Travel Light With a Great Portacot
Pack Smart, Travel Light, and Rest Easy Travelling with little ones can feel like preparing for a major expedition – nappies, clothes, snacks, toys... and that’s before you even get to the sleep setup. But one item you’ll be glad you packed? A reliable travel cot. Whether you're visiting grandparents, staying in a hotel, or setting up camp at a bach, a quality portacot provides your baby with a familiar and safe space to sleep or play. At Dimples, we’ve curated a selection of trusted travel sleep solutions to help make your trip smoother – because happy sleep = happier holidays. Nuna Paal Playard + Bassinet The Nuna Paal is a beautifully designed playard that grows with your baby. It starts as a cosy bassinet for newborns (up to 7 kg), then easily converts into a spacious play area for toddlers (up to 13.5 kg). Whether it’s nap time or playtime, the Paal provides a safe, comfy space for your little one. Setting up is a breeze with the one‑hand pop‑open frame, and it folds neatly into a carry bag for easy storage. The breathable mesh sides ensure airflow and visibility, while the organic cotton sheet provides a soft resting surface. The zip‑open side panel lets you interact with your baby while they play. With sturdy aluminum framing, padded edges for safety, and a clip‑lock zip for extra security. Nuna Sena Aire + Insect Net The Nuna Sena Aire is your go‑to for stress‑free travel sleep. Light, compact and quick to set up (with just one hand!), it’s ideal for busy parents on the move. Its clever zigzag frame folds down easily, packing neatly into one bag with the mattress wrapping right around it. With 360° ventilation (mesh sides, floor and mattress) and Nuna’s Advanced Air Design, your baby stays cool and comfortable – perfect for warmer climates. Use the zip‑on bassinet for newborns, then remove it to create a secure playpen for toddlers (up to 15 kg). An organic cotton sheet is included. Pair it with the Sena Insect Net to keep bugs away while keeping airflow unrestricted. The zip opening makes check‑ins quick and easy. Journey 2-in-1 Travel Cot The Journey 2-in-1 Travel Cot is a smart, adaptable sleep solution that grows with your baby. Use it as a bassinet from newborn to 6 months (up to 9 kg), then convert it into a full-size cot for toddlers up to 2 years (15 kg). It features a Safer-Sleep Certified mattress, the first of its kind in a travel cot – breathable, firm, and approved for overnight use. Full mesh sides provide airflow and visibility, while the bamboo-fibre mattress cover offers a soft, cool sleeping surface. Parents will love the built-in storage pockets, quick fold, and included insect net – ideal for travel or outdoor naps. Everything packs into a convenient backpack-style carry bag for easy portability. Sleeping on Holiday: Light and Darkness Getting your little one to nap in an unfamiliar space can be tricky – especially if the room is too bright or stimulating. Here are two travel‑friendly options that help create the ideal sleep environment: Blackout Shade for PortacotsThis clever universal Snooze Shade blocks out up to 94% light and fits snugly over the Nuna Sena (and other portacots), creating a dark, cosy space that helps your baby nap well—even during the day or in shared rooms. Blackout BlindsThe Purflo Total Eclipse Portable Blackout Blinds are made from 100% blackout fabric, and blocks out light completely. With an innovative suction fastening system, it attaches securely to most windows without drilling or adhesives. It’s adjustable to fit different window sizes and folds neatly for easy storage or travel. Perfect for home or on the go - an effective solution to help little ones sleep soundly, wherever they are. Travelling with a baby or toddler doesn’t have to mean disrupted routines and sleepless nights. With the right sleep setup, you can enjoy the adventure—and get the rest you need. At Dimples, we’ve got everything you need to make travel easier—so you can focus on creating special memories together.

