Practical parenting tips for babies and young children
Becoming a parent changes everything. Suddenly, there are thousands of decisions to make, endless advice to hear, and a constant stream of things you’re told you must buy or do. For many families, especially in the early days, it can feel overwhelming.
Baby Things Tips was created to make that experience a little lighter by sharing practical, honest parenting tips for babies and young children — without pressure, guilt, or unrealistic expectations.
This blog is a space for parents, caregivers, and families looking for clear, supportive guidance they can actually use in real life. No judgement. No perfection. Just helpful information that meets you where you are.
What you’ll find here
At Baby Things Tips, we focus on everyday parenting topics that matter most during the early years, including:
- Which baby items are truly worth buying — and which ones you can confidently skip
- Baby development milestones and growth spurts, explained in a simple, realistic way
- Infant and toddler behaviour, and what’s normal at each stage
- Daily routines, including sleep, feeding, and transitions
- Parenting tips based on real experiences, not ideal scenarios
Our goal is to help you feel more confident, informed, and supported as you navigate parenthood.
A realistic approach to parenting
There’s no such thing as a perfect parent, and no single “right” way to raise a child. Every baby develops differently, and what works for one family may not work for another — and that’s okay.
Here, we believe in:
- Doing what works best for your family
- Making informed choices, not pressured ones
- Learning as you go
- Giving yourself grace on the hard days
Parenting is a journey, not a checklist.
