Family Magazine
Every year The Baby Show pays a visit to the NEC in Birmingham, an amazing event and opportunity for bumps, baby and mums and dads too! Whether you're looking for some new products for your little ones, interested in trying out some different brands or just fancy a fun day out, you'll find everything you need here! If it's a bit too far for you to travel for just one day, why not make a long weekend out of it? There are plenty of hotels around for you to choose from, The Crowne Plaza is one of the closest to the event itself so might work best if you don't fancy walking too far each day! One of the great things about the Crowne Plaza and Holiday inn hotels is that ‘Kids Stay and Eat Free’ too! What can you expect? With expert speakers there to give you tips and advice and to answer any questions you might have, including the amazing Annabel Karmel, they will quickly put you at ease with anything you might have on your mind, with years of experience on a huge range of baby topics, it's a great opportunity for all!
A few of my personal favorite brands will also be there, including Cosatto, BabyBjorn, Joolz, Mamas & Papas, Mia Tui & Funky Giraffe Bibs to name a few! Pop in and say hello from me! ;)
Free Facilities Tommee Tippee Feeding Area Such a fab idea if you're taking little ones with you, providing you with all you need to feed your baby as easily as possible, including bottle warmers, bibs, spoons, microwaves and even their Perfect Prep machines specially for The Baby Show guests, and in just under 2 minutes, you'll have the perfect temperature bottle of milk!
For you breastfeeding mamas there is also a super comfy feeding area with comfy seating and complimentary breast pads too!
Aldi Mamia Changing Area Conveniently located just inside the entrance to the Show, the Aldi Mamia Baby Changing Area offers a clean, safe and warm environment to change your baby. Don't worry if you've forgotten to bring anything, free nappies and wipes are provided courtesy of Aldi.
Changing tables are kindly provided by Stokke too!
