2. Help your baby sleep more comfortably and ease congestion when they have a head cold by rubbing vapour rub on their feet and putting socks over them at bedtime. I do it all the time, and it really works.
3. First-time mums, did you know most newborn nappies come with a built-in wetness indicator? The yellow line turns blue when their nappy needs changing, so no need to change your newborn baby on the hour due to uncertainty.
4. And finally: Is your baby notorious for stripping off their clothes and/or nappy? It's very common for them to go through this phase and it will probably happen again and again, but if you have the in-laws over for dinner and would prefer baby to keep his little teapot intact try putting their onesie on backwards! It’s completely tamper proof!
Now I just have to find a self-heating mug so I don't have to be constantly reheating my coffee in the microwave. That would be the ultimate parenting hack.
