Written by Claire Burgess, Family Consultant. Nappy rash can be a real pain in the bottom (sorry but it had to be done!) for little one and their parents. It can affect children to varying degrees and is not pleasant for anyone involved as it can be painful and sore and cause little ones to be extremely unsettled.

Written by Claire Burgess, Family Consultant. At one time or another most parents and child carers find themselves in the position of trying to persuade a little one to eat something and quite often it is something they have previously loved and are now refusing!

We all go through phases and stages of enjoying certain foods but then sometimes just not wanting to eat it. Lots of things can impact on this, from the amount of fresh air that we have had that day, exercise or lack of exercise, number of snacks or size of the previous meal, peer pressure or generally just how you might be feeling! Our children are no different and often they aren’t involved in the process of preparing food, so plates of food are just be put in front of them and sometimes they just don’t feel like eating it!
