Babyccino (noun), sometimes written "babycino" is a cup of milky froth topped with chocolate powder which is served to young children in coffee bars. Mum and Dad drink their lattes and cappuccinos whilst the little ones play with their babyccinos! The staff in many coffee shops nowadays are frequently accommodating, often making a 'babyccino' (cup of froth with chocolate powder on top) for the little'un for no charge. They seem to have realised the simple fact that "happy kids means happy parents" who stay longer and thereforespend more. (The Guardian, 12th July 2003) 'It is just a cup of milky froth but the babycino has become one of the crucial factors in the battle to win the hearts of Sydney's coffee drinkers.' (Sydney Morning Herald, 6th November 2005) If you enjoy a quick trip to Starbucks® for a regular latte or cappuccino, but have had your coffee-drinking days severely hampered by your young, restless off-spring, you'll appreciate the significance of a babyccino. Instead of him creating havoc under the table, or making a mess with the sugar sachets, he can be quietly entertained with a teaspoon and a cup of milky froth, while you and Dad sip coffee and chat at a more leisurely pace, hopefully buying another cup or two. However, if this inspires you to stop for a coffee the next time you and your infants are in town, choose your coffee bar carefully - whilst some cafés are prepared to give babyccinos as a free coffee-drinking incentive to customers with kids, others may charge as much as a £1 or more.

Making a Splash
Harry learned how to swim t’other day. On Tuesday 5th June, during our wet and rather disappointing June, the Triangle at Burgess Hill seemed like a little slice of Heaven or, at the very least, a distraction that would knacker the kids.
Headlines, Headaches and Heaven in a Towelling Robe
I did something I vowed I would never do. I asked someone I had only met a handful of times why she didn't have children
Breastfeeding A Baby With Jaundice
In the first few weeks of life there are many causes of jaundice (a yellow skin colour caused by high levels of bilirubin).
Sex and Pregnancy
A loving physical relationship is important for your wellbeing during pregnancy, and sexual intercourse can actually help your body to prepare for labour.

Why Eye Tests For Children Are Important
Up until it was suggested that I went to Vision Express to have my 3 year old's eyes tested, taking Harry for an eye test was something I had only thought about fleetingly.
