I just want my baby to be independent and not just follow the crowd. Be what he wants to be no matter what..... As long he is a professional footballer and can buy mummy and daddy a lovely big house lol. No really I want him to do what makes him happy.

I would make teething a joyful experience for the little ones! x

I wish things could be a bit more simple. There's all these early years guidelines what a child should or should not be doing,how a child should or should not behave. I wish their was less pressure for such young babies toddlers and preschooler reach certain levels by certain times and just let children be children

I wish my DDs could grow up without feeling too much pressure of conforming to a certain image etc.

The things I do to make life #betterforbaby are:
To let both my children be children for a long as possible without all the pressure they have from school, TV, computers and friends. Just for them to be happy and the lovely kids i know they are with out a care in the world make fun memories to look back on when they are older. Also helping them be the best they can and to achieve what they want to achieve.

As long as they smile every day i couldn't wish for more

If everyone was just nice to each other it'd be better for everyone and therefore better for my baby

#BetterForBaby Longer paid paternity leave, perhaps, 4 weeks. I read that studies show babies who spend time with their Dads are smarter! My husband had 1 unpaid day off for our first baby, and 4 days off for our second baby!

Not so relevant just at this point but I want to instill at as an early an age as possible to just be adventurous and explore and for me to try to not intervene as much as with my first.

I would spend more time with them. I love my work, and it makes me a better mum to have my own life and career. But if I could make more time I would do this.

A world in which we're better at getting along with each other and can work together to tackle "big planet" problems.

I will teach her to be kind. I will teach her to value her body, which is capable of amazing things, and to speak up for what is right if she encounters injustice. I will tell her every day how loved she is and give her the confidence to know that she can change the world.

I wish so so much that when my darling boy was born that I hadn't had shingles! I really couldn't breastfeed as I was in so much agony, and I so wanted to make sure his first year he got the very very best from me.
I know he is happy, healthy, sweet natured and reaching all his milestones well, but I would have so loved to have known I was giving him exactly what was needed...Hey ho, as long as my boy always knows I would die for him in a heartbeat, and never will love anything nor anyone half as much as I love him, I'm sure he will be fine! x

To give my baby boy as many opportunities in life as I can and teach him to grasp him life with both hands.

I'd take my DS's eczema away :(

Make sure I had saved up before hand to be able to not have to be stressing out about going back to work and doing overtime

I want my children to know they are adored. I want to teach them valuable life skills, I want to raise them as strong independent characters who go after their goals. I want to teach them kindness, empathy and patience.

I am so very sad that they will grow up with so much technology and social media right there in front of them. I get annoyed with myself for not being more strict with screen time. However I do encourage healthy activities lots of fresh air and to get enjoyment out of simple things such as a long walk or a picnic.

I wish I had more patience. I wish I had more time to play with them.

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

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

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.

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

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. :(

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.

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

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

to make sure that they are a happy as possible
