Support Small this Christmas

We are so grateful for all our orders and that you have chosen to support small this Christmas this Christmas. We've had our heads down in the studio getting all your lovely orders out.

Speaking of challenges, the ever evolving COVID situation mixed with more online purchases across the country means our...

How to recognise teething symptoms in babies

It's easy to get distracted by all the gorgeous designs and new colours but how do you recognise teething symptoms in babies and do our teething products really help? The teething stage is a very important part of babies physical development but also their emotional development. How they develop coping mechanisms and learn to comfort themselves. So what's going on... technically speaking babies can begin teething from 3 months to 36 months, each...

Freshers Flu…

Let's start by remembering it's great the kids are back at school... but dang why are they all so snotty right now, with a mad cases of freshers flu. My two have only just recovered from 'freshers flu'. We're all back out in the world doing school drop offs, after school clubs, real food shopping. After 6 months of zero contact and no colds, plus a change in the weather and we have been bombarded by the usual germs and it's resulted in snot snot snot! Poor little ones are all bunged...

Why have teething products disappeared from Etsy?

They are no longer permitting the sale of handmade teething products or their component parts. The platform where we first launched our little business is planning to remove all teething products with in the next year. This announcement comes following a court case in 2016 where a little one sadly died from an unsafe teething chain. Our industry is distraught at the loss of one of the platforms that for most of us enabled us to even get started. That having been said something needed to change. The teething...

Silicone Bibs and Snack are coming soon to Aubrey & Co

The Truth about Weaning and why our Silicone Bibs are going to rock your world... a fun and frustrating time it is. My husband always considered this to be the worst phase, pre-chewed food was not something he could handle. For me I found it fun if a little frustrating at times, mostly because 6-18 month-olds have a friggin mind of their own and no two days are the same. Monday - I will quickly and cleanly demolish half a banana and a couple of toast soldiers.

Social and Mental Distancing?

I’m a people person, I touch everybody, all the time, I didn’t realise how much until COVID-19. But somehow not being able to be around other people made me feel claustrophobic, after months of feeling this way I finally got some mental distancing in this weekend. A short trip to the coast with my mum and sisters, we drove down to Bournemouth, found a quiet spot on Boscombe beach and just sat, hung out, chatted and enjoyed some space from the day to day. (I also rented a paddle board, one of...

Keeping the balance

It's been a tricky week, for keeping the balance. I'm grateful for such a full and interesting life but sometimes it can get a bit out of whack. Having used this time to focus on reflection as a business we have lots of cool new projects and ideas, lots of opportunities and love for our work..... on the flipside of this the kids are struggling (read: becoming feral) and the continued uncertainty has me hoovering from must workout and get my diet back on track to 'sod it I'm only hanging out at home anyway'.
