Aha! It’s officially time to gear up for Christmas (yippee!), and I admit this year I feel extra crackers about Christmas. As it’s the season of giving, we’ve pulled together

some inspiration with a tree-full of treasures with our Make a Wish product page on p33.

And of course it wouldn’t be winter without a party, whether you’re looking to dress your little ones up (page 14) or on the hunt for some maternity partywear (p37) we’ve got all the motivation you’ll need to shop ’til you drop.

For me, Christmas advocates a sense of pride as we watch our brood enjoying the delights that the festive season brings. But do your share your pride virtually too? Research shows babies born in Britain make their first appearance online within just one hour of birth. We take a look at the media mania with The Rise of Sharenting on page 10.

However there are some things we should share, like how to look, feel and smell(!) great this season. Check out Jenni Baden Howard’s Show Stoppers! on page 22 with some scent-sational new arrivals for mum!

Enjoy the season,

Welcome to the World

W O R D S : H E L E N H O L M E S | I M A G E S : A L E X A N D R A J O S E P H

Proud parents share their birth experiences with us and Baby London welcomes four new arrivals into the world.

Dave and I grew up in Perth, Western Aus-tralia – we were a twenty minute drive apart, but we didn’t meet

until we both came to London. We met at a friend’s birthday party in the summer of 2006, went on our first date a week later, and the rest is history! Dave proposed in Southern Spain in 2010 and we got married the following summer, in Provence, with family and friends flying in from around the world.

One Saturday morning Dave had popped out to pick up ingredients for breakfast, and I did a pregnancy test. I should probably have waited for him, but I couldn’t help myself ! Dave had picked up some flowers for me while he was out, and I’d wrapped up the positive test in a little gift box. When he gave me the flowers I told him that I had a present for him too.

We found out that we were having twins at the twelve week scan. It was, hands down, one of the best days of our lives. We were elated, but also in shock – we don’t have twins on either side of the family, so it wasn’t some-thing we’d ever considered.

I had a fantastic pregnancy, though I was so huge by the end that I looked like a science experiment! When I walked down the street, strangers pointed at me and turned around to look and giggle! I’m not a very big person and my obstetrician warned me that it was quite likely that the girls would arrive early. So it was a nice

surprise when I made it to 37 weeks, which is full term for twins.

I went to UCH for my 37 week appointment, and they noticed that my blood pressure had increased. They asked me to stay in overnight, and Dave read between the lines and went home to fetch my hospital bag.

Sure enough, the doctor visited me in the early evening and said that they wanted to induce me later that night. My labour started at approximately 8.30am. Everything happened very quickly. I was dozing when I felt my wa-ters break, and this was accompanied by a massive contraction. I then had full-on contractions for the next two hours. Dave was amazing – completely unflappable, although he later told me that he found the whole birthing process quite challenging!

When I said that I felt the need to push, I was transferred two doors down to the theatre room. They tried to give me an epidural, but had prob

lems administering it, so I was given a spinal block instead – in case they had to perform an emergency caesarean.

Three contractions later, and Lauren May was born. They placed her on my chest and Dave and I had a few special moments with her whilst Eden, who had originally been breech, turned in my stomach so that she was head down. When they burst Eden’s waters, the doctors were concerned that her umbilical cord may have become obstructed, so they then performed an emergency c-section. Eden was born 22 minutes after Lauren. We looked at them in pure amazement – we were ridiculously proud of them both.

The first few weeks at home with the girls were very intense. I had problems establishing breastfeeding, so I bottle fed as well. As they were born earlier than the normal 40 weeks, and were on the small side, they each had to be fed every two hours. As there were two of them, the feeds were relentless! In the early days we both got up in the middle of the night to attend to a baby each, but we quickly realised that both of us being up all night was not going to work long term, so we started taking it in turns.

We were expecting our lives to be

complete mayhem, but whilst having twins requires a lot of work, it hasn’t been as difficult as we’d feared. When we first found out that we were expect-ing twins, we decided that we weren’t going to put pressure on ourselves to be the kind of perfect parents that only cook organic food for their children – our aim was just to survive the first year.

