We hope you’ve had a fun and exciting start to the new year and may 2025 be fantastic for you and your loved ones! While we treasure the holiday memories, we are ready for a fun, fruitful and fabulous year ahead!
With the back-to-school adventure done and dusted, and routines settling in, we encourage you to read this month’s highlight articles to get ideas for daily lunch boxes, learn how you can help your child to develop a positive body image and see what other countries do when children return to school at the beginning of the school year.
Perhaps your biggest challenge is figuring out why your baby is crying and you are desperate to find ways to recognise cues and use comforting techniques to stop the tears (and your frustration).
As we embark on the new year we look forward to share tips, articles, videos and so much more, and want to remind you that you are not alone on your parenting journey – we are in this together.
Best wishes from me, Rianette Leibowitz and the entire BabyYumYum Team!
