  • How many books should a 1yr old have?

    And by books I mean board or cloth books. I put away my paper picture books very early on when I realised that they wouldn’t last long with a baby that likes to rip and chew. So I’m not counting those. Our board books are a mix of gifts, shop bought books and charity shop »more

  • Who calms you down…

    “Who calms you down when you get a fright?” is another line from my Who Loves You Baby cloth book. Only a few things in the early months made our baby boy scream in terror (not just jump in fright). Number one was the train that passes our flat four or five times a day. »more

  • Ben’s Pretty Pictures

    A few weeks before Ben’s first birthday I introduced him to chalk. I had bought a box of chunky washable sidewalk chalk and that box was going to be the big kids’ entertainment at his birthday party. No clowns or musical chairs, just lots of bare concrete and a big box of chalk. Of course »more

  • Ben & his book of wheels

    A book of wheels for our wheel-obsessed boy! I’ve been told that this kind of obsession is normal. Especially for boys. (Why wheels? I’d love to know.) Here is just one of the many videos I have of our baby boy going gaga over his colourful, chewable, crinkly book of wheels. If you have or »more

  • Who takes you to the toilet…

    Yes, there’s a line in the original version of “Who Loves You Baby” cloth book that says “Who takes you to the toilet day or night”. This refers to infant toileting, also known as elimination communication. It’s something we do at home part-time. I hold baby on the toilet when he wakes in the morning »more

  • Who carries you around…

    Another line from the “Who Loves You Baby” cloth book asks, “Who carries you around like a kangaroo?” We did, but unfortunately not for the first six weeks. I had been given a ring sling, and had made a stretchy wrap, but I didn’t have much success using either. And a carrier that works and »more

  • Who sings and reads…

    “Who sings and reads everyday to you?” is another line from the “Who Loves You Baby” cloth book. A friend of mine, who works as a teacher/librarian, stressed the importance of these two activities when she came to visit me and our newborn. Make sure you read and sing to him everyday, she said.

  • It’s a FACT – Babies EAT books!

    Cloth books for babies are nothing new. The fact that babies eat books is not new either. But, as a new mum, I’ve only recently discovered both cloth books and babies. As a primary school teacher I have a love of reading and a firm belief that children need to be exposed to books early. »more
