We love Holly Willoughby, she's a presenter, a mum-of-three, a model and has recently released her new book - Truly Happy Baby: It Worked For Me.
She has described it as a practical parenting guide from a mum you can trust, and after reading it, we definitely agree.
In the past, when talking about the idea of having a fourth child the presenter has said: “I love being pregnant and I love having babies”.
And when Holly announced the news of her new book she wrote on her Instagram page: "Having had three very different babies myself, I wanted to gather together all the best bits I've learnt along the way looking after my family, and share them with you!"
In her parenting book, she talks about everything; from breastfeeding and bottle formulas, to weaning, sleeping and so much more.
So we thought we’d name a few things we’ve learnt after reading her book:
1. Worried your baby is eating too little?
Instead of worrying that your newborn isn’t eating as much your previous children did, remember all babies are different and you should ask yourself:
If the answer is yes, then your baby is getting enough to eat.
2. Worried about breastfeeding in public?
A tip Holly gives for breastfeeding in public, is to have a sterilised bottle and carton of ready-made formula as a back up in your bag - just incase your baby chooses they don’t want to breastfeed the one time you're in public.
3. Tongue-tied
Tongue-tied is when the baby’s tongue is restricted by a piece of tissue that isn’t long or flexible enough and can make it difficult for the baby to latch.
This is not something automatically checked when you give birth so you should ask when you baby arrives.
4. How to know if your baby is in deep sleep
Holly gives a great tip to check if your baby is in deep sleep or not.
She recommends picking up their arm and if it drops down heavily they are in a deep sleep, but if it’s a bit stiff then leave them a bit longer.
5. Buying a cot
When you buy a cot make sure it conforms to the UK industry cot safety standards. The mattress should be low enough to stop your baby from rolling or climbing out, and when they can sit up they shouldn’t be able to fall out or climb out.
The gaps between the bars should be narrow enough so that you can’t fit a tin of baked beans though them, and finally as your baby grows, you should be able to adjust the height of the base.
6. Worried about sharing a bed with your baby?
Some parents may be worried about co-sleeping with their baby, but Holly points out that you can buy a bedside cot.
They can be placed right next to your bed, so it feels like you’re sleeping with your baby, but you can roll around as much as you want.
7. Nappies
Don’t know whether to use a disposable nappy or a reusable one? Do some research before you decide, they both have advantages and disadvantages.
8. Will my life be different now I'm a parent?
In her book Holly gives great advice, she says: “Just because your life is different, it doesn’t mean you are.
"You’re the same person, it’s just that now you have a permanent plus-one to consider, who’s the new centre of your life.”
Holly has also included some great tips for stay-at-home mums, activities and fun things for you and your baby to do.
Whether you already have children and you’re adding another one to the nest or you’re a new parent, we totally recommend giving this book a read.
