Mom-To-Be Unboxes The Baby Gift She Received From The Scottish Government

Mom-To-Be Unboxes The Baby Gift She Received From The Scottish Government

Published by skeptic

Some countries are far better than others when it comes to supporting their citizens, particularly parents. Scotland, for example, offers employees up to 52 weeks of maternity leave, compared to America’s paltry 12.  Another way the country helps their expectant parents is through its “Baby Box initiative,” which according to Scotland’s government website, was started in 2017 to “give every baby in Scotland an equal start in life.” One mom-to-be on TikTok unboxed the baby box she received from the Scottish government. Content creator and pregnant woman Maisie Elliott opened her baby box in a video, showing viewers just how well the Scottish government prepares moms-to-be. “I am 35 and a half weeks pregnant, and I’m gonna show you everything that I have got in my Scottish baby box,” she began. “Everyone who lives in Scotland is entitled to this free box,” Elliott explained. “It’s funded through the government, and you get it delivered … towards the end of your pregnancy.” “We’re gonna go through everything that is included in here,” she continued. “I think …

How to prepare for your bilingual baby

How to prepare for your bilingual baby

Published by skeptic

Expecting a baby, especially a first baby, is a lot for any new parent. There are so many unknowns and so much to plan for: where your baby will sleep, how you will organise feeding, changing and bathing arrangements and how you will arrange your work life so you or another caregiver are with the child. If you have the privilege of using more than one language, you may well want your child to know these languages. In the English-speaking world, many people have limited knowledge of any other language, but that is certainly not the case everywhere. Almost 60% of people aged 25–64 in the EU know at least one language other than their first language at a “good” or “proficient” level. Many children are born into families where several languages are used daily and can expect to have more than one first language. You may have grown up with more than one first language, or you parents may have different first languages. The majority language outside the home may not be either parent’s …

Wayward baby puffins get help from a community-led Puffling Patrol

Wayward baby puffins get help from a community-led Puffling Patrol

Published by skeptic

When baby Atlantic puffins in Iceland venture out of the cliffside burrows where they had hatched, they look for the light of the moon. It will guide them to the sea. But nearby town lights sometimes confuse them. This leads many to make wrong turns en route to the ocean. A community-based Puffling Patrol searches for and rescues such pufflings that have gone astray in town. These chicks — and many of the colony’s adults — are helping scientists who monitor and study the birds’ largely mysterious lives at sea. Earth: Andrew Oakley/via Wikimedia Commons and NASA (Public domain); Iceland: Kirill Shrayber; adapted by J. Krumrine; adapted by L. Steenblik Hwang The range of Atlantic puffins spans the North Atlantic — from the coasts of Canada and the northeastern United States to Greenland and Russia. These birds spend most of their lives at sea. Iceland houses the breeding site of the world’s largest Atlantic puffin colony. It’s on Heimaey, a small, rocky island. Here, adult puffins pair up and spend the summer laying and incubating …

All we know about Amber Heard’s famous exes as she announces baby number two

Published by skeptic

Amber Heard was “delighted” to learn that she was expecting her second child, a younger brother or sister for her three-year-old daughter Oonagh. The actress has been living in Spain for several years, and will occasionally share sweet glimpses into motherhood on her Instagram, though she mostly keeps a low profile these days; it is not known who the father is – Oonagh’s biological father is also unknown. She publicly came out in 2010, refusing to put a label on herself, as she said: “I don’t label myself one way or another – I have had successful relationships with men and now a woman. I love who I love; it’s the person that matters.” The 38-year-old actress has largely left the public eye in the years since her headline-making trial with ex-husband Johnny Depp, and it is thought she is raising her babies solo in Spain, but here is a look at her famous former partners from her time in the spotlight… Amber and Tasya van Ree © Dario CantatoreAmber Heard and artist Tasya Van Ree dated …
