Twins – one week apart

Non identical twins Grace and Lana Jennings are very special indeed. Doctors believe they were conceived a week apart and may be a result of the rare phenomenon called superfetation. This is where the foetus begins to form in the womb where another foetus is already growing.

The parents knew something was different when the Sonographer was unable to do the scan at 12 weeks as baby was so small.

Grace was born at 2.4kg and Lana at 3kg and both doing fine.

Maternity Units

Maternity units forced to shut doors in baby boom

Almost half of maternity units closed to new admissions at least once in the past year because they were full or had too few staff

Almost half of maternity units closed to new admissions at least once in the past year because they were full or had too few staff. One unit refused new admissions for 48 hours; others closed for more than 10 hours at a time.Maidstone and Tunbridge Wells NHS Trust in Kent had 97 temporary closures in 2008, and Barnet and Chase Farm Hospitals NHS Trust in Hertfordshire had 91. A total of 104 out of 148 NHS Trusts that provide maternity services responded to the request from the Conservatives. Fifty trusts had closed their maternity unit or had been forced to divert women to another site; 14 closed their unit more than 10 times.

In total, there were 553 closures in England, compared with 402 closures in 2007, a 38 per cent rise.The shadow Health Secretary, Andrew Lansley, called for the Government to increase midwife numbers and funding.

Jacque Gerrard, director for England for the Royal College of Midwives, said: "Maternity unit closures do happen because childbirth is unpredictable and units can experience a sudden and unexpected rush. We are in the midst of a baby boom with the birth rate at its highest since 1991."

The last 12 months at 4little1s.com

The last 12 months in business....

Christianne James (40) founder of the highly successful online baby gift and nursery furniture retailer, 4little1s.com assesses her business over the last twelve months.

Website (http://www.4little1s.com)

We invested heavily when we set the website up as we wanted to relay the message that we were not a small ‘fly by night’ company that would compromise on quality. We used a web design agency that managed the whole project in terms of structure and design, although we had decided from the offset we wanted full control to be able to add and remove products ourselves, rather than having to rely on the design agency each time. I am quite technically minded and felt more than confident to be able to keep this up and have more control. This was a good decision and gives us complete control over our site today.

Stock

We are always very careful with selecting stock although we did take a risk with a more unusual line recently called Deglingos. These are very unusual looking soft toys that take the form of animals However, there is clearly a niche market for these and we get regular orders from Denmark and the UAE for some reason. We have pretty much kept to the same lines when we first started up, although some lines definitely sell better than others. We plan to review one or two lines that we are struggling with and probably just do a straight swap out with another line.

Sales

Some lines we make better margins than others and this has driven the marketing plan with time / effort as to which products to market more than others. Our main sales channel is the Internet and we are glad to making a small profit this year. We have been experimenting with School Fairs and Craft Fairs which have also been very successful. Apart from meeting customers ‘face to face’ any transactions are not usually credit cards as they are cash or cheque based, therefore avoiding any transaction costs. Finally we now have a shop front in one of the larger towns near us which works well and covers its costs as well as bringing in a small profit.

Marketing

We have marketed on a number of campaigns on and offline this year. Thinking back we have had a balloon marketing exercise which produced about a 1% sales, I personally delivered leaflets to a vast number of houses (non targeted) and I don’t think we produced any sales ! (lesson learnt). We also have done a couple of more targeted leaflet campaigns which both produced about 2 % sales. We have also been trying to consider a couple of alliances but nothing came of them; however I suspect will come together over the next few monthsWe have invested a great deal of time in SEO which we are now starting to see some real improvements. The strategies have been quite far and wide including Blogs, Forums and Social Networking amongst others. We may need to make a judgment call on the sheer volume of time this is taking up and if our time could be spend better elsewhere and then outsource this effort.My bookcase has grown quite significantly over the last 12 months with everything from Marketing for Dummies to Guerrilla Marketing as well as some other more structured methodologies for Marketing. I am beginning to wonder if I should be concentrating on PR more than Marketing as from the last few months we have been seeing more results, i.e. hard sales, from PR than Marketing. Food for thought.

The future

We have a combination of a stock and a drop ship model. The margins we make on stock are larger than the drop ship items. However, in some cases the space needed and not having to worry about importing and distributing are big benefits to us. I think we will continue to have a combination of the two to ensure a healthy balance but margins will dictate this.

