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!

Having a child with Aspergers, I want to make sure the future is as good as possible for him, as I know we won't be around forever. Whilst we can't take that away from him (and I don't think I would, as it's what makes him who he is!), we can give him lots to help him on life's journey. The world is a tough old place, let alone when the odds aren't in your favour. So I make sure he tries his best at school, to have a good education, he treats others well, so he has a group of friends to look out for and who will look out for him, he learns life skills like cooking and odd jobs at home, so he has a basic knowledge to live independently, and we save money for him, so he has a solvent start to adult life. We also make sure he is loved and knows this, so he can be happy, secure and confident, and knows he can always come to us, whatever the problem may be.

If I had a magical wish then I would wish for his allergies to disappear so he could lead a normal life.

I'd love to change the rules of the world so that ALL parents get a work/life balance. I had to go back to work when my daughter was six months old and yet her nursery fees were like a second mortgage! Free nursery places are available for people who don't work but it seems like there is very, very little available for working parents to get to spend time with their babies.

No more coughs and colds!

Get more patience - same goes for dealing with my elderly mother

To be bought up in a world like when I was growing up. Back to 1981 - going back to simple things, sunny days playing outside making your own fun and no pressures of social media etc when they grow up

I think everyone wants the same - a happy and healthy baby!

I would give them

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE
GENUINE RESPECT
SOUND VALUES TO LIVE BY
AN AUTHENTIC EXAMPLE
A HOME WITH A PERPETUAL WELCOME

these are what I would give my child

I would make people more tolerant of babies and Toddlers,when a baby is crying or a toddler is throwing a tantrum disgusted looks, tuts and comments really don't help and in fact probably make the situation worse for the parent. So for my baby I'd like to remind everyone that smiling is a fantastic gift to pass on.

give them a nest egg

I would stop thoughtless people destroying our planet, obtain world peace, & give tolerance for different religions, which would go a long way to making everyone's lives better!

I would try and relax a bit more and laugh a lot more!

Have a peaceful environment where everyone gets along!

Oh gosh, this is really hard because all I'd like to do is to make the world a less confusing place for my little man. Alfie pants is now 8 years old but has profound autism & is non verbal. He becomes so distressed when he can't communicate & is constantly overloaded by sights, sounds, smells, etc. It's awful for a mummy to see. All i want for him is to be understood.

If it were possible, I would make this world a safer place for my baby.

In an ideal world i would give up work and spend all my attention on my little one. Unfortunately that just cannot happen :(

My biggest worries for my DCs is what the world will be like when they are grown up. I dispair of the anger and violence in the world and I hope that the refugee crisis becomes something that world leaders can resolve in a peaceful and positive way. I also lament the destruction of ecologial systems like the rainforest and the near extinction of so many of our beautiful beasts. I try to encourage my DCs to be kind to others (whether people, animals or plants) and to love the natural environment. I teach them about the importance of recycling and reducing plastic consumption. I would hope they grow up to be conscientious and caring people! #BetterForBaby

I'd make it easier for my DD to read shes probably dyslexic and gets so sad that she is not keeping up with her friends.

I'd wish for a peaceful world where everyone was nice to one another!

Anything I possibly could. Nothing else will ever be as important.

If I could go back, I would have chucked my phone in the bin, I regret every minute I looked at it instead of my beautiful little family

I think I live in a town that is great for children to grow up in. I think the best thing to make life #BetterForBaby is always to try and share as much of the good things life has to offer and make sure that they get out and experience the world...the real world, not the one on screen!

I try to make the world a better place for my baby by showing him how good it feels to be loved, to love, & to be kind to others.
I try to teach him to find joy in the simple things - to love, enjoy & respect the world around him.
To be kind to people, to smile, to make new friends & find joy in the company of others, as well as time alone.
I want him to love himself for who he is, to love his body & never feel ashamed or as if he isn't good enough. I never want him to be the cause of someone else feeling as if they aren't good enough.
I want to teach him to speak out if he see something that isn't right, to stick up for others & be confident enough to let negative remarks slide off him.
If we could all teach our children this, maybe life would be better. Too many young people feel bad about themselves, are negative towards others & to themselves.
Life is precious & I want to teach my son to remember this throughout what I hope will be a long, healthy & happy life for him x

make the cot more comfy

I wish I could stop the pain of teething.