Because we had that attitude, we man-aged to stay relaxed and keep our senses of humour when times were tough.

A year in, and we love being parents to twins – we feel like we’ve won the lotto. It’s amazing – from watching them sleep together in the same cot, to seeing them hold hands for the first time, and giggle at each other.

Once Jon and I decided to try for a baby it all happened a lot more quickly than we’d expected.

I took the test one Friday evening, while Jon was out on a friend’s stag night. When the result was positive I couldn’t really believe it, especially as the only person at home to tell was the dog! The following week we flew off to a friend’s wedding in Thailand, and it was pretty difficult keeping it a secret – hoping no one would notice I was on the mocktails! But it was also really nice to have a bit of time to relax and get our heads around it all. We made the most of the trip, knowing that it was going to be our last tropical holiday for quite a while.

I had a very straightforward preg-nancy, although Otto was incredibly active – to the point where I actually went to the hospital one day to ask whether there was anything wrong,

because he was moving around so much! I’m not the type of person to read loads of pregnancy books or guides, but I really wanted to do something to prepare myself, and I found a great pregnancy Pilates class near my work, which I did once a week with a friend who was also pregnant.

At about six months another friend introduced me to active birth yoga. I absolutely loved it, and I’m convinced it contributed to me having a natural, and relatively quick, birth. I was taught by Janet Balaskas, who’s a real pioneer of active birth – I hadn’t really thought about what type of labour I wanted, but all the techniques and positions that Janet taught us seemed very instinctive and made me feel much more confident and prepared.

The end of the pregnancy dragged a bit, and my due date passed with nothing happening. The weekend after the due date, Jon’s parents came


to visit – I think they had planned it thinking there would be a baby to see! On the Sunday morning I started to feel something, but I didn’t want to tell anyone until I was sure. Unfortunately, Jon’s dad had injured his back and was in quite a lot of pain. Just as everyone was debating whether or not it was best for them to stay or head back to Somerset before it got any worse, the contractions really kicked in. I didn’t want to add to the problems, so I kept quiet and told Jon to drive them to the station.

When they left, I called my sister Sof-ie and asked her to come over quickly! I spent the evening working through the contractions, trying to remember what I had learnt in yoga, with Jon, Sofie and Perry, our dog, watching me in bewilderment.

We called the birth centre at UCH a few times, but the midwives kept saying that I should stay at home. Finally, at 10.30pm, I couldn’t bear it any longer and Jon and I went to the hospital. The cab journey was excruci-ating, but when we got there a birthing pool had just become available, which was great. I was 5cm dilated when I got into the pool, and I immediately felt so much better for being in the wa-ter. Jon set up some music and we got ready for the long haul. As the midwife left the room she said she’d assess me

again in a few hours, but to call if I felt the need to push.

Pretty much as soon as she shut the door I felt the need to push, so we called her back. She looked pretty sceptical, but when she checked me I was 10cm dilated, and the baby was definitely on its way. Otto was born at 1.21am on Monday morning. Jon cut the cord and I was able to hold Otto straight away – it was an absolutely amazing and slightly unreal feeling.

I had to have a few stitches, which

seemed to go on for ages, and I still maintain that this was more painful than the birth! The weirdest part of it all was being taken onto the ward. They sent Jon home and I was left lying behind a blue curtain, wide awake, with a baby who was fast asleep and swaddled in towels next to me. I want-ed to tell everyone I knew about the amazing thing that had just happened, but instead I had to lie there quietly waiting for the lights to come on.

We went home the next afternoon, and it felt quite weird walking back into our flat with our new baby boy. The first few weeks were a blur of visitors, cake, and sleeplessness, but slowly we started to get into a routine. After two weeks Jon went back to work, and my mum came over from Finland for a month. It was a long, dark winter and I do envy people that have babies in spring or summer, and can spend their days strolling round the park rather than rushing about in the cold and rain. I was grateful that I had friends with babies living locally.

I went back to work part-time when Otto was seven months and, thank-fully, he’s settled into his nursery really well. It is tricky juggling looking after a baby and going to work. I know it’s stupid, but I often find myself missing Otto when I’m in the office, and worry-ing about work when I’m at home.

