My Baba Measure: What’s Hot This Week

From the latest Parental Control podcast and bullying prevention talks to zero-hassle jumpsuits and co-working creche space, here’s what the My Baba team are loving this week.

New podcast alert! Why Is Sugar So Addictive?

Our latest podcast has landed! Why is sugar so addictive and what damage is it doing to our children is the hot topic this week. Leonora is joined by Lizzie King, nutritionist and founder of Lizzie Loves Healthy to talk about the sweet spot, healthier alternatives and whether the damage of eating sugar in our own childhoods is reversible. The podcast is available to download on Apple Podcasts and Spotify or you can listen on our website here.

Ingenious and accessible: Leim’s zero-hassle jumpsuits

“I don’t want to be out for drinks (in a toilet cubicle that doesn’t lock) holding my jumpsuit in one hand and the door shut with the other” is how Leim’s practical jumpsuit came into being. Henrietta Lawrence, Leim’s founder, has designed a jumpsuit that works around your body rather than the other way around. Both functional and stylish, you can go to the loo without taking the whole lot off. Game-changer.

A co-working space for parents: Cuckooz Nest

An office with creche space is the concept of Cuckooz Nest, London’s first co-working environment that allows parents to be close enough to their children to breastfeed and care for them without the distractions of working at home. Rather than shelling out for daycare and office space, Cuckooz Nest piles the two into one and facilitates you looking after your children in a child-friendly workplace. The pay-as-you-go office is based in Clerkenwell, a short walk from Farringdon station.
