News and Views The Smart MAM Anti-Colic Cleans Itself!

NEW Party Bags Website Local Mum, Tanya Neilan, has recently launched her new company, Tanya’s Party Bags. Tanya has helped organise parties for years and after conducting extensive research, found that Mum’s don’t enjoy sourcing and putting party bags together. She said, “many Mums think it’s very time consuming and often they leave it to the last minute, so the children end up receiving party bags with anything Mums can get their hands on!â€? Tanya decided to launch www.tanyaspartybags. com which takes the headache out of sourcing and putting party bags together. Tanya says “we provide a reliable and efficient service delivering professional looking party bags from just ÂŁ1.99, with free local delivery! It’s easy too, simply visit www.tanyaspartybags. com and order online – it only takes a couple of minutes. Remember, a party is often judged on how good the party bag is, so make sure your child’s party is remembered as excellent.â€?

News and Views at West Clandon Village Hall

New Road Safety Research Research has proven that children cannot accurately judge the speed of vehicles above 20 mph. Scientists aimed to discover why children are overrepresented as road casualties and the research found that vehicles traveling faster loom less than slower vehicles. This creates a dangerous illusion in which faster vehicles may be perceived as not approaching.

Researchers measured the vision of 111 children in primary schools and calculated approach speeds that they could reliably detect. Adult pedestrians can make good judgments for vehicles going up to 50 mph, but primary school age children become unreliable once the approach rises above 20 mph. The study says:- “Children’s perceptual limitations place them at greater risk of stepping in front of cars traveling at higher speeds. Driving over 20 mph in a residential or school area not only increases the potential severity of any impact, but also increases the risk that a child will injudiciously cross in front.”

Anna Semlyen, Campaign Manager for 20’s Plenty for Us said “It’s simplistic to blame children saying they “run out”, without checking. But this study suggests it is fast motor vehicles that create the errors, as it is then impossible for kids to make correct judgments. It’s up to adults to protect children through 20 mph limits and for drivers to obey the signs.“ 20’s Plenty for Us welcomes comment and feedback www.20splentyforus.org.uk

Are you constantly having to change your little one’s tops because their current bibs aren’t keeping them dry when they dribble? That is what Vikki from Ash Green was finding. She spent many unsuccessful months searching for a bib that would keep her little boy dry when he was dribbling but could not find anything suitable. That is where her story began. She has designed a bandana style dribble bib that not only looks good, but is soft, highly absorbent and extremely effective. The bibs are made up of three layers, consisting of 100% cotton front and back and a waterproof inner lining. Vikki hopes her bibs will be able to help you too.

News and Views Guildford North Kumon Launches Kumon is a unique and well-established method of learning Maths and English which is based on twice weekly drop-in classes and daily home study. The Kumon method emphasizes the potential of all children to develop their study skills, to master their subjects, and to learn independently. The success and popularity of the Kumon method has led to a number of new centres opening nationally, and there are now over 625 centres operating in the UK. In addition to centres already open in Guildford East, Woking, Frimley, Pyrford and Haslemere, there is now a new Kumon Centre in Guildford North serving the local community and outlying areas, with classes all year round on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3.45pm to 5.15pm.

Reading Tips from www.ReadingChest.co.uk Regular reading with your children is probably the most important thing you can do to help with their education. Reading not only opens up the world of literature, but also opens all the other curriculum doors at school. Ideally, read with your children every day. If children are in a routine of reading at a certain time every day, then they are much less likely to complain. Don’t be daunted by ‘new’ teaching methods. Most children are now taught to read at school using phonics - but this isn’t anything new. They are learning to read by blending together sounds which are made of single letters or groups of letters. A good example of using phonics to read is when trying to read the word ‘high’ for the first time. It does not make any sense to sound out each individual letter ‘h – i – g- h’, but children need to know that this word is made up of two sounds represented by the letters ‘h’ and ‘igh’.

As a teacher and mum of children learning to read, I recognise that many parents want to do as much as they can to be involved in their child’s reading development, but it is not as easy as it seems. I launched www.ReadingChest. £5 off first month’s co.uk to provide guidance and easy access to appropriate books for children Reading Chest learning to read.

Are you caring for someone else’s child?

When a child lives with someone who is not their parent or a “close relative” for more than 28 days, this arrangement is known as private fostering. This is a private arrangement made between a parent and in some cases young people themselves and a carer, without the involvement of social services. To ensure the safety of the child, the parent or carer of the privately fostered child must inform social services of these private care arrangements. The same applies to any professional who knows about these arrangements. Social services in return have to do an assessment to ensure that the child is safe and well looked after. They will also visit the child and carer regularly to offer practical support and advice. Private fostering only applies to children who are under 16, or under 18 if they have a disability.