When the result was positive I couldn’t really believe it, especially as

the only person at home to tell was the dog!


Imet Andrei when we were first year students at the University of Melbourne. We lived together for around twelve years before mar-rying, and it was another year or

so before we decided to have a child. We felt that we were at the right stage of our lives, relationship and careers.

We were both very happy when we found out about the pregnancy, but we were also anxious – because we knew that our lives would change enor-mously, and even though we wanted this, the prospect was unsettling.

I had an easy pregnancy. Other than a little bit of nausea and tiredness at the beginning, life carried on as normal. I was still active and I could still do the things that I usually did. I did stop running in the third trimester, and I had some mood swings – ac-

cording to Andrei!We found out that we were having

a boy at the twenty week scan. We would have been happy either way, although from a practical standpoint a girl would have been handy as we

have a girls’ school two doors from our flat! Now we have Thomas, though, it seems very strange to be thinking about who else we could have had – Thomas seems like the only right outcome.

One of the reasons that we wanted to know the baby’s sex before the delivery was so that we could prepare adequately – we bought clothes, furniture and decorations for his nursery. We thought we were ready, but when Thomas arrived, we realised that we weren’t. I’m not sure, looking back, how we could have been better prepared, but perhaps, rather than attending ante-natal classes, it would have been better to attend a class on how to deal with the first few months.

My waters started leaking slowly. At first I thought it was urinary inconti-

nence, but then I realised that it must be my waters. After a day of leaking, we went into hospital – I thought that I had to wait for the contractions to start, but Andrei insisted I go. The hospital staff gave me antibiotics via a drip.

I waited another 24 hours at the hos-pital, and when my contractions still didn’t start, I was induced. I wanted to have as natural a birth as possible, but after five hours of pain, with minimal dilation, I asked for an epidural. After the epidural, things became more

serious. Thomas’ heartbeat started fluctuating and the doctors decided to give me a c-section. Looking back, I’m very grateful for it, because it sped up the whole birth process.

The recovery period went much more smoothly than the birth. I spent two nights in hospital, and then went home. I was walking after a couple more days of bed rest. The first few days at home were a blur. Andrei and I were very happy, but our cat, Snowy, was wondering who the new person was! He was not impressed, especially when Thomas was crying, and he

was clearly wondering why he was no longer the centre of our attention. He’s better now, and we hope he and Thomas will be best friends.

Each stage has its own challenges – in the first few months, the biggest was probably the sleep deprivation. An ongoing challenge, which we suspect will always be with us as parents, is not knowing whether what we are doing is best for Thomas. We may never know the answer to that, but every now and then we discover new approaches that seem to work and make us all happy, so we go with it.

Another challenge is both of us man-aging to have a career, while trying to do the right thing by Thomas in terms of our involvement in his life. Our parents live in Australia, and my mother-in-law came over for two months when I went back to work. We tried to convince her to move to London, but no luck yet!

As parents, we are the mainstays of Thomas’ world, and it’s a huge joy to be able to dedicate what time we have, and our energy and love to him. We look forward to helping him to grow, develop and learn new things as he gets bigger.

The delivery suite was once a private space for parents to welcome their new addition into the world. But no longer. Since the

advent of social media, mothers and fathers have been inviting friends, fam-ily, colleagues and passing acquaint-ances to share this precious moment – not literally, but virtually.

Research shows babies born in Britain make their first appearance online within an hour of birth. Almost

two thirds of parents (62 per cent) post pictures on Facebook, Instagram, Flickr and other sites, and they take an average of 57.9 minutes to do so.

As anyone on Facebook knows, more and more of us regularly upload imag-

es of our children and updates about their antics. Commissioned by print site Posterista, the poll of 2,367 parents of under-fives saw a whopping 64 per cent claim they upload such images at least three times a week. One in five do so at least three times a month, while only six per cent said they never post images of their children.

The motives for the phenomenon – dubbed sharenting - are varied. More than half (56 per cent) said they did so to keep distant friends and family up-dated; nearly as many (49 per cent) do it to express their love for their child; a

third (34 per cent) believe it is an ideal way to store memories; while more than one in five (22 per cent) admit it is a form of bragging.

