Parenting expert issues a warning over a dangerous pram mistake in winter & five tips to keep your baby warm

DAILY walks in fresh air are essential – but how to keep your little one warm and safe, as the temperatures plummet in winter?

As Brits are warned to brace for a minus 16C cold snap today, one parenting expert has revealed how to make sure your baby is warm this chilly season – and a dangerous pram mistake to avoid at all costs.

Kirsty Carroll, a parenting expert at Kiddies Kingdom, has listed five essential tips for keeping our little ones safe and toasty in their pushchairs during cold winter walks.

Sharing her advice, Kirsty highlighted one dangerous mistake that parents are often seen making in the winter months – covering the pram with a blanket.

While parents may think this will help keep their kid warm, it can actually be quite hazardous, potentially restricting airflow and making your baby uncomfortable.

Warning parents of the common error, Kirsty noted that this mistake could even put them at risk of overheating.

Keeping your baby warm

Kirsty said: “Layer up on clothes, as this traps the heat to keep your little one warm. A good rule of thumb is to give your baby one extra layer of clothing than what you’re wearing.

“A snug base layer, insulated mid-layer, and weatherproof outer layer are ideal to shield them from the cold. Babies lose the most heat through the top of their heads, so don’t forget a hat!” she told Daily Star.

She stressed that you should avoid covering the pram’s opening with a blanket, adding: “If tucking your baby in with a blanket, only ever go up to their chest, leaving their face exposed.

”A great alternative to a blanket is a foot muff, these are designed to fit into your pram or pushchair and sometimes have a harness for extra safety.”

Protection against the elements

A rain cover is also another essential to snap up for walks during the cold spell, as it will keep the little one dry and shielded from any harsh wind.

Keeping your baby dry and warm is a must in the winter season, as wet or damp clothes won’t dry out as quickly – and it can even put your baby at risk of hypothermia.

Reflective Accessories

If you pop outside for a stroll during the later hours when it’s already dark, then the evenings can pose a great deal of safety problems for parents with pushchairs and prams.

To ensure the safety of yourself and your child, Kirsty said: “Stick to main roads and avoid routes without streetlights.

“You can also add reflective tape or reflective patches to your pushchair to increase its visibility in low light.”

Sharing the tips with the publication, Kirsty reminded parents to not forget to also make yourself visible on poorly lit routes – and this is where a reflective vest or sash comes in handy for everyone’s safety.

More parenting hacks

IF you want to make your life easier as a first-time mum, here's nine hacks you won't want to miss.

1. Routine Charts

Create visual charts for daily routines. Use pictures and stickers to make them engaging for younger children.

2. Meal Planning

Plan meals a week in advance to save time and reduce stress. Involve your children in meal prep to teach them cooking skills.

3. Toy Rotation

Keep a portion of toys stored away and rotate them periodically. This keeps playtime fresh and exciting without the need for constant new purchases.

4. DIY Cleaning Solutions

Make child-safe cleaning solutions using vinegar and baking soda. It’s effective and keeps harsh chemicals away from little hands.

5. Time-Out Jar

Create a time-out jar filled with calming activities written on slips of paper. When emotions run high, children can pick an activity to help them settle down.

6. Educational Apps

Utilise educational apps and websites to make screen time productive. Look for ones that offer interactive learning in subjects your child is interested in.

7. Command Centre

Set up a family command centre with a calendar, key hooks, and a bulletin board. It helps keep everyone organised and aware of daily schedules.

8. Emergency Kit

Keep a small emergency kit in the car with essentials like snacks, water, first aid supplies, and a change of clothes. It’s a lifesaver for unexpected situations.

9. Label Everything

Use labels for clothes, school supplies, and lunch boxes. It makes it easier to keep track of belongings, especially in shared spaces like schools.

Reliable brakes

You must be able to brake your pushchair when needed. Kirsty advised to opt for a pram with practical brakes, recommending that you should best look for a model where both wheels lock.

Keep wheels clean and clear

The soggy weather conditions can quickly turn pram wheels into a muddy mess, making it a real struggle to steer your baby’s chariot.

To remove any wet mud, Kirsty said parents can use a hose or pressure washer, or a stiff brush with warm water and washing-up liquid to get rid of dry mud.

However, it’s not just the mud you have got to watch out for – the rock salt scattered on the roads and footpaths can also ruin your pushchair’s wheels with corrosion damage.

To tackle this, the parenting pro’s top tip is giving the wheels a regular scrub and spritzing them with a silicon-based spray to keep them spinning without a hitch.

The Traitors host, 52, has three children – and her skin always looks incredibly glowy.