If your child is privately fostered, or if you are privately fostering a child please contact Surrey's Contact Centre on 0300 200 1006.

New Mentoring Service for Au Pairs Even the best au pair can only perform well if they know exactly what’s expected of them. Mums are often too busy or they find it too awkward to brief, settle and oversee their new au pair effectively. Well Paired (www.wellpaired.co.uk), the brainchild of marketing and events specialist and mother of two, Sarah Jones (41), takes the pain out of the process with a full welcome, induction and mentoring service.

Sarah explains, “it’s about making the au pair effective from the word go – helping them to understand their domestic role in your home, showing them around your area and organising the essentials (language courses, doctors, NI, driving lessons and childcare first aid courses). All too often, mums just don’t have the time to write a proper specification for the job. If they did, they wouldn’t need an au pair!” The settling in process can be a nightmare that takes significant time and effort. By ensuring that your new helper isn’t off home on the next bus, Sarah believes her service is protecting that investment.

“It’s all about matching expectations, making sure that the host family gets the best from their au pair and the au pair understands what’s required of them, it’s not just the childcare but all the essential home routines that really makes a difference to home life”. Call Sarah on 07717 436181 or email sarah.jones@wellpaired.co.uk

An extra pair of hands for the school holidays?

Keeping children of various ages amused during the holidays can be a daunting task for many mothers, especially if you don’t have relatives nearby to help out. But help is at hand!

Belaf Language Study Holidays organises an ‘aide-maman’ programme in the summer.

This is a ‘work for keep scheme’ for French students - sixth form or university - coming for 3-5 weeks to do their work experience in England and improve their fluency in the language. They can help in various ways - take the children for a walk, watch them while they play in the garden, help at bath time and do the bedtime story, hold the baby, help prepare meals, do the ironing and more.

Spring into composting Whether you’re a keen gardener or just want to choose the greenest, most natural way to deal with your food and garden waste, composting is the perfect solution.

Grass cuttings, dried leaves, twigs and vegetable peelings are just some of the ingredients that can go into a compost bin or heap to make peat-free compost – ideal to use in potting or planting in your garden or allotment.

A step-by-step guide

1. Find the right site. Site your bin or heap on bare soil. If space is limited, put your bin on concrete, tarmac or patio slabs, but make sure there’s a layer of soil or existing compost on the bottom so garden creatures can colonise.

Bumps’n’Babes Periods and pregnancy matters - with Maya abdominal massage

By Fiona Wilkinson Abdominal massage is a traditional treatment developed by Rosita Arvigo from the ancient Maya massage techniques of Central America.

The massage helps eliminate a wide range of digestive problems and medical conditions. It has been used with particular success for problems associated with women’s reproductive organs.

This abdominal massage treats the reproductive and digestive systems by applying external pressure to internal organs, using only the practitioner’s hands. This guides and helps reposition the organs, improving blood flow to the lower and upper abdomen.

The muscles of the stomach and diaphragm can become overly tight due to anxiety, worry and fear. This affects breathing and constricts the blood vessels and nerves that give the digestive organs their vitality. When these areas are tight and blocked not only is blood restricted to the digestive organs but it limits our capacity to let go of tension. The massage will alleviate this discomfort, with positive effects on the digestion. And by working on the upper abdomen and solar plexus we also facilitate emotional release.

Helping the fertility process using Arvigo techniques To have painless and positive healthy cycles the uterus needs to be in it’s normal position, with a good flow of blood and our hormones in balance. The uterus is held in place by ligaments that allow it to double in size during menstruation and expand much more during pregnancy. These ligaments can become over stretched for a variety of reasons, allowing the uterus to twist, fold, tilt or become badly positioned.

When a uterus is out of position the blood and lymph flow to the pelvic area is affected. For example if the uterus is folded, the blood and uterine lining are unable to expel completely during menstruation so causing discomfort. This may also lead to symptoms that can have an impact on fertility.

Symptoms of a misplaced uterus • Dysmenorrhoea ( painful periods) • Amenorrhoea ( no periods) • Failure to ovulate • Endometriosis • Difficult pregnancy e.g. heaviness in • Uterine fibroids pelvis, spotting, indigestion, low back • Uterine Polyps ache, constipation and swollen ankles • Failure to conceive

Doulas A recent study has confirmed what doulas have always known - that continuous support in labour has many benefits for maternal health and newborns and has also demonstrated that this support is most effective when provided by someone - like a doula - who is not part of the woman’s network or from hospital staff.

