With the holiday season fast approaching, we here at tiddlers & nippers thought it would be good timing to share some of our thoughts and tips on travelling with children! Travelling with children isn’t easy, well let’s face it travelling in general can be challenging! So with little ones in tow, we here at t&n believe it pays to think ahead and to be organised to help the journey go as smoothly as possible so that you don’t arrive feeling stressed at the start of your holiday. 1.      If possible, choose flight times for when your little is due to nap so that (hopefully!) they drop off on board (this doesn’t always work for instance if there is a delay!...

Afternoon All! Here’s our fourth entry into the great wide blog-osphere – This one looks at the oft debated question, ‘is there an ideal age gaps between siblings?' Well the truth is, there’s no perfect gap, is there… if you’re blessed with more than one child, you will always find a way of making whatever age gap work (and do you know what, children of all ages have 1 major thing in common… they all like to play!). However below are some musings from us on some of the benefits associated with larger and smaller age gaps, we hope you enjoy the read!   The benefits of close age gaps: A broadly held view on siblings with a close age gap...

hello and welcome to our third blog! This one’s explores the theme of introducing a new baby to their sibling. We hope you enjoy the read! We here at tidders & nippers have some first-hand experience of the anticipation and challenges of bringing a new baby home to an unsuspecting toddler! And we also know how stressful it can be for parents. Us parents – still firmly gripped by that that sleep deprived, adrenaline driven new-born joy overload – maybe don’t always have the head space to think about new baby integration and making things as easy as possible for that (big) little person waiting patiently at home! As new parents, we’re super excited about the new arrival, but also really worried...

hello and welcome to our second blog! This one is all about exploring the theme of returning to work following parental leave. We hope you like it! If you are thinking of going back to work (or have recently returned to work), although we recognise the experience is intensely personal and different for everyone, here are some tips from us here at tiddlers & nippers that we think could be useful in helping to make the transition a little easier…. Have confidence in yourself. Remember that you were amazing at what you did before, and you will be amazing again! The only thing that has fundamentally changed about you (apart from your new addition/s!) is that you have a whole host...

Hello World! Its a Monday, its raining and you're probably suffering from a severe bout of back to work blues! Anyway, despite all of that, we really appreciate you taking the time to have a read... At tiddlers & nippers we're not just focused on baby / toddler products, but also on anything that makes life easier (even just a tiny bit) for parents with young children, whether its advice, tips, recommendations, or anything in between. Having 2 children under the age of 3, I'm all too familiar with the challenges that mums and dads across the country face on a daily basis. In fact, I'm SO familiar I now choose to break things down into basic statistics... Here's what it took...
