.01.2022 All pregnancies are unique, but being pregnant amid COVID-19, is particularly different. Hey Tiger Chief Brand Officer Mirte van der Lugt is one woman experiencing this. She’s 16 weeks pregnant with her first child (a boy!) In the beginning, I was freaking out, she says. There’s a lot of unknowns and it’s tough! But then I thought about how all that stress and anxiety isn’t good for my boy. Everything I feel, he feels and I don’t want him to think of the outside world as a worrying place. I knew I needed to let it go. Mirte has decided exactly how to she wants to handle her pregnancy-amid-pandemic. She will be rational, grateful, positive and community-minded, so we hit her up for some advice. Read the interview now on notepad. https://thememo.com.au//keeping-calm-and-hitting-the-secon