We asked local Doula, Mhairi Firman, what a doula is and what they do. Mhairi says “Doula” (pronounced “doola”) is a Greek word meaning “woman servant or caregiver”. It now refers to an experienced woman who offers emotional and practical support to a woman (or couple) before, during and after childbirth.

A Doula can be there to support you when you need it – whether that is before the birth, during the birth or support after your baby is born.

Many mums, whether they’re a first time mum or expecting their third or fourth baby would like some extra support and they like the continuity of care a doula can provide.”

Mhairi continues “I truly believe your state of mind can have a huge influence on how you birth your baby. The support of a Doula can help in keeping you relaxed, confident and empowered during the birth of your baby (or babies!). Birth doulas have become increasingly popular in this country over the last few years. However, it must be emphasised that birth doulas are not substitute

Fertility depends on several biological processes working together in harmony. Oestrogen and progesterone must fluctuate throughout the cycle in correct amounts. The uterine membrane must be sufficiently healthy to nourish a healthy baby. The uterus must be strong and flushed with a healthy blood supply to enable conception and a successful pregnancy.

Self Care An important part of this work is taught as self care. The practitioner will teach the client a simple massage to be carried out each day taking about 10 minutes. Through the regular repetition of the massage ligaments are able to heal and support the uterus. Through the massage the client is taking responsibility for her own health and nurturing herself at a fundamental level to complete the healing process.

Abdominal massage is a soothing experience. During the massage the position of the uterus can be felt and massage strokes used to correct the position. Many of the symptoms that arise from your uterus being out of position can be helped through abdominal massage and self care.

Hilary and Fiona offer Maya Abdominal massage Treatments developed specially to support and help you with every stage from conception, throughout pregnancy and to aid post-natal recuperation. Their practices are in Dorking and Guildford. Hilary Lewin runs the Guildford practice ; you can contact her on 01306 730495 or 07748 965064 or via hilary@sulistherapies.co.uk. Talks and workshops in your home or workplace are also available. To find out more about the range of conditions Maya Abdominal Massage can help, go to www.sulistherapies.co.uk

NCT launches parenting Iphone app

A postnatal doula works flexible hours to suit the family, offering practical and emotional support to the new mother and father in the home following the birth of their baby. This could range from entertaining older siblings, light house work, popping to the shops or helping you establish feeding. A doula’s work is about empowering a family to take care of itself and we facilitate this by helping around the house and offering encouragement and suggestions – we help the whole family to relax and enjoy the experience.”

So what do you do when you’re out for the day, your baby needs changing, is crying up a storm, and you don’t know where the nearest baby changing rooms are? That’s where the beauty of the NCT’s new iPhone app comes into life.

It is shown that having a Doula to support you can result in:-

• 51% decrease in Caesarean Birth • 60% decrease in Epidural use • 57% decrease in Forceps use • Labour Length is reduced by an average of 98 mins • Feel more secure and cared for • Are more successful in adapting to new family dynamics

• Have greater success with breastfeeding • Have greater self-confidence • Are less likely to suffer from post-natal depression Mhairi Firman is a local doula and mother of two.

Based in Bordon, she covers Surrey, W. Sussex and Hampshire. She can be contacted on 07850 092086, mhairi@blossomingbumps.co.uk or see www.blossomingbumps.co.uk

NCT, the UK’s largest parenting charity, has just launched the first interactive charity iPhone application for parents, ‘NCT Babychange’. It’s free to download and allows you to locate the nearest baby changing facility, view it’s star rating, and then rate it for other parents to use.

Sally Horrox, Director of Corporate Communications, NCT, says; “How many of us have walked into a baby changing room and found it’s not great, with over flowing nappy bins or cramped spaces. NCT’s new Babychange app means you avoid making that mistake and it allows you a better experience by changing your baby in clean, comfortable surroundings. NCT has created a free app that enables parents to support other parents when they’re out and about with their children – which is what NCT is all about.”

The app is available to download free from www.apple.com and will also be available via the NCT website later this year. The app is also being developed for other Smart phones.

Bumps’n’Babes Routine or no routine?...That is the question!

By Sam Hannay

Many baby books encourage parents to ‘get baby into a routine’ but what happens if you or your baby doesn’t fit into the ‘routine box’? This is a big question for many new parents and can often heighten anxiety in what is already a sensitive period in a new parent’s life.

