Welcome to the latest issue of Baby Matters.

Happy New Year! The last year has probably been a whirlwind of exciting new experiences as you've become a New You - a mum! We've provided some tips on how to manage the emotional side of this life changing experience. And speaking of change, have you set yourself some New Year resolutions? We've suggested a few easy to keep resolutions especially for mums that are guaranteed to make you feel good about yourself. If you've started weaning your baby, perhaps one of your resolutions is to spend less time in the kitchen and more time with your little one. If so, take a look at our time-saving meal preparation ideas. And don't forget to enter our competition to win £50 of Blooming Marvellous gift vouchers.

All the best for a great year ahead.
