[RebeccaEMumsnet]

For many, the Paralympic games are inspiring and remind us of the achievements which can be made in the face of adversity and the ways that the athletes have fought to make life better for themselves despite their injuries or disabilities.
Pampers has partnered with Sainsbury’s to support team GB at the Paralympic games so that Paralympic athletes can make their lives better and they would like to know what you would do if you could to make life better for your baby – whether they’re actually a baby, or now growing up too soon.

So, what else would you do to make life #BetterForBaby?

All those who post below will be entered into a prize draw where one MNer will win a £300 Sainsbury's voucher.

Thanks, and good luck!

I have twin boys, one who has learning difficulties and executive functioning disorder. I would do anything to make his life easier. Daily he struggles, academically and also sociallising with others as he feels he is different to everyone else. Just to take away some of that strain if i could, i would.

I would firstly make paternity leave longer for Dads, and at a better rate of pay so that Dad's can have more time to bond with baby and help out in those tough early weeks.
I would also change the attitude of society towards women having an emphasis on looks in order to be successful and achieve - it would not be looked down upon for a girl to be smart or clever (starting in school!)
Oh my there is so much, I could go on forever.
Mainly I would like world peace - of course! A secure, stable environment for her and everyone ! oh the ideas..

I would surround him with love and understanding, so he could achieve his dreams.

I would love my child to grow up without the fear of being different

[Jocelynne123]

My girl isn't a baby anymore but she has the worlds most painful chronic pain disease. It causes her constant pain, she's already had 5 operations and takes so many tablets. But she is so tough and won't let it wreck her life. I would give anything to take it away from her, to have her not be in pain. I would take it in an instant from her. Or preferably find a cure so nobodies child has to experience never ending pain xx

I have twins, one of whom had to have both feet removed due to meningitis at 4. I sometimes watch him looking at his brother and can see how he wishes he could run around like him and do some of the things he can do. He is also very shy and aware of the differences to other children. he does have rigid prosthesis but they do not replace or bring back what he has lost and the movements he can no longer do so if i could make life better for him it would be by showing him that his disabilities do not affect who he is or what he can become. I would move the paralympics to once a month if i had a magic wand because he was glued to the screen at the athletics and so will do my best to get him enrolled at a young age to an atheletics program for disabled people.

being able to stope the teething pain

My DS was poorly up until he was almost a year old due to allergies and not being able to get the right treatment, I would of loved to have got things settled sooner and really enjoyed those first months.

[cluckyhen]

I would erradicate war, ensure health care was available for all and that they had a roof over their heads for the entirety of their lives

[becky004]

I would move the earth to make things better for my DS, he is autistic with ADHD and every day I fight for him so that he has the same opportunities as all his peers.

[Devilfish]

Try and get back from home that little bit earlier to spend more quality time as a family

[Rigbyroo]

In an ideal world we would have more money and more time and perhaps things would be better. Realistically though all I have to offer is love and lots of it. Making sure they know they are loved can make a day better.

[mwatmough]

to make sure that they are a happy as possible

[rocketriffs]

Always be there for him to offer love and care unconditionally.

#BetterForBaby I would take my little girls growing pains away that she keeps waking up crying with

[grannybiker]

Oh my, there's so much I wish I could do to make life better for my precious ones.
Realistically, I try to make sure they always feel loved and safe by being there whenever they need me.

[sofieellis]

I'd like to make life better for babies all over the world. There's no excuse in this day and age for children to be suffering from war, family and preventable/curable diseases.

There is enough wealth in the world for everyone to be safe and healthy, but unfortunately, I don't see a magic wand to take away the greed that causes such suffering. :(

[Pigeonpea]

Take away all her allergies - since day one she has fought to be here with multiple food allergies
In and out of Great Ormond Street Hospital - she's awesome and a fighter, but it would be amazing to (have one full nights sleep!!!!) to relieve her of her pain and discomfort

[ha2el]

I think the important thing to do to make life better for your baby is to create a loving and stable home life, so that what ever they grow to do, or what ever happens to them, they will feel the confidence and security of family support.

[PeppaAteMySoul]

If I could afford it I would buy a car and learn to drive as I think that would open more opportunities for me and my children it terms of the activities/ baby and toddler Gropius we could access

[MiddleClassProblem]

I would move to an area where we could access more things to do as I don't drive and even if I could, I couldn't afford a car. The nearest play park is a 30 minute walk away.

Alternatively, win the lottery? sigh
