The first few days at home with a new-born can be really tough. For one you will be exhausted and sore and two did I mention sore and exhausted? I always say to my husband now if someone handed me a new-born on a day where you haven’t just been through 10 months of physical exhaustion (also known as pregnancy), labour and sleepless nights in a hospital I honestly think I’d do great, wouldn’t...

Ok nobody told me about the fear. Yes this is the new mum, don’t look at how I'm holding my baby fear. Honestly this exists, I remember my husband going home and leaving me in the hospital the first day our son was born. I have never felt so scared in all my life. How? that was the first question that came to my mind. How do I hold my baby properly? How do I feed my baby properly? How do I...

A video which recently hit the headlines shows a 4-year-old girl carefully explaining the merits of each and every cosmetic nestled within her mother's makeup bag. Instead of smearing red lipstick across her mouth like I did as a child, little Mia concerned herself with perfecting her eyebrows and appeared all too eager to attain 'skinny face'. I'll be honest, I didn't know I...

There are so many questions to discuss when you are pregnant. Do you know if you are having a boy or a girl? Do you have any names picked out? Where are you having the baby? Are you aiming to do it naturally? Where are you buying your crib, your buggy, your changing table? And so on... One thing I don’t really remember talking about during those nine months was breastfeeding. I told my husband I...

Hi Mummy Pages, My name is Laura Hanlon and I am a 4th year Sports and Exercise Engineering student at the National University of Ireland, Galway. For my final year, it is mandatory for me to complete a final year project and base my thesis around this project. As you may know, childhood obesity is becoming increasingly popular in Ireland, and shocking figures reveal that 1 in 4 children are not...

Dear Mum, I’ve written you numerous cards over the years, I’ve left scrawled notes around the house and I’ve sent countless texts, but have I ever actually sat down, put pen to paper and written you a proper letter? Have I ever taken the time to truly thank you? Yes, I’ve called a hurried ‘ta’ over my shoulder as I let the house as a teen and mumbled a ‘thank you’ into your ear as...

We all know Mother’s Day is just around the corner and if you're anything like me, you've been leaving enough hints around the house about gifts that nobody would dare forget! However, who these hints are directed at is very different for every mum. Older kids can pick you up something, while smaller ones obviously can’t, so in many cases, the hints are directed at our significant...

My daughter is turning 13 next week and her father appeared to be in meltdown about it. And despite my best intentions, he eventually managed to send me completely over the edge as well. While my daughter planned her first teenage party, my husband drafted a contingency plan on how to deal with the next six years. Whether he watched too much Jeremy Kyle on his days off or inexplicably schooled...

Remember the time that study was released and assured you that you were doing a great job as a parent? Yeah, me neither. As if we didn’t have enough to worry about, we’re now faced with yet another report that tells us our attempts at child-rearing are as impressive as a teenage girl naming a One Direction track with little to no assistance. Now tell me, how do you support your child? Praise...