Lessons learned

I certainly need to learn to be able to delegate more. Working for yourself in a start up means you usually end up being the Finance Director, Managing Director, Operation Director, Sales and Marketing Director …….and the list goes on. Having come from a corporate background where each role had been headed up by one person and a team of people, suddenly it was just little old me! While not too much of a problem initially, I now recognise as we grow it’s just not possible to do each role, well do it efficiently anyway. I need to consider giving more responsibilities to my business partner and also third parties in some of these areas in order to allow me to have a more watching brief.I have also realised the importance of ‘getting out there’ and seeing people, whether that’s at trade fairs or a marketing or PR stunt, staying inside is not always the best use of timeInvestigate alliances and benefits of, in particular with marketing.

Free Nusery Tip Sheet

FREE Nursery Furniture Tip sheet from 4little1s.com

OK, so baby is definitely on the way, you have had the scans and now you need to get organised. If you have a spare room or already have a room in mind for babies nursery, hopefully the list below will help you gather your thoughts as to what you might need. This isn’t a comprehensive list, but is a good place to start as there is so much you could buy, the list and amount you can spend is endless !Buying a complete set of nursery furniture is quite common, with a typical nursery furniture set including all the major pieces you may need, Cot, mattress, changing unit etc. These are generally more cost effective than buying individually, as you don’t end up mis-matching furniture or looking for a discontinued set a few months or years later .

NURSERY FURNITURE

Nursery furniture sets – Look out for good quality and safety tested pieces, a typical package would include cot bed and mattress, wardrobe and changing unit. These range in costs but new ones start from around £700.00

Baby Moses basket - Used in the early days to let baby sleep, some have stands so they are at your waist level.

Babies Cot - Where baby sleeps and seen often as the most exciting purchase. Measure up the room beforehand so when it arrives there are no surprises

Changing mat & covers - Make the changing mat a fun place for baby to be and more comfortable with a cover. Some can even be placed on top of the cot to make it even easier for this difficult task at the best of times

Baby height charts - Have fun while your baby grows with these height charts, bright colours add fun to any nursery. There are a variety of types from wooden handmade charts with sliding tops, to material and plastic ones.

Baby Lampshades - Babies love to watch these and having a bright and fun lampshade is a great way to brighten up a room

Baby Mobiles - Mobiles hanging from the ceiling keeps your babies attention while lying down. From our experience, we have found these great to keep baby distracted during feeding or changing nappies. See our range of bright and fun fairies, trains and shapes mobiles on our website www.4little1s.com

Baby Monitors - A baby monitor is like a microphone that allows you to hear your baby while they hopefully sleep and you are in another room. Popular fun designs can be in the shape of a flower or animal, others using digital have the designer look.

Curtains - You should outfit your nursery windows with two types of curtains: sheers that can be pulled across during the day to keep glaring sunlight out of the nursery and heavier drapes that can be pulled shut to keep the room dark during baby's nap time.

Carpets and Rugs - Not only should your rugs and carpets ideally be steam cleaned to remove any allergens, pet hair or viruses, you should also make sure that rugs have a skid free backing so that nobody is in danger of slipping in the middle of the night while holding the baby.

Chest of Drawers - You will be surprised at just how much you accumulate in terms of baby clothes. Having somewhere to put it all helps de clutter the Nursery. Look for fun designs with no sharp edges or corners.

BABY BEDDING

You will be surprised just how much bedding you will get through. Babies do make a mess, so it’s worth stocking up on a few spares. We guarantee you will be changing something in the middle of the night and you will be glad then that you bought a spare set at the time.

Baby cot bumper- Protect babies head from hitting the sides of the cot. These come in a variety of colours and patterns, and can stimulate attention and concentration. Matching sets make the nursery a great place to be

Baby Cot blankets - Snuggles become part of babies association and attachment. Lots of different styles and materials, look for extra soft.

Cot Duvet and Pillow cases - Makes sleep time fun with these brightly coloured matching sets

Baby Swaddle pod - A small sleeping bag that holds your baby snug and warm, our range is designed by a Neo Natal nurse who obviously has experience in these matters

Baby Sleep suits - Larger than a Swaddle Pod, gives baby more room and allows increased movement as they grow. Hopefully giving you a good night sleep

Baby Quilt for Cots - A variety of different colours and patterns available to made sleep time more fun. Helps baby with colours and pattern recognition. Might be worth considering buying a few of these as they can get dirty

Baby throws - Like regular throws, they provide the finishing touches to the Nursery to give them the matching look. Brightly coloured ones can be used to pick out colours in the nursery

Baby Fleece blankets - Keep your baby warm day and night with these lovely fleece blankets for your little ones. When you are not around, this is what baby embraces and cuddles

Bedding bundles – Like nursery furniture sets, you can buy bedding bundles that usually include sheets, blankets, pillowcases etc and help not having to think about buying items individually. In most cases these are more cost effective.