And it turns out that she swears by a popular product for permanently dewy, hydrated and youthful-looking skin. 

So if your skin is looking a bit lacklustre this winter, but you’re on a budget and can’t afford to break the bank on posh skincare – fear not, we’ve got you covered.

The brunette beauty, recognised for her iconic fringe, raved about a viral product that will ensure your skin looks glowy and youthful in no time at all – Skin Food by Weleda. 

Claudia told Get the Gloss: “I am extremely keen on Skin Food by Weleda.”

She beamed: “It does what it promises. My skin inhales it.” 

Not only is Claudia a fan, but pregnant Michelle Keegan, 37, and Posh Spice, 50, love it too.

Speaking to Women’s Health about her beauty routine, Michelle said: “I love Weleda Skin Food

“It’s heavier and I wear it at night, about three times a week.”

Victoria Beckham, who recently shut down surgery rumours, has also praised the cheap buy and admitted that she uses it on both her face and body. 

Speaking to Into The Gloss, Victoria named Weleda Skin Food as one of her top beauty buys.

The pop star turned fashion icon described the product as “thick and buttery” and explained: “By the time I leave the house, I feel as if it’s really sunk in. Like my skin’s had a good drink.”

It does what it promises. My skin inhales it

Claudia Winkleman

Not only this, but on Instagram, the beauty guru praised the buy as her “beauty secret” and wrote: “It keeps your skin so hydrated and moisturised.

“It’s really, really thick and I love how it feels all over the body. It’s a really great product.”

Top 3 beauty products every woman should be using

Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook shared the holy-grail products every woman needs to be using.

A cleanser, SPF, and hair oil are must-haves within beauty routines. 

A cleanser is crucial for healthy skin as it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities for flawless skin. This skincare step not only cleanses the face and removes dirt, but also prevents breakouts and premature skin ageing, helping you maintain a healthy, youthful, and blemish-free complexion. 

The Aveeno Face Calm+ Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser is a go-to of mine due to its gentle formula that soothes and restores the skin’s appearance and texture. 

SPF is non-negotiable and should be in everyone’s daily skincare routine. 

Even on cooler, cloudier days, our skin is exposed to the sun’s UV rays which can be harmful to unprotected skin and even lead to damage. These damages include sunburn, pigmentation changes, and wrinkles which can impact the skin’s texture and appearance. In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer. 

Applying SPF daily prevents these damages and protects the skin from harmful rays. I recommend the Beauty Of Joseon Rice & Prebiotic Sunscreen PA++++ SPF50+ for its lightweight, non-clumping texture that absorbs quickly for a natural finish and maximum protection. 

Hair oil has many benefits and should be regularly used. This treatment can strengthen and protect the hair from external stressors while improving its appearance and shine. Regularly applying hair oil can also reduce breakage and even encourage hair growth for longer, fuller locks. Hair oils also target the scalp, reducing dandruff and improving its health through exfoliation. 

I recommend using this deeply nourishing treatment a couple of times a week or more depending on the hair’s moisture levels. The Hair Syrup Rapunzel Pre-Wash Oil Treatment is a nutrient-rich treatment that revitalises strands to promote a happy scalp and healthy-looking locks. Apply the syrup throughout damp hair before washing; massage from root to tip and allow the formula to penetrate strands before rinsing and styling.

The best-selling moisturiser, which you can buy from Amazon, Boots or even Waitrose, is designed with dry and dehydrated skin in mind but is suitable for all skin types.  

It can be applied specifically to problem areas or all over the face and body too – and will leave skin feeling and looking great. 

The formula is a blend of gentle, natural ingredients, including viola tricolor, calendula and chamomile. 

It keeps your skin so hydrated and moisturised

Victoria Beckham

Not only can it be used as a daily moisturiser or an overnight treatment, but it can even be applied on dry hands too – making it perfect for winter. 

And if you’re strapped for cash, fear not as little goes a long way with this product.

A 30ml tube will last you ages – and if you want to give it a go without breaking the bank, you’ll be thrilled to know that you can find a mini tube for just £2.99 from Holland & Barrett

Beauty fans beam

The affordable find has over 26,000 five-star ratings on Amazon, with shoppers loving its natural ingredients and ‘lovely glow’.

Several beauty enthusiasts claimed it’s the ‘best moisturiser’ on the market, whilst others called it the “holy grail of skincare”.

My beauty regime is incomplete without this product

Amazon shopper

One woman beamed: “I’m a woman in her 50’s going through menopause so as you can imagine my face gets extremely dry but this keeps it moisturised and goes under makeup lovely.

“I recommended it to my friends and they are all now buying this as it is very good value for money as you only require a small amount.”

