This month baby brand, aden + anais, known for its iconic 100% cotton muslin products – will unveil an exclusive pop-up in Harrods. aden + anais was created by first time mother, Raegan Moya-Jones. When Raegan moved to America and her first daughter Anais was born, she was surprised to discover she couldn’t find the muslin [...]
The logistical nightmare of trying to board a plane with a young child or baby might finally be over! We tried out the new Babyzen YOYO buggy and you’ll never believe it but my (overfilled) day bag is more of a challenge. Babyzen is the award winning pushchair range coming from France, whose speciality [...]
One for anyone experiencing the thrilling occasion of baby’s first Christmas this year, Organic Monkey is the supreme in baby skincare! High on our list of products to spoil your little one – and not unknown to use a bit myself – this lovely range by Organic Monkey is pure, natural and soothing even on [...]
Like a flower bomb to brighten up your days, the styling for this special edition of the Cosatto Swift Lite Supa Pushchair is a hit with us this autumn putting a big, bright smile on our face as soon as we opened the box! Cosatto are hitting all the right notes with their designs, with [...]
Boys in tights! Why is it such a quandry? I have had actual discussions – that were causing some consternation – on whether it’s OK to dress little boys in tights under their trousers in the colder winter months. But why should fluxling #1 have freezing cold legs while his older sister is warm and [...]
The statistic that 1 in every 9 babies are born either premature or sick in the UK is pretty terrifying. That’s over 80,000 babies every year with one being admitted to special care every six minutes. It must be agonising for those parents, faced with the overwhelming emotions of having a new baby to be hit [...]
Kids dungarees can never go out fashion in our opinion, and are equally as perfect for little boys and little girls. But really great ones can be difficult to find. So when we first caught sight of new British brand Grubbies at the Bubble tradeshow back in January, we were instantly impressed. Grubbies [...]
The words baby highchair and design statement may seem to be at opposite ends of the style dictionary, especially for the uninitiated in modern day baby products. Take the chairs you see in any restaurant with their plastic-y frames and sickly pvc seats. But in fact there are some wonderful baby highchairs on the market [...]
Prams and pushchairs are increasingly a fashion object as well as a functional necessity. And while the function is really important, the fashion is the fun bit and of course we all love it when we turn heads with our chosen mode of pushing power. So when we were sent the Cosatto Yo! Golightly stroller [...]
They say that your whole life is turned upside down when you have your first child. Well they are right. This is a time when the cliché is spot-on. The nerve crunching drama of the birth itself. Once you leave the secure confines of the hospital it hits you. Your life is no longer your [...]
The new Bambino Mio miosolo is an all in one reusable cloth nappy, designed for eco-friendly convenience. And in some wonderful block colours – right on trend with that one – it’s a thumbs up from us! I can’t quite believe we’re doing a nappy feature, but anyone who knows us and our changing habits [...]
As a universal parenting-whole, we are more and more careful about baby skincare and what we put in and on little bodies. Sometime this can go overboard – I know someone who was still sterlising their child’s cups at age 3! I mean, as if they are not putting snot and mud all over their [...]
It’s lovely to discover a new kids fashion brand, and whilst Tartine et Chocolat is by no means new (it’s been thrilling the kids in Paris since 1977) it is a new one on me. With children’s fashion collections that are subtle and beautiful. The complete Tartine et Chocolat universe includes girls, boys, babies, furniture, [...]
The Estelle & Thild Baby and Child Ecorganic kids skincare range is a real treat, and we’ve loved trying it out on the fluxlings! Newly available at London’s Urban Retreat, it’s about time the UK market had some real quality skincare for kids. Always a believer in the importance of what you put in or on [...]

Great for being outside in the [...]
Otterburn Baby blankets are made in a mill in Northumberland that has been weaving luxury wool blankets since 1821. At fluxlings we are strong believers in heirlooms. Heaven knows, when you have a child you are innundated with so many gifts. They are all well meaning, and gratefully accepted on that level. But if we [...]