Finally….Baby Toys - What baby nursery could be complete without a full range of toys to stimulate their brain? Look for brightly coloured and fun to play with toys like wooden toys as well as the soft and cuddly ones. We stock a wide range of nursery toys as well as some qwirky ones, like Deglingos.

Web sales boost

I read an interesting article in Metro today about Christmas online sales were up almost 15% on a year ago according to figures out today. Shoppers have apparently spent more than a whopping £4.6 billion online – which is roughly £76 per person. This is all according to the IMRG Cap Gemini e-Retail Sales index. These figures were up 14.2% on December 2007and it is quite clear that online sales will play a big part in the recession we are going through. At www.4little1s.com we have definitely seen a good double digit increase in orders recently and hope this is due people using the web to search out quality and competitive pricing.

This quick baby shower gift buying guide will help you choose a baby shower gift that is useful and appropriate, no matter your level of baby products experience. To narrow your baby shower gift choices further, don't forget to check the many baby products reviews and buying guides on this site.
Look for a Baby Shower Gift Registry

Many parents-to-be register for the baby gifts they want at popular baby products stores, giving you a foolproof way of picking a gift you know they want. Call the parents-to-be or the baby shower host and ask if there is a baby shower gift registry. At the store, ask for a copy of the registry or browse the registry online if possible. The registry sheet tells you exactly which baby products the parents want, how many of each item they want, and whether or not each gift has been purchased yet.
Give the Gift of Disposable Diapers

Diapers may not seem the fanciest of baby shower gifts, but they may be one of the most useful. Diapers are expensive, and babies use them quickly, so new parents always appreciate a gift of diapers. Even parents who use cloth diapers might like to have a pack of disposable diapers for travel. Diapers are sized by baby's weight. Buy larger sizes instead of newborn diapers, since some newborns grow quickly and don't use many of the smaller sizes. Don't forget to throw in some baby wipes!
Buying Bottles and Pacifiers

Babies are awfully picky when it comes to bottles and pacifiers - some babies will only use one particular brand or shape. If the parents-to-be have registered for a particular type of bottles, nipples or pacifiers, it's safe to buy them for a baby shower gift. Otherwise, steer clear of these gifts until you know which type the baby will prefer. Some parents do not ever introduce their baby to pacifiers or bottles because these items can interfere with breastfeeding.

Those Tiny Baby Clothes

Baby clothes are sized by age and sometimes weight. The smallest sizes don't get a lot of wear since newborns grow quickly. Baby clothes in larger sizes will likely be used more. Use the baby's due date to figure out what season it will be when baby reaches a new clothing size, such as 6 months, and buy seasonal clothes in that size. If you don't know the baby's gender, a gift certificate is a welcome baby shower gift, allowing the parents to choose an outfit in pink or blue after baby arrives.
Knowledge for Baby - Buying Books, DVDs and Music

If you're stumped for a baby shower gift, help boost baby's brain power by choosing a classic baby book, educational DVD or music CD. Studies show that music encourages brain development in babies, so a lullaby CD or some tunes for the car would be a nice gift. Also look for one of the many DVD learning series for infants, such as Brainy Baby or Baby Einstein. Still stumped?

A copy of your favorite book from childhood is a meaningful and useful baby shower gift.

The Gift of Fun - Baby Toys

The baby shower gift possibilities are almost endless when you give the gift of baby toys. You can buy toys made for older babies for use later in baby's life, but stick with toys for ages 3 and under to avoid small parts that could choke a young baby. Toys have an age range listed on the package. If you want your gift to be used for a long time, look for a wider age range on the package. Fancy doesn't necessarily mean better when it comes to baby toys, either, babies love simple toys, too.

Lifestyle Gifts for Parents and Babies

If you want to give a baby shower gift that's out of the ordinary, consider the parents' lifestyle. For environmentally active parents, an organic baby gift is a smart choice. Are the parents into travel or outdoors adventures? A baby backpack carrier or baby bike trailer would get baby involved in family activities. Techie parents might enjoy a titanium stroller with an onboard music system. Other lifestyle gifts might include breastfeeding supplies, baby slings or cloth diapers.

Consider Gift Certificates
For busy new parents, gift certificates can make it easy to pick up last-minute items that were forgotten in the preparations for baby's arrival. Gift certificates also give parents-to-be a way to purchase a special item that they really wanted but didn't receive at the baby shower. Baby shower gift certificates don't have to be just for baby products, either. New parents might enjoy gift certificates for dinner delivery, movie rentals, house cleaning, massage, day spas or cloth diaper service.