I would suggest there is a useful distinction for parents to consider given that the term ‘routine’ can have a number of connotations. In my opinion, routines can be seen as something that the parent imposes on the baby whereas patterns are established by the baby as it settles into its own natural rhythm. As with most parenting issues, where routines or patterns are concerned, there is no right or wrong answer.

Some parents will favour establishing routines early on and find it fairly straightforward because this fits with their natural personality style, way of working or lifestyle. Some babies will also take easily to routines set by their parents simply because they are that ‘type’ of baby.

Other parents may find it easier and less stressful to ‘go with the flow’ and fall into the emerging patterns that their baby settles into.

There are always two sides to every story and routines are no exception – they both help and hinder family life and parenting confidence. If routines don’t ‘fit’ either the parent or the baby, trying to establish a routine can cause immense damage to a parent’s confidence and enhancing feelings of self-doubt. However, parents who are perhaps naturally control-driven who try to follow the baby’s patterns might become equally stressed and anxious, finding life is unpredictable and that they have no time to themselves, particularly in the evening.

One mum reflected – “For the first few weeks Amy fed a lot (I was breastfeeding) during the day and night and wouldn’t go to sleep unless it was ‘on’ someone - my husband used to take her for a walk at about 9pm in a sling and then creep back in and hope she’d stay asleep - often she’d wake up and he’d have to go out again. We needed some help! A friend of mine (from my NCT group) had a maternity nurse who wrote out a routine for us – giving a time when I should get Amy up, feed her, when she should have a nap, feed, nap, feed and when bath time should be and then bed. We followed it to the letter and the turn around was incredible - it was like we had a different baby and it happened almost immediately. She went to sleep in the pram with the dummy, and we were able to follow the whole plan because we could get her to sleep without her falling asleep on us. It was such a relief to know when she should be sleeping and when I should be feeding her and also how long for. The whole thing was a million times better when we were following a routine.”

This is a wonderful example of a baby responding well to a routine but it’s not always this straightforward. Another mum tells a different story: “I was told that if I didn’t get my baby into a routine early on, then I’d be setting myself up for trouble! We tried to time feeds by the clock but he would just scream and I knew it was because he was hungry. When I tried to put him down for a nap at the same time each day he wouldn’t settle but would then fall sleep happily at other times during the day. I began to realise that this routine I was trying to establish wasn’t working and was just getting me and my baby stressed out. I gave up for a few days and instead took note of what my baby was doing.

After a few days I became aware that Harry was actually falling into his own pattern of feeding and sleep and realised that the routine I was trying to impose was simply getting in the way of his natural pattern.”

It’s not to say that, whether you chose to establish a routine or follow the baby’s pattern, that this is set in stone. As babies grow and develop, their needs change and routines will need to adjust and accommodate these changes.

Babies will also change their patterns.

If you want to begin establishing a predictable routine, many parents find it easier to start with a ‘bedtime routine’. This would generally consist of a number of activities that will help babies distinguish between day and night. Bedtime ‘signals’ could include a bath, massage, soft music, a story, a feed in dim light, gentle rocking and singing, being changed into warm night clothes. This can also be a great opportunity to involve fathers if they have been at work or other members of the family such as siblings or grandparents.

Samantha runs her own training and coaching company Making Sense of Parenthood and is a qualified postnatal leader. As well as offering one-to-one coaching, Samantha specialises in parent-focused workshops such as Baby Play & Development; Weaning; Returning to Work; Positive Behaviour and other key aspects of parenthood.

Summer Holiday Activities Feature The Easter eggs may be barely finished but now is the time that canny parents start planning for the long summer holiday. Many of the exciting and diverse range of local workshops, camps and summer schemes book up very early indeed. Leave it to the end of term and you may be disappointed. Here’s our preview of some summer fun coming our way.

Three Peaks Outdoor Pursuits Three Peaks outdoor pursuits run activity day camps at Barfield School, Farnham for all 4-13 year olds - all camps are open to non-Barfield pupils.

Activkids (Farnham & Aldershot)

Surrey’s Summer of Adventure 2011! Calling all adventurous 8-16 yr olds, don’t get bored during the summer holidays - try something different at one of the three activity centres!

Summer holidays need never be boring again, for more ideas or to book see www.surreycc.gov.uk/adventurecourses or call 03456 009009. The Activity centres are: High Ashurst near Dorking, Henley Fort in Guildford and Thames Young Mariners in Richmond.
