Welcome to the latest edition of Baby Matters.

Our new
Autumn collection is now online, and we're thrilled to announce that Red Magazine have chosen their favourite outfits! Louise Threapleton, Red's Executive Fashion Editor, tells us how she solved her wardrobe crisis and stayed stylish while she was pregnant.

This month we show you how to
communicate with your baby. We also look at the latest fitness phenomenon for new mums that's sweeping the nation - Powerpramming! Babylicious give us the latest advice on the right time to wean and a delicious basic puree of potato and parsnip with carrot. Plus, you have the chance to win three fantastic learning toys.

Keep emailing us with your suggestions and ideas on how we can improve Baby Matters, we'd love to
