Former Corrie star and mum Tina O’Brien is teaming up with children’s charity Barnardo’s and Fairy Non-Bio Gel, in encouraging parents to get involved in the Big Toddle


The Big Toddle is the UK's biggest charity event for children under the age of five and a fun opportunity for parents to celebrate a special and worthwhile experience together with their little ones. Each year, up to half a million children take part in the short sponsored walks across the country, with the money raised going towards charitable projects that help less fortunate children learn and play. In fact, new Big Toddles have been held right across the UK over the last month, from Brighton to Manchester and St Albans to Dudley Zoo; even Tina had a chance to get down to Dulwich and have a Toddle with her little one, Scarlet.

Impressively, this year the Barnardos Big Toddle has raised over £350,000 (and still growing) to help disadvantaged under 5’s to learn and play.

The campaign also encouraged parents to bring along any unwanted clothes, to be sold in Barnardos stores across the UK.

New growth charts launched for National Breastfeeding Awareness Week

In this video, Professor Charlotte Wright of the Royal College of Paediatrics explains why the charts have been introduced and how they can help you follow the growth of your baby:


All newborn babies and children up to four years old will have their growth measurements plotted on new charts from this week. The launch of the charts, which have been developed for the Department of Health by the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, based on the World Health Organisation's work, coincides with National Breastfeeding Awareness Week (10 - 16 May) and replaces current measures which are based predominately on babies fed with formula milk.

Research shows that breast-fed babies tend to gain weight at a healthier pace and are less likely to become obese in later life. The new charts will play an important role in establishing breastfeeding as the norm and will be included in the Personal Child Health Records, which parents of every newborn are given. They will help parents and healthcare professionals identify children at early risk of obesity and provide important reassurance for parents of breast-fed babies, who are likely to gain weight more slowly.

The new charts include parent-friendly instructions and a chart specifically for premature babies. As babies can lose and gain weight at different rates during birth and two weeks, it is recommended that they are not measured during this time. The charts also help make more reliable predictions of a child's adult height.
