Share the things you’d do to make life better for your baby with Pampers - £300 voucher to be won! NOW CLOSED

[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 would ensure that he knows that cleverness does not make you a better person.

I would love to make the world a more peaceful, fair place so my DC can grow up without discrimination for any reason.
Obviously would also be nice to win the lottery so we don't need to limit what they can do due to costs.

More achievable aim is to try and have more patience so DC don't grow up with a shouty mum!

Id love to make the world a kinder place, but as we know that's an impossible task.

I give them my time, and the chance to just be children. Very important and it's so easy to lose sight of that with our hectic modern lives.

I wish i could protect them against illness - that is the one time i feel so helpless. Other than that i just try to be there for them and treasure the little moments together - knowing all too soon they will be grown up!

I would protect my DD's innocent view of the world. She is a chatterbox and is in love with everyone we meet and I'm not looking forward to having to burst her bubble. So I guess I wish we lived in a more peaceful happier world too.

I think I try to be accepting of myself and others; so that hopefully she can accept herself and others too..and have that ease of being that is so often missing In today's world. #betterforbaby

I'd have more patience, not snap at them, and not worry about all the little things.

I'd spend less time on my phone looking at Mumsnet / Facebook etc when I know I could be playing with them.

On a larger scale - take away the threat from terrorism / war etc. Ultimately world peace.

I know I can control my first 2 points here but not the 3rd which is unlikely to happen unfortunately.

To stand still, hold on to and cherish those really lovely moments when she's laughing and allow myself to enjoy it all more (rather than be worrying about dashing off to sort dinner/cleaning/washing/shopping/endless list of tasks etc etc etc) - feels like time slips away so quickly

I'm trying to encourage independence for my two - to tackle their fears, learn to take risks and become more responsible. They're both very young - the eldest has only just started school - but I think that's one of the most important things I can do for them as their mother.

If anything then I agree with making the world a better place for them to live in.

Tricky question. Like a few others have mentioned, I'd like to take away her allergies. I hate that I've passed my faultiness on.

I wish I could take away the expense of education. I'm not sure it will be worthwhile for my children to go to university when they are older, due to the cost, and that's a real shame.

Mine are older now but when they were babies they had terrible exzema so I would of taken that away if I could :)

Baby massage works a treat. And singing plenty of lullabys. All helps to calm and relax them

Support and advise him throughout his life
Listen and live him
Make his childhood a happy one

To make life better for my two babies I make sure they are given lots and lots of love, plenty of kisses and tons of hugs. I think its important that a baby/child feels wanted and loved on this planet regardless of how different they may be.

Try and encourage as much social contact as possible away from social media

Let them have fun growing up and not have to worry so much about everyday pressures of life

have both parents at home more

Amongst many other things I would make a world where we can delight in the sight of many butterflies instead of being surprised if we see one.

#BetterForBaby teach him to feel empathy as I believe this is the key to a well rounded & much likeable personality

I would have tried to breast feed for longer and used washable nappies rather than disposable to save money and the environment.

#BetterForBaby Make a the school day fun and not a drag, its such an important part of there life and it should be fun, fun, fun

#BetterForBaby Look after them well, treat them fairly, be understanding (AND PATIENT). And be tired. It all seems so obvious, yet many don't do all this for baby.

I try to keep the atmosphere as happy as possible - lots of smiling when looking and talking to her, softly spoken conversations and no arguing or heated voices allowed!
