Meet The Maker: Eco Glitter Fun

To celebrate National Cupcake Week from 19 Sept, we've brought you this super chocolatey little number

When babies take their first tentative steps, it isn’t long before parents begin the search for their very first shoes. In fact, many purchase cruisers as soon their little ones begin to crawl, if not before with the idea being that young children require support for their developing feet. Whilst parents often spend a great deal of time researching the correct shoes and taking their children for fittings, the idea that children need shoes at all at such a young age has, in fact, become a harmful myth that is taking its toll on their overall development. But, many experts believe that the best thing for a child’s foot is no shoes at all.

This is a really difficult subject to write about. I’m no Kathryn Blundell, so you won’t find general vitriol and made up stories about crazed breastfeeders here. In fact, I have breastfed both of my children and am still feeding my youngest at 13 months with no intention of stopping before she’s ready. So, it would probably surprise a lot of people to know that I really don’t like it and am sort of looking forward to the day my little one weans… I can’t pretend that we’ve had a rough ride.
