Premium Why More Women Are Considering VBAC Today

by BabyYumYum February 10, 2026

written by BabyYumYum

More women are starting to question whether a repeat C section is their only option. When it comes to why more women are considering VBAC today, the conversation is shifting towards choice, confidence and doing birth differently the second time around. VBAC, or vaginal birth after caesarean, is gaining attention as more mothers share real experiences and push for less routine intervention. It is not just about the birth itself, it is about recovery, control and what feels right for your body. And for many women, that second chance is changing everything.

Premium The Silent Reflux Symptoms in Babies Parents Often Miss

by BabyYumYum February 9, 2026

written by BabyYumYum

Not all reflux comes with dramatic spit-ups. In fact, silent reflux in babies can fly under the radar, leaving parents confused about what’s really going on. Instead of visible vomiting, symptoms often show up as constant fussiness, poor sleep, coughing or back-arching during feeds. Because these signs can mimic colic or general newborn behaviour, they’re easy to miss. If something just feels “off” with your baby’s feeding or sleep, here’s what to watch for and when to seek help.

Premium How Surrogacy in South Africa Works From Start to Finish

by BabyYumYum February 6, 2026

written by BabyYumYum

Surrogacy in South Africa is a carefully regulated journey with clear legal and ethical guidelines designed to protect everyone involved, especially the child. Whether you're a hopeful parent or a potential surrogate, understanding how this step-by-step process works is essential. From High Court approval to post-birth handover, each phase is grounded in transparency, consent and medical oversight. Unlike many countries, only altruistic surrogacy is legal in South Africa, meaning surrogates cannot be paid beyond medical and related expenses. Find out exactly what’s required to begin this extraordinary journey and how the law supports your path to parenthood.
