About us

Welcome to motherandbaby.com, the home of Mother&Baby! We'd love to tell you all about our brilliant brand so scroll down to find out more...

Our history

Do you want to know the best way to settle your baby to sleep? Are you searching for cures for morning sickness? And ideas for how to get your toddler to tuck into their dinner fuss-free? Mums have been looking for answers to these questions and more since the beginning of time – and when Mother&Baby magazine first hit the newsstands in 1956, they knew just where to find them.

The magazine ran for a whopping 64 years before it ceased publishing in July 2020, continuing to serve readers with trusted and engaging content online at motherandbaby.com where it has grown from strength to strength.

Our content

While the magazine may no longer be around, on our website you'll still find all the latest expert advice covering every aspect of becoming a mum. Our extensive content will guide you through each stage of pregnancy, prepare you for birth, get to grips with new motherhood and even take the tantrums out of toddlerhood.

You might be a mum – but you're still you. That's why motherandbaby.com brings you everything you need to know about sex and relationships, work and money, fashion, beauty and sleep, along with great health advice for the whole family.

Don’t want to be cooking eight meals a day? Neither do we! So we've created easy-to-shop recipes designed to be eaten as enticing purée or exciting finger foods, as well as delicious grown-up meals.

And that’s not all. Our shopping section is packed with expert and mum-tested reviews, buyers guides and galleries of all the must-have products designed to make life as a mum that much easier.

So, whether you want the latest news, expert advice, food or shopping inspiration, you'll find it all at motherandbaby.com

Our community

Of course, the other experts we regularly consult are mums like you! We regularly check in with fellow mamas on our social media platforms Facebook and Instagram and our social group #mumtribe and relay this information as best we can. We value your individual experience when it comes to pregnancy and motherhood, so the information and stories you share with us help us to continue to provide the best information for mums who use our site.

Our community is so important because the more parents we reach, the more we can share the wealth of first-hand expertise, with everything from your favourite products, top sleep training tips, breastfeeding stories and more. We try to feed as much of these discussions back into our content to help you and other mums find the advice they need, fast, and be the resource you need, when you need it.

Our recommendations

We all know that babies need a lot of stuff, which is why product recommendations and reviews are a large part of what we do, along with our annual Mother&Baby Awards.

This is why it's important to know more about how we test these products to help you make the best decision for you and your baby, whether it's the best travel system or baby bath.

Do you make affiliate commissions?

We work with a variety of affiliate partnerships and we may receive a commission for purchases made through our links. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

How does this impact your editorial work?

Our affiliate partnerships do not impact the product choices we make, or the reviews we write. There is no pressure on our editorial team to choose particular products or brands; we won’t recommend a product that we don’t believe in. The products will speak for themselves when you invest in them.

The Mother&Baby Awards

Dubbed 'The Oscars of Parenting', the Mother&Baby Awards celebrates and endorses top-notch products and services catering to new parents across the UK. Now in its 31st year, our renowned testing program enlists the help of thousands of expectant mothers and parents of babies and toddlers, who put a variety of products to the test in their daily routines. Our primary goal is to identify the crème de la crème of products across a spectrum of competitive categories, spanning from travel essentials to feeding tools, nursery and playtime accessories, toiletries, pregnancy, and postnatal care.