Another happy shopper wrote: “This is the best I have ever had and from now on I won’t spare from it.”

Someone else added: “The more I use this the more I like it. I really like it for the backs of my hands and cuticles. 

“Only a tiny dab is needed and leaves a lovely glow.”

Whilst another shopper expressed: “My beauty regime is incomplete without this product.”

Garnier have changed the game with their 36p spot patches that are TOTALLY invisible – even under make-up

A WOMAN has praised Garnier for “changing the skincare game” with their new invisible spot patches.

Victoria Underwood took to TikTok to share just how much the patches blend into the skin – even under make-up.

Garnier
They’re currently on offer on TikTok – and work out at just 22p a patch[/caption]

She began by asking if anyone could see the patches on her face, before turning her ring light on and asking again.

“Even with my light on, I still can’t see them. This is insane!” she said.

Victoria added that she’d worn the patches for the past eight hours, and struggled to even find them when it came to removing them.

“You can’t see them when you’ve got no make-up on,” she said.

“You can’t see them when you put make-up on top.

“They literally make your spots disappear. And they actually work!”

She then showed the “stuff” the patch had managed to pull out of the skin while she’d been wearing them.

“I literally love these things because one, they’re invisible,” she said.

“Two, they’re affordable.

“Three, they stop any more bacteria or make-up getting on my spot.”

And concluding her list, Victoria said that the other bonus of the patches is that they stop her from squeezing or picking at the spots.

“They are so good,” she said.

“I love these. I am obsessed!”

In the video caption, Victoria wrote: “I have never used a blemish patch that literally becomes invisible!!! 

“@Garnier have literally changed the #skincare game.”

While the patches are on offer in Boots, they’re even cheaper on TikTok – coming in at just 22p a patch.

Biggest skincare trends for 2025

Face The Future’s Head of Clinic, Kimberley Medd, shared the five skincare trends predicted to take off in 2025.

1. Exosomes 

Exosomes are the buzzword for 2025, taking advanced skin regeneration to new heights. These micro-messengers signal skin cells to repair damage, boost collagen, and accelerate recovery. Whether in topical formulations or clinic-based treatments, they’re a gamechanger for targeting ageing and compromised skin barriers.

2. Streamlined Skincare

The age of 12-step routines is fading as consumers shift to more intentional, multi-functional products. Streamlining skincare not only saves time but also reduces the risk of overloading your skin. In 2025, we’ll see a rise in hybrid products like CeraVe AM Facial Moisturising Lotion SPF50  which combine active ingredients like ceramides with a broad-spectrum SPF50 for simplified, effective results.

3. Vegan Collagen 

Plant-based collagen will dominate the skincare world in 2025, providing a sustainable, ethical alternative to traditional animal-derived collagen. Expect vegan collagen in everything from moisturisers to serums, designed to enhance elasticity and hydration whist catering to a more eco-conscious audience.

4. The Rise Of AI

AI is revolutionising the beauty landscape, making it possible for consumers to get truly personalised skincare solutions. In 2025, we predict a dramatic shift towards AI-powered tools that help people understand their skin on a deeper level.

5. Hair Loss Solutions – 

Hair loss is an issue that affects more men than we often realise, and it’s no longer just something we’re talking about behind closed doors. In 2025, expect to see a continued rise in demand for treatments that not only tackle hair loss but also nurture overall scalp health.

“Invisible and covers them! Wow,” one person commented on the video.

“These are such a great product to have for break outs,” another added.

“They’re the best!!” a third praised.

“Omg how amazing do they look!” someone else wrote.

As another commented: “Omg no one talks about the fact these stop you from touching your breakouts so no unnecessary bacteria gets in!

“That’s such a huge bonus in my opinion!”

“Literally a game changer,” Victoria replied.

“I swear by these! They are the best pimple patches,” someone else raved.

While another admitted they’d just “added three to the basket”.

Marcus Rashford ‘wanted by ambitious Como’ with former team-mates set to convince him to join them in Italy

MARCUS RASHFORD is reportedly wanted by Serie A side Como.

The Italian outfit have been ambitious in the transfer market since their promotion out of Serie B.

In the summer transfer window, Como signed the likes of Andrea Belotti and Nico Paz.

The club also added free agents such as Spanish stars Pepe Reina, Alberto Moreno and Sergi Roberto.

Reports in Italy have now claimed they have set their sights on Rashford.

The club could rival other interested parties such as AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund.

Di Marzio have claimed that Como will have “no problem” with the deal for Rashford from an “economic point of view”.

Como will also be boosted with Rashford’s former team-mates Raphael Varane and Dele Alli at the club.

