EDITOR

While Editor of parenting site Hush-a-byes.com, Lee also worked with Alchemy Publishing as contributing journalist and regular columnist of Your Baby’s The Irreverent Mothers. Despite her impressive qualifications and experience, it is rumoured that the real reason she was chosen to develop a parenting website was her ability to make perfect Oros - without measuring, and the photograph of Martha Stewart she keeps in her handbag. As a mom to adorable 4-year-old twin daughters Maxine and Alexandra, as well as 4.2 dogs and numerous fish, parenting is definitely a passion. She is thrilled to be part of Your Parenting.

"We're raising adults not children so we should work gently with an eye on the future."

YOUR PREGNANCY EDITOR - Jenny Collins

Jenny Collins was deputy editor of heat magazine when all of a sudden she started feeling a tad nauseous every day - and not just at the thought of Brad leaving Jen. When it was confirmed that she was indeed pregnant with not-so-little Dylan, her entire life changed. After endlessly boring her colleagues with every small detail about her pregnancy, she realised it was time to move on. Now as Editor of YP she gets to share this most momentous of life-changing events with pregnant moms countrywide and is loving every minute of it.

YOUR BABY EDITOR - Clare Huisamen

I'm not the best mom in the world, I probably don't even really rate among the top 100 best moms in the world. So what qualifies me then, to be the editor of South Africa's most loved parenting magazine? Well, it's because I know that you don't think you're the best mom in the world either. I know that, despite your very best intentions, your baby probably hasn't been raised on organic food only, she probably doesn't have a perfect routine and you've already made loads of the mistakes you promised yourself you wouldn't (and your baby's only 5 minutes old)! I know that being a mom is the most fun you'll ever have and the hardest, most exhausting job you'll ever do. I know that a single moment with your child can be at once agonising and magnificent, bring with it gut wrenching pain and sheer ecstasy...and I know how to spot a cover baby in a crowd, string a readable sentence together and commission articles I know you'll want to read.

BABA & KLEUTER REDAKTEUR - Helen Shöer

Helen Schöer knyp haarself nog elke oggend, want om die redakteur van Baba & Kleuter te wees, is haar droomwerk. Vyf jaar gelede het haar lewe vir ewig verander toe sy swanger geword het met Sophia. Haar dae as harde nuusverslaggewer by Die Burger in Kaapstad was getel. Prioriteite verander vinnig as jy swanger is. Presies drie jaar ná Sophia het klein Emily (nou 2) haar opwagting gemaak. En dis dié twee se streke wat baie van die artikelidees in Baba & Kleuter inspireer. Helen en haar Duitse man, Volker, het sowat 'n jaar gelede Johannesburg toe getrek en kan al klaar nie 'n lewe sonder donderstorms voorstel nie

"Ek wil hê elke ouer wat Baba & Kleuter lees, moet soos 'n beter ouer voel"

Breastfeeding - which breast is next?


When you’re sleep deprived don’t rely on your memory. Use a visible clue to remind you which breast to use at baby’s next feed. Why not pin a ribbon on your bra or shirt? You can change this to the other side during the feed.
