How has our vision changed in light of this crisis?

So I’ve had a little cry, felt relieved, thrown a tantrum about how to split myself in two to get everything done, and (at least today) have come full circle to see what a great opportunity this is for us at Aubrey & Co and how our vision has changed in light of the crisis. I've worked for Amy for 7 months, helping to develop the business strategy, marketing platforms and writing content. I love it, I love the beautiful thoughtful products she makes and our customers are amazing. Right now we all feel a...

Lifestyle Photoshoot Fun with Aubrey & Co

The current COVID-19 outbreak definitely threatened our lifestyle photoshoot day a few weeks ago but we were lucky enough to be able to proceed safely with extra precautions in place. The amazing support we received from the families involved was only matched by the fun we had. First up the gorgeous Paula, due in just 9 days, came to model our teething necklaces. She was a great sport given that she was about to pop and getting changed to model our various collections couldn't have been that easy. I couldn't help but...

What is a MAM adaptor?

..... Ok what on earth? What are MAM adaptors, why would you use them? And what are they actually called? We get asked often about MAM adapters, and sometimes we don’t until a customer realises after their purchase they needed one. If you’re a new parent, buying a gift or simply using a different kind of dummy this time around it can be a little confusing. MAM Adapters are small, often silicone, loops on the end of your dummy clip specially designed to be used with MAM dummies such as the BIBS...

Silicone dummies Vs Latex dummies

Over the years we've been asked many times about the differences between Silicone and Latex dummies, what's better, why should you choose one over the other? The short answer is, it almost always comes down to personal choice, save in the case of an actual latex allergy. Some parents prefer this look to that look, some babies prefer that teat or this fit. It can be a bit of a minefield! That having been said, having worked with lots of families over the years and used our experience to develop...

Keeping Little Ones Warm in Winter

So we thought sharing some tit-bits on keeping little ones warm was all in good timing.The weather forecasters are predicting the temperature in the UK is due to plummet late January giving way to snow etc. Now I have to start by saying I know there are some very judgey parents out there, sometimes I catch myself doing the same, when someone walks past me in the middle of Winter and their toddler has no coat on but they are wrapped up like Armageddon is coming. So please cut me some slack for saying...
