Hi,

I won't go on but if you need advice on easy lightweight prams available on the market and workable by a disabled parent, how to bath baby when you can't bend down to a floor, how to dress a baby when you can't do poppers, safety gates that are easy to operate as a disabled parent with poor dexterity etc then go to the following blog link.

disabledpositiveparent.blogspot.com

It has been set up by disabled parents for disabled parents and all advice is backed up by where you can buy easy to use baby items available in normal high street baby stores, not an NHS aid in sight!!!!
Please, if you are a disabled parent, I ask you join my blog because it is free, I hope to eventually establish a network, a community purely for disabled parents who want to be independent parents. I have plans but need other disabled parent input as my husband and I have different types of arthritis that affects us both differently but we can not offer advice specifically for a parent with MS, we can only offer generalised advice. If you can help please come and join me, you are so so welcome and would really start helping.

Cheers yummy mummies and daddies x
