To capture the highs – and lows – of parenting, Tommee Tippee have come up with the alternative Mini Moments milestone cards.
Hands up if most of the photos on your phone and camera are of your kids? *Puts own hand up*. When Eliza was born, I had a set of the traditional milestone cards — you know the sort, the ones that save that special moment to photographic memory forever. But past 12 months they weren’t much use, whereas the Tommee Tippee Mini Moments cards can be used from tiny tot to pre-schooler!
No matter how much we love it, there are definitely days when parenting isn’t all sunshine and roses – the long nights, the mess, the unpredictability and relentlessness of it all. Right? So, on those days, flip the cards over…
We have all been there. The brand new outfit you treated yourself to, covered in baby puke. The days when your little one just cannot be reasoned with, and everything you do is wrong. You’re not alone. Toddlers are capable of driving the toughest parent to drink some days – and it’s totally OK to feel like that. #ParentOn.

Try my Best to deal with the situation at the time, without getting emotional or showing emotion. Once I get time out, Rest; Refresh and Recuperate. Then try to be objective about the situation. Children are children and deserve tolerance, understanding and kindness. Hopefully I have done Best thing. Review with partner, and aim to agree in how we deal with parenting issues. Sometimes life is not easy. I like to be consistence with the children. Sometimes talk with them to reiterate we are a family, and need to try to be considerate of one another and the group as a whole. Celebrate accomplishments.
Try and get outside and have some fresh air a walk or go to the park, if it’s possible.
My baby is not here yet so I will read with interest all the tips provided by your readers!

Viewed it all as a challenge
Nothing was actually wrong it just needed adapting
So many parents feel failures because of others comments and expectations -I tended to try and ignore these people
Try and have an early night. Go to sleep tomorrow is another day
I make sure I always have a cup of tea to hand!
Talk to my sister
I try to relax by doing yoga and going out for a long walk to clear my head.

Try and get some me time when husband came home, even if it was walking the dog!

Count to 10, take a deep breath and smile and count down to bedtime in my head haha
I used to count to 10, now its 20 and just walk away and take a breather for a bit. The good old T-bag comes in useful too.
count down to bedtime, drink loads of coffee and stay calm regardless! once theyve gone to bed, i take a long walk out on my own, some peace and fresh air always does me good
I cope by having a bar of chocolate at the end of the day and watch rubbish tv
A gin after the kids go to bed!
I take a deep breath and make sure I’m calm, I like to then also seek wise advice from other-mum-friends.
