A calmer approach to parenting - Our experience as Huggies Wipes Ambassadors

I’ve always been prepared to take on anything life throws at me. I see myself as level headed and able to take on a challenge, but parenting. Parenting is hard.

Becoming a mum is a truly amazing experience. It’s hard work, but worth every second. What’s harder is not having your own mum there to guide you. Somebody to help you along the way and teach you the things she did with you as a baby. Nobody to pick up the phone and answer those vital questions when they won’t stop screaming or to simply tell you how well you’re doing. To tell you you’ve got this and things will get better. That’s hard.

As you may know for the past 6 months Taylor and I have been ambassadors for Huggies Wipes. We’ve also had access to a variety of industry professionals throughout our ambassadorship. Having the opportunity to ask experts Natalie Lee (midwife) and Gayle Berry (baby bonding expert) our questions has been of great benefit to us.

I’ve learn’t how to make change time a fun experience with Taylor. Something which used to be a daily struggle for us is now a simple task. Tickling tiny toes and hearing your baby roar with laughter at a time that was once full of tears and tantrums. I would say it’s a delight but you know their isn’t much delight in a dirty nappy!

Our ambassadorship has been an incredible experience. It’s given me an immeasurable amount of confidence when it comes to maintaining a strong bond with my Taylor. It’s given me the confidence to pick up my camera and vlog instead of always hiding behind a keyboard. The ability to stay strong and tackle everything motherhood has to throw at me.

Seeing how far Taylor and I have come throughout our ambassadorship amazes me. I feel I’ve become a lot more relaxed and started to take a calmer approach to parenting.

Thank you to Huggies for helping us on our journey to better bonding. Next stop, Potty Training! Aaaaaaah.
