February comp: Win a Roanju Chair by Combi valued at $699.99

roanju-chocolate-1.jpgGive us the lowdown on your pregnancy for your chance to win this fabulous chair by Combi. Visit the February comp thread in Be In It To Win It for more details. We look forward to hearing from you and good luck!  

The Roanju baby chair from Combi is a very clever design that meets many of the needs of today’s modern mum in the one piece of furniture.

When baby is small it works as a day bed and change table and can then be used as a highchair as your baby grows and finally as a ‘regular’ chair that can be pushed under a dining room table.

Interviews with our readers' kids

alexander_thumb.jpgThese weekly 'interviews' are fun and light-hearted and hopefully reassuring for new parents to see how other kids do things.

We would love to feature your child too although at this stage we have a long queue so we will let you know when we need more. Once 'interviewed' each child can choose an absolutely  fabulous prezzie from the Under $20 range at Rudy and the Dodo for their effort.

Xander, 28 weeks, is our 40th child to be featured.

Immunisation

Every time your child has an infection, the immune system in their body makes special proteins called antibodies to fight that infection. Immunisation makes the body produce antibodies.

So your child builds up resistance to the virus or bacteria without having to have the infection with its resulting distress and complication risk. If the vaccinated person comes into contact with the disease in the future, the body is able to make antibodies fast enough to prevent the person getting sick.

These days, children are recommended many more vaccines than in the past. Some parents may be concerned that their baby or small child might not be able to cope with so many vaccines at a time. Many vaccines can safely and effectively be given ...