Back in September, American Amy Webb, head of digital strategy agency Webbmedia Group, posted a feature on web magazine Slate, about why she and her partner will never post information about their daughter online. She said it was the only way to protect her child against facial recognition, Facebook profiling, and corporate data mining, and suggested the tendency to sharent is robbing our children of their anonymity. Her article proved highly controversial, with many reacting angrily to the sug-gestion that they had compromised their children. So how much thought should we give this issue?

We asked psychologist and biologist Aric Sigman, who has written exten-sively on the health implications of excessive screen time.

The father-of-four said, “There are good things that can come from using a social tool to aid you in a healthy way, but it seems to be displacing a lot of social face to face interaction.

“As we all know, mothers encounter more of a sense of isolation, particularly

as many do not have that extended sup-port network around them anymore. A lot of women feel exposed and out of sync with the rest of society and social networking may fill some of those gaps. However, it has been overused by a lot of people from all different demographics in our society, from children to teenag-ers and new parents.”

Dr Sigman is less about the content, than the amount of time we spend online.

“Non-essential screen time is a huge health and mental health issue,” he says.

The physical down side of this sed-entary pastime is obvious, but there is also an emotional aspect as a growing number of people develop a “depend-ency” on social media.

Dr Sigman says, “Facebook and social networking offers a form of social comparison. Previously people would do that with real people who

lived nearby, but on Facebook you can big yourself up to anyone you want and people use it as a social marketing tool. It is the virtual version of keeping up with the Joneses – but it isn’t the same.”

“It leaves out a lot of nuances that might not go missing if you were speaking to your friend on the phone. One effect is competitiveness which leaves some people feeling like win-ners and others like losers.”

He adds, “There’s nothing wrong with using social networking to do what

you used to do with an envelope and a stamp, like sending images of your baby to your loved ones, but what can be a tool also ends up being a burden if it’s misused or over-used.”

“We need to get the balance right. Screen time is a form of consumption, just like salt, sugar or anything else, so we should think carefully about the

Advice for parents on safe and sensible social networking

• Think twice before accepting somebody as a friend. Would you want that person to access information and pictures of your children?

• Regularly check on your friends list to ensure that you are hap-py sharing private information with them. Only give informa-tion out to people you consider friends in the real world.

• Carefully consider each picture on its own merit. Is it really necessary to show toddlers on the potty or in the bath?

• Consider cropping or editing pictures to make them more suitable for online use.

• Are you posting too much about your children? Over-shar-enting may lead people to defriend you.

• The same can be said for bragging. Avoid the tempta-tion to tell everyone how you squeezed yourself into your skinny jeans two weeks after giving birth.

• Share your thoughts about sharenting with grandparents. If you do not want images of your children online, make sure they understand that.

• Avoid creating a sense of isolation by limiting the time you spend online. It will also set a good example for your children.

amount of our consumption.”Part-time teacher Esther Bitan Spitzer has been a member of Facebook for more than a decade, but the 27-year-old rarely posts pictures or details of her toddler son.

She says, “There isn't much good that can come of it. It can upset childless friends or those struggling with sec-ondary infertility. I don't see the point of sticking my little one’s pictures all over everyone's screens. Children are too innocent for that.”

“I also steer away from the 'young mum competition', where they are obsessed with which baby reached the next milestone first and worry themselves silly if their baby is three weeks ‘late’.”

Privacy is also an important issue. Esther says, “Once a picture is online anyone can get hold of it, blow it up, use it to do what they want and the thoughts of someone using my baby's innocent pictures for immoral purpos-es creep me out.”

Mother-of-two Charlotte Antoniou describes herself as a “fully fledged Facebook addict”, but her experience has not always been a positive one.

The horticultural therapist from north London was totally against the site and people who sharented, but all that changed with the arrival of her second daughter two years ago.

She says, “I thought it could be dan-gerous putting things up and opening yourself up to everybody. Those were my initial feelings, but then I realised there were lots of things happening that I didn’t know about because I wasn’t on Facebook, so I thought I should join.”