Varane is working as an ambassador after retiring from football during the season due to injury.

While Alli, who played with Rashford with England, is training with the Lombardi side.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS

It is suggested that the pair could try and convince the Red Devils star to pick Como this month.

Rashford’s brother and agent Dwaine was in Milan this week speaking to AC Milan over a potential deal.

Why Rashford joining Arsenal is perfect fit

By Martin Lipton

MARCUS RASHFORD is at a crossroads.

But now the England star has to make the biggest choice he has ever faced – does he care about cash, or about his career?

Rashford’s shock admission that he is “ready for a new challenge” after some two decades under the Manchester United umbrella has altered the dynamic around his future.

That Rashford might not fit the blueprint of Ruben Amorim – who has now responded to Rashford’s comments – was not exactly a surprise.

The Portuguese coach prefers a 3-4-3 formation but appears to have settled on Rasmus Hojlund as his starting central striker and wants two “narrow” inside forwards, with the width coming from the wing-backs.

Rashford has always wanted to play through the middle but is often at his best exploiting spaces out wide – and that skillset does not necessarily suit the way Amorim wants to play.

Even so, going public with his evident dissatisfaction at being bombed entirely from the squad for the Manchester derby was a major move, even if he vowed there would be “no hard feelings” if he does leave his boyhood club.

In truth, Rashford has been leaving United almost from the moment he signed that new £325,000 per week contract in 2023.

Something was broken in his connection to the club. His form dropped, his threat dissipated, his issues with the hierarchy deepened.

When Erik ten Hag dropped him for hosting a birthday party after a derby defeat, and he later pulled a sickie to miss the FA Cup game with Newport, it felt even then that the writing was on the wall.

The facts suggest the love affair has ended. After scoring 30 in all competitions to earn that new deal, he has scored just 15 in the 18 months since it was signed.

Amorim’s arrival seems merely to have accelerated what was increasingly inevitable.

Now, though, it is up to Rashford to determine what his future will bring.

If it is only about the money, then his options might be somewhat limited.

It is hard to see a Prem rival coughing up the same £16.9m annual salary – although Rashford’s comments have probably knocked £20m-plus off any transfer fee.

But Real Madrid have their fill of big-money strikers and Barcelona’s budget remains restricted by LaLiga financial controls.

In Europe, then, that probably leaves PSG – but a move to a one-club league.

Or, in the wider world, he could follow the likes of Ivan Toney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Roberto Firmino and Co and head to the Saudi desert.

Lucrative, yep. Certainly a different environment – and that may be exactly what Rashford both wants and needs. But the football? Not in a million years.

What Rashford needs, above all, is to be able to play for trophies and showcase his talents.

There is no better stage than the Premier League – which has far more global eyeballs on it than any other domestic competition.

And in that Premier League there is one club crying out for a goalscoring No 9, especially if he can also play down the left channel to balance out the side and widen its threat.

Rashford has always been more Longsight than London.

Yet Arsenal, and Mikel Arteta, might be the perfect fit.

The Gunners’ lack of a proper scorer is one of the major factors many fans feel has hurt their title challenge this year.

Gabriel Jesus has never been a natural finisher, while Kai Havertz is still a converted midfielder.

And while the link-up between Martin Odegaard and Bukayo Saka makes their right flank deadly, faith in Gabriel Martinelli on the left is waning.

There have not been too many who succeeded at Arsenal after leaving United – although Danny Welbeck was not a flop.

Rashford has all the attributes to change that history, if he can reproduce what everybody knows is inside him.

And by breaking free, giving himself the chance to start all over, Rashford can make a point to Amorim that will resonate for a very long time.

However, the deal could hit two stumbling blocks as the Rossoneri need to sell Noah Okafor and need Man United to pay half of the forward’s wages.

Rashford is on a whopping £325,000-per-week which means the club would still need to pay £162,500 a week while he plays with AC Milan.

Como are currently sitting 16th in Italy’s top-flight but have only won four of their first 18 matches.

Cesc Fabregas’ side does have a game in hand over its rivals and winning that could lift the club to at least 12th.

Meanwhile, Tottenham Hotspur are reported to be plotting a shock loan move.

German giants Borussia Dortmund are also keen on him and are willing to battle for his signature.

Dublin weather today: Temps plunge to -5C as schools confirm late opening & Met Eireann warn of -6C blast in HOURS

DUBLIN can expect another round of bitter weather today, with a Status Orange warning in place now after temperatures plunged to a bone-chilling -5C last night.

Temperatures are expected to plunge as low as -6C in Dublin tonight as Met Eireann warned highs will be “really struggling” to push over 2C to 5C today.

