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!

Lots of love nurturing and being there for them

My youngest little boy gained his angel wings 2 years ago aged 3. He brought so much joy to our lives and its something that is greatly missed from our life now. Id do anything i could to change that.

Id love to live in a world with no pain or the chance to take over that pain for one of my children. Id swap places with my son to make him able to have the best life he could and to experience things he was yet to experience.

There nothing i wouldnt do to make life better for my babies

encourage my child to reach for his dreams.When my son was 6 he learned to swim and ever since he wanted to go to our local pool as often as possible.If there was any other place to go to even exciting days out my son would always choose to go swimming.At first I took him swimming about once each month but he wanted to go more often and I first found it boring to go 3 times a week like he wanted.My son would beg me to take him swimming so I let him go because I could see how much he wanted to keep practicing his swimming,and I figured that going swimming was a lot cheaper than days out anyway. I loved seeing my son smiling and happy in the water,he would wave to me with the biggest smile.When he was seven he was spotted by a talent coach and my son now trains 5 times a week at the local swimming club.My son's coach says my son is a talented and promising swimmer.Who knows what the future holds for my son or the next generation of children,but I think it is important to encourage your child with their talents.All children have a talent and encouraging that talent and helping them to reach for their dreams is one of the best things we can do for our children.

I give my LO a stable home and provide what I can in the way of food; toys, heating etc

#BetterForBaby for me is being a good role model, giving love, giving time to play (I see so many mums engrossed in their smartphones than interacting with their baby - makes me so sad) I might not have all the money I would like, but I have time and love to give to my child. No child is born to judge or be racist, and there is so much of this in the world, I will make sure my child will never judge another person by the colour of their skin, background, or religion.

LeeR1985 · 22/09/2016 10:16

I will support my daughter in whatever she choose to do, no matter how crazy it may be.

I would stop the political uprest in the world.

hiddenmichelle · 22/09/2016 10:42

Forget about everyday tasks and unimportant things to make sure that we have enough time as a family without day to day stuff taking over

juju3 · 22/09/2016 10:49

devote all my time and energy to her

southernsun · 22/09/2016 10:50

I would change it so at least one of us could be at home looking after our little ones rather than both having to work full time.

Annieg1234 · 22/09/2016 11:23

id make the world a safer place for the little ones. Social media and economic pressures make this generations childhood much more challenging than ours

marees30 · 22/09/2016 11:25

My babies are growing up way too fast. To make things better for them I give lots of love but don't give in too easily. I want them to realise they have to work for things and not expect things to be handed on a plate, that's not reality. I encourage them to help around the house but make it fun as they're just kids after all!

lolly2011 · 22/09/2016 12:18

I'd give them the best start in life from making sure they have support at school to cuddles when they are hurt, I like to make sure they know that nothing is impossible if they put their mind to it.

amberlabamba · 22/09/2016 12:24

i would make life #BetterForBaby by teaching them love, acceptance and understanding of differences

jandoc · 22/09/2016 12:44

I would always try and teach them right from wrong and to have some compassion

nicsal05 · 22/09/2016 12:47

I'd take away all the pressures of being a child growing up where people have so many opinions about being 'perfect' in this celebrity driven society, I want my daughter to be herself and not long to be 'thinner', 'bigger or smaller body parts' etc etc I want her to know to me she is perfect and will always be, no matter what.

glennamy · 22/09/2016 13:14

Just giving as much time as possible to nurture, love and provide all the things they need as they get older to become a balanced happy child!

sarah861421 · 22/09/2016 13:36

I would love to be able to take away their pain ( my ds had exzcema ) and also their fustration, as I cant do either I would try to build their confidence in themselves, and always be there for them as their parent but not their friend

MrsDramaQueen · 22/09/2016 14:04

I think now it's essential to start planning for your childs future as soon as they are born. Saving for houses, cars and weddings for them, so that you know they will always be secure and have the best start throughout there life.

mo3733 · 22/09/2016 14:22

i always make time for the hour before bed to be a wind down time. Nice bath followed by relaxing baby massage and the last bottle before bed.

lhlee62 · 22/09/2016 14:38

I think they are pretty happy as they are fed, clothed and loved. I would love to be able to guarantee them a good job and a home of their own, but who knows how things will be when they are older.

libra101 · 22/09/2016 15:00

My children have grown up now, but as babies they need to learn respect and tolerance for everyone. Receive lots of love and fair discipline (when needed).

Learn skills to enable them to go forward in the world, and realise (from babyhood onwards), that we all have our unique place in the world.

We all have a chance to make our world better for everyone!

nettymay · 22/09/2016 15:30

I would encourage my babies to be kind and thoughtful and to love animals
