New ! Child Health Channel


 
 
Regular readers of the blog will know that I am an online journalist for Blasting News UK. I tend to specialise in many parenting topics and trends so I am very excited to announce I have been given my own Child Health channel to host on the site!

Your one stop place to catch up with all things trending and relevant in the world of parenting.

                             
‘Parenting or child rearing is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood.’

We live in an age of all things digital including the media which has revolutionised the parenting world. Information, advice and support is now available and the click of a button. Breaking news is viral within minutes. Subjects and topics, we would have only shared with a medical professional are now shared with the world, breastfeeding, post-natal depression, post partem bodies and miscarriage are all taboo subjects that have now been normalised via social media. The internet and all its various channels have been lifelines for many parents.

If we as parents have a problem, the first port of call is almost always the internet. Generally, you can be certain that someone somewhere has had the same problem, posted it and had many replies via the popular parenting forums we have come to rely on. The internet has simply transformed how we parent today, from over sharing, to seeking advice and support from others it is a crutch that many parents now depend on.

Debates, discussion and controversial parenting trends which we would not have previously been aware of are now popping up in our newsfeeds daily. It can be a bit of a minefield to filter through the sheer amount of parenting blogs, posts, tweets, and news articles so we have made it as easy as it can be, after all one thing parents need more of? Time.

So, look no further than to this channel dedicated to all things childcare and parenting.
We will highlight the good, bad and ugly side of parenting. This is an honest approach to the parenting topics and trends that everyone is talking about, and some you will most certainly soon be talking about!

Open to all, and non-judgemental we will cover all things from Peppa Pig to post-natal depression, glitter bans to toddler safety, celeb parents in the spot light to infant feeding and everything relevant in the world of parenting trends.

We will have a no holes barred approach to the controversial issues that are taking over the internet and will bring you the most popular tweets and content from the world of social media. We will continuously update you on a regular basis so you will not miss a thing!
Sit back, grab the lukewarm coffee you have been nursing all morning and enjoy while the kids are having a nap!

Dad's feel guilty too don't they?

      Recently, there have been so many articles and posts about mum Guilt. As a NICU mum I felt beyond guilty when Elijah was born. Check out my Mum Guilt post on Selfish Mother. However, where is the dad guilt? Do dad's feel guilty? Or is this something us mums take upon ourselves to feel? Another thing as a mum we feel we have to take on (and then feel guilty about) because they don't? Is it a common mis conception that dad's don't feel guilty about anything?   When you have a baby, guilt is a huge part of motherhood, it's almost instant. The whole breast vs bottle argument is thrust in your face once your baby is born and your decision is then criticized by anyone and everyone. Something that dad cannot really feel guilty about, if baby doesn't latch and you formula feed (I think whatever you want or have to do is fine!).   As an equal partner in bringing the baby into this world and raising them, do dad's feel what we do? Are the...

Top 10 #Mumwins (okay 'win' may be abit of a stretch) of the week!

I have decided to do something a bit different, and update you all on what has been happening with us all this week. Hopefully, you get an insight that although I was a NICU Mum, I am also a Mum to a toddler as well. We are currently experiencing all things TODDLERDOM with my little Damien (666) seriously the older he gets the more worried I am he is the Omen!  Here is the little bugger covered in Oreos shutting me out of the house and making me knock on the door to come in! It also is nice to show you all how far away our life is from the time he was in hospital. We are fast approaching his year anniversary post op which is mind blowing. At times its so nice just to be a Mum to a normal little boy, and talk to other parents (many of you on Instagram) and laugh about all things #parentlife. So here are my Top 10 Mum Wins (more like fails) that have been achieved this week.   1. We thought we got away with it, we got cocky...

The time Fajita night resulted in having a baby in a bath.

The newest Cockerill Do you all remember my ever so optimistic natural birth plan? You can read it here. However, spoiler alert, it didn’t happen. What did happen was something no one was expecting. Wednesday the 5 th July… a mundane sort of day spent cleaning the house and doing the weekly shop. With Greg going back to work the next day I was determined to make sure everything was ready for when this baby arrived! I was three days off my due date and still hadn’t had one single sign this baby was imminently coming. I had been receiving messages from quite a few people asking if baby was here yet. I was getting fed up as everything I had tried to induce labour failed miserably and every morning for the last two weeks I woke up disappointed I wasn’t in labour! I gave up, walking didn’t help, pineapple made me sick and I was beginning to tire of the raspberry leaf tea. This baby was staying put. In the evening I put Elijah bed, and we began to settle down for the eveni...
