Urgh. I've been there, almost every parent has been in the same boat. Night waking is tough to get used to. Pre-babies, I used to work night shifts.

Whether big or small, round or pointy, firm or soft - did you know that only one in three women is satisfied with her breasts, according to an international team of researchers? However, we all naturally want our breasts/chest to stay healthy. And for that, it is important that we consciously dedicate ourselves to our breasts/chest. On February 4th, World Cancer Day, we're reminded of the importance of Breast Cancer Awareness. Ergobaby proudly supports Pink Ribbon Belgium, a nonprofit dedicated to combating breast cancer. Apart from the fact that your breasts are an important part of you and simply deserve to be loved, it is also the case that six out of 10 breast cancers are discovered by women themselves.

The new year has begun and naturally you may be thinking about what you want to achieve this year in terms of resolutions. Many of us have two main goals on our list: exercise, and healthy food choices.
Being physically active can support you in reducing the natural weight gained during pregnancy, develop brain health, reduce risk of disease, improve bone, and muscle quality and enhance your ability to do everyday activities. This is important as your little one begins to grow, becoming heavier and stronger, you will need the strength and energy to keep up with them.
Finding time to exercise can be challenging especially at the start of your parenting journey. When you are feeling tired, being active may seem like the last thing you want to do. Regular activity can relax you, keep you fit and help you feel more energetic. It can also help your body recover

Hohoho, it's finally here again - the most magical time of the year. However, it can be a busy time too! Between the hustle and bustle between shopping, going to the Christmas markets, holidays with the family accompanied by the colourful sea of lights of the Christmas decorations can quickly be too much for babies and small children. There is a lot to process, which can affect little one’s sleep. And if there is not enough time to rest because of the many activities during the day, there is no other way for the children to process the many impressions and stimuli in the evening or at night. With toddlers, this can manifest itself in hyperactivity or tantrums, and with the very youngest, not infrequently in an evening screaming concert. To prevent this, we would like to give you our baby sleep guide - the Christmas edition:

With the holiday season around the corner, we asked Sarah Patel, a certified baby and toddler sleep consultant and founder of Teach To Sleep, to provide us with some tips on how we can support our little one’s sleep during the festive period.

All babies and children thrive on routine and consistency so if you can, stick to your usual nap and bedtime routines. It doesn’t have to be the exact routine, for example if your little one usually has a bath as part of their bedtime routine and you are visiting family who don’t have a bath or you arrive too late to do the bath, this isn’t going to impact sleep.
By doing a small part of your bedtime routine your little one will still understand that bedtime is coming. This might be as simple as,