Charlotte posted regular updates about her children and how happy they all were. Or at least that was how

it looked.Speaking candidly, she admits,

“Looking back on it, I was going through a difficult time with post-na-tal illness and perhaps looked to Facebook to portray this mummy who was having an amazing time with her children. Yet inside I wasn't.”

“Coping with this double virtual life as well as public/private persona was physically and mentally exhausting. The more positive and happy my posts were, the more unhappy I was.”

When Charlotte was diagnosed with post natal depression, Facebook actu-ally turned out to be her saviour as she discovered a private members’ group for women with the condition.

She says, “All the ladies on there had, or were going through, post-na-tal illness. It helped so much in my recovery.”

Fortunately Sarah Linton-Walls does not share Charlotte’s problem, but she has found the site equally helpful as a first time mum. She belongs to Monster Mummies, a private group for women who had all expected their babies in September 2011.

More than two years later, many regularly meet or update each other about their children’s progress.

She says, “I do post pictures of my son on Facebook, but I might just post them on the Monster Mummies group rather than my own page, as I’m not sure they’d be very interesting for anyone else.”

She adds, “If I think back to all those sleepless nights, it was such a comfort to have loads of other mums on Face-book to chat to. It was so much more useful than any website or book.”

Beauty Editor’sTop Tips

Top make-up artist Dani Guinsberg’s work has graced the pages of glossies including Vogue and Marie Claire. She is Founder of The Session School in London (thesessionschool.com), which offers one-to-one, professional make-up les-sons for women of all ages (this winter, our readers will receive a 20% off all con-sultations and workshops).Here, a few expert tips from Dani on taking your make-up from ‘day to night’, on-the-go!

For a quick, flawless face, opt for a quick dusting of Bella Pierre Pure Mineral Loose Foundation (£34.99) using a large, fluffy brush. This will create a flawless make-up base that will last all night. Easy!

A dab of Pixi’s Cheek Gel (£12) in Rosy, applied with fingertips, will give you a healthy flush of colour and glow.

Create smoky, evening eyes with dark grey or choc-olate brown eyeliner. Use the liner close to the lashes and smudge with a cotton bud or small eyeliner brush. Flattering and instantly glamorous!

Opt for a modern red lip by using a stain instead of full-on colour. Revlon's Just Bitten Lip Stain + Balms (£7.99 each) are amazing and take five seconds to ap-ply with the added benefits of being long-lasting and smudge-resistant!

Get party-gorgeous in minutes, look less tired instantly & give your hair a touch of winter glam...

For instant radiance, apply a liquid

highlighter to the tops of the cheekbones,

browbones and on the Cupid’s bow of your lips. Try Smashbox’s

Halo Highlighting Wand (£25).

Indulge in a hydrating and

radiance-boosting mask like Decleor Flash Radiance

Mask (£29), which works in 3 minutes.

Annabel Karmel'sWinter Weaning Coming up with purée

ideas in the winter involves a bit more thought as there is less seasonal fruit and vegetables available to us. However there are some delicious ingredients you can easily get hold of in winter that combined make purées bursting with flavours that will have you eating up any left overs! Inspired by my favourite home-cooked recipes, my stage 1 and 2 organic baby purées and new tasty sauces are ideal for when time is not on your side (available at Sainsbury’s).

W O R D S : A N N A B E L K A R M E L

Adding fruit such as plums or apricot can make a plain apple purée a little more interesting, but I love the mixture of pear and apple, this makes a lovely simple first fruit purée.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 RIPE PEAR, PEELED,CORED AND DICED

• 1 EATING APPLE, SUCH AS SPARTAN OR PINK LADY, PEELED, CORED AND DICED

• 2 TBSP WATER

METHOD

Put the diced apple and pear in a saucepan with the water. Bring to the boil, then cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook gently for about 10

minutes or until the fruits are all soft.

Cool slightly, then tip into a blender and purée until smooth. Serve warm, or cool quickly and chill in the fridge before serving.

The purée can be frozen in individual portions; thaw for 1 - 2 hours at room temperature when needed.