The Status Orange low temperature and ice weather warning came into place last night for Leinster, Cavan, Monaghan, Munster and Connacht from 6pm, lasting until 11am this morning.

While a more mild day than we’ve seen across the country this week for the capital, temperatures will struggle to reach between 2C and 5C.

This morning is another cold one with widespread frost and ice lingering, and only a scattering of cloud meaning the cold air is going nowhere.

Tonight will also see another bitterly cold evening hit as frost sets in early.

Met Eireann is preparing Dubs for the worst, as temperatures are expected to remain between -6C and -2C, with frost, ice and black ice expected.

As conditions remain harsh across the city and county, councils are reminding road users to be alert.

South Dublin County Council urged locals to make themselves aware of local salt bin locations and gritting routes.

The council, who have seven gritting trucks and seven snow ploughs, revealed the information is available on their website.

The bone-chilling conditions in store have forced schools in several counties to keep their doors shut tomorrow or opt for a delayed opening, including a number in Dublin.

In Dublin, schools in several areas including Sutton, Baldoyle, Swords and Donabate will open later than usual, around 11am as the orange weather warning expires.

St. Oliver Plunkett school in Malahide will open at 11am, with Scoil Isa following at 11.10am.

Our Lady of Mercy College Beaumont will also see a delayed opening of 11am, St. Bernadette’s Senior School, Quarryvale will also open at 11am.

St Martin de Porres NS, Dublin 24 will open at 9.50am and St Bernadette’s JNS, Quarryvale, will open at 10.30am.

WEEKEND OUTLOOK

Tomorrow is looking to be a cloudier, but slightly warmer day for Dublin as outbreaks of light rain and most dry conditions will take hold.

Highest temperatures are looking to hit between 2C and 5C during the day, with an overcast night bringing those temperatures down to 0C to 4C.

This weekend will remain cloudy with outbreaks of rain and drizzle gradually clearing away, with Saturday temperatures rising to 4C to 8C.

And looking towards conditions in Dublin next week, Met Eireann warned: “Current indications are for high pressure to develop to the southeast of the country but a few frontal systems will clip western and northern counties too.

“Overall rather mixed with cloud and drizzle along Atlantic coastal fringes but drier and perhaps sunnier in the southeast.”

COLDEST TEMPS EVER RECORDED IN IRELAND

AS freezing conditions and low temperatures hit Ireland, the country is set to bask in ice, snow and sleet.

With temperatures setting into minus figures, it won’t beat the coldest days ever recorded on the island.

The coldest areas in Ireland are usually found inland, with coastal areas benefiting from sea breezes to keep warmer.

Mullingar, Co Westmeath has the lowest average temperature at 9.3C yearly, but it is not the coldest ever recorded area.

Here are the areas in the country that have recorded the lowest ever temperatures:

  • Co Sligo: On January 16, 1881, –19.1C was recorded at Markree Castle in Collooney.
  • Co Kildare: On January 2, 1979, -18.8C was recorded in Lullymore.
  • Co Longford: On February 7, 1895, -17.8C was recorded in Mostrim while the area also saw the coldest July temperature ever at -0.3C on July 8, 1889.
  • Co Sligo: Again at Markree Castle, -17.2C was recorded on March 3, 1947, -8.3C on October 31, 1926 and -7.7C on April 15, 1892.
  • Co Donegal: The coldest ever temperature in May on record was detected in Glenties at -5.6C.
  • Co Offaly: On June 1, 1962, Clonsast saw temperatures drop to -3.3C.
  • Co Wicklow: The coldest ever day in August was in Rathdrum with temperatures dropping to -2.7C on August 30, 1964.
  • Co Wexford: On November 29, 2010, Clonroche saw temperatures drop to -11.5C.
  • Co Mayo: Also in 2010, temperatures in Straide dropped to -17.5C on Christmas Day.

Yesterday, concerns had been raised over the BT Young Scientist and Technology Exhibition taking place in the RDS this week.

There were fears that not all 225 schools set to attend event would be able to travel to the competition due to the cold snap, with organisers making necessary exceptions to accommodate pupils.

Head of the exhibition Mari Cahalane told RTE News: “Normally we ask for all of the students to be booked in by 12pm on the Wednesday, just before the opening ceremony.

And in latest updates from event organisers it appears all schools are on track to make the competition after local communities rallied together to clear roads.

Ms Cahalane said: “We’ve heard of a school that had tractors out ploughing the roads to make sure the students would be here.

“It’s a lovely thing that communities are getting behind this because the students have put so much work in to be here.”
