Little ones are all go go go from the moment they wake up until the moment they go to sleep. Depending on the age of your child and what sort of sleeper they are the length of time this happens for each day can vary. With little ones, every day is an adventure. It doesn’t […]
To baby, with love
Did you buy books for your baby before they were born? I filled the bookcase. I couldn’t help it. What is a childhood without books? I wanted the children to know as soon as they arrived in the world how important books were. What books do you buy for babies? We love colourful, sensory feel […]
Win baby and toddler soothers
Does your baby or toddler use a soother or dummy? They are not something that any of my children have ever taken to, despite my best efforts sometimes to encourage them to chew on something else other than my nipples! Anyway, for those of you whose children do use them we have a couple of […]

Meal times are a great opportunity to work on developing the pincer grip, the grab, hand–to-eye coordination and hand-to-mouth coordination. I’ve always tried to get a balance with […]

Fast forward nine years and Milton products are still a regular […]