Welcome to Fatherhood: New Dads and Dads-to-Be
Congratulations, Dad 🤩 First off, huge congratulations! You’re about to embark on one of the most rewarding journeys of your life. Whether you’re a first-time dad or this is round two (or three!), there’s no denying how incredible this experience will be. Sure, it might come with a few sleepless nights and some unknowns along the way, but trust us – it’s going to be amazing.Fatherhood isn’t about being perfect – it’s about being there, learning as you go, and embracing every moment, big or small. You’ll have days filled with firsts, plenty of laughter, and some truly special memories. And remember, it’s okay if you don’t have everything figured out – you’re not alone on this journey. We’ve put together some helpful tips and advice to support you as you navigate these early days, so you can feel confident and prepared. The road ahead is exciting, and you’re going to be a wonderful dad. Let’s get started – you’ve got this! Support During The Pregnancy Journey Pregnancy brings plenty of changes – not just for mums, but for you, too. You might not be the one carrying the baby, but your support can make a huge difference. Here’s how to be the kind of partner your family will thank you for later. Start by learning and getting involved Understanding pregnancy helps you feel more confident and prepared. Check out a few articles, read a few books or dive into an online course for new dads. It can also be incredibly helpful to attend check-ups, which will keep you connected and informed. Ask questions, take in the details, and get to know your baby’s journey. Pick up a few extra chores As the bump grows, so does the to-do list. Take on more housework, drive to appointments, and let your partner rest. Don’t be afraid to ask for help – teamwork makes it easier. Get involved with meals Food might be a bit of a rollercoaster during pregnancy, so try to help where you can – cooking, meal planning, or just making sure there’s something in the fridge that actually sounds good today. And if your partner suddenly needs a very specific brand of ice cream at 9pm… well, that’s your time to shine. Be steady during the ups and downs Hormones can make emotions more intense. Be patient, listen well, and remember: sometimes just being there is enough. Look after your own wellbeing It’s easy to put your own needs on the backburner, but your mental health matters too. Talk openly with your partner, ask lots of questions, and check in with how you’re feeling. A calm, supported dad makes a big difference to the whole family. Think ahead Before baby arrives, research and get organised: Choose and install the car seat (Dimples can help with installation and advice) Set up baby’s space (even if they start in your room). Stock up on nappies, wipes, swaddles, and clothes. Merino is the ultimate in newborn clothing. Learn more about this here Cook and freeze a few meals – thank yourself later! And remember, you don’t need to have it all figured out. Just show up, learn as you go, and be there when it counts. You’ve got this – and feel free to sneak in a dad joke or two (just maybe not at 3am). Now... Baby Has Arrived! 🐣 Bonding with Your Newborn Studies show that active involvement from dads helps with emotional development, cognitive skills, and even reduces stress for both baby and parents. Bonding early on lays the foundation for a strong relationship as your little one grows. Here are a few ways to bond: Skin-to-skin contact: Take a moment to strip down and let your baby lie on your chest. This helps regulate their body temperature and heartbeat, while also releasing oxytocin, the "love hormone," for both of you. Talk and sing: Babies love hearing your voice. Even if you're off-key, read books, sing, or narrate your day ("Time for the big diaper change!"). Your voice will comfort them. Wear your baby: A baby carrier is an easy way to keep your newborn close while you move around. The warmth and motion strengthen your bond, and it gives you some extra dad points. We love this one by Nuna - we stock a few different kinds of carrier. Our store can help you with this if you want to pop in. Support Mum’s Healing The first weeks after birth can be tough for mum. Give her space to heal, and take charge of housework and meal prep. Whether it’s cleaning up, tidying, or letting her nap, your support will help her adjust and feel cared for. Taking Care of Yourself Parenting is a team effort, so don't forget to take care of yourself. Get rest when you can, eat well, and ask for help if you need it. You’ll be much more equipped to care for your little one if you're taking care of your own well-being. Finding Your Routine In the early days, life with a newborn can feel chaotic. Establishing a simple routine will help everyone feel more secure. It doesn’t have to be perfect, but having a basic rhythm for naps, feedings, and bedtime makes things easier as you go. Trusting Your Instincts You might not have all the answers, but trust your instincts. If something doesn’t feel right, speak up. You’ll figure it out along the way – you’re learning every day, and that’s enough. Accepting Help There’s no need to do everything yourself. Accept help when it’s offered – whether it’s a meal from a friend or a family member taking over a diaper change. It’ll make this journey smoother for everyone. Connecting with Each other And Celebrating the Small Wins Parenting is full of big milestones, but it’s the little victories that count too. Celebrate your baby’s first smile, a good night’s sleep, or the first successful outing. These moments are worth appreciating. Parenthood can be all-consuming, but it’s really important to find time for your relationship with your partner. Even simple moments, like enjoying a coffee together, can help you stay connected and grounded amidst the chaos. A Few More Tips Swaddle like a pro: Swaddling can help soothe your baby and improve their sleep. Merino or cotton is the best option. See our range Here Change bag: Keep a change bag handy: Have nappies, wipes, and a spare outfit packed and ready – you never know when you'll need them. Here are a few options for change bags at Dimples. And most importantly: Have fun! Parenting is a learning experience, so embrace it – and don’t forget to build your dad-joke repertoire! Fatherhood is an incredible journey – full of joy, challenges, and unforgettable moments. Dimples is here to support you every step of the way with all the essentials you need to be the best dad you can be. Enjoy every moment, because these early days will fly by ❤️

Navigating Emotions During Pregnancy and Postpartum: You’re Not Alone
Pregnancy and the postpartum period are times of incredible change, physically, emotionally, and mentally. You’ve entered a brand-new chapter in your life, one filled with love, learning, and sometimes, a little chaos. Your body is adjusting, your hormones are shifting, your routine is changing, and now there’s a tiny person who depends entirely on you. With such big changes, it’s completely natural to feel overwhelmed at times. These experiences can take a toll on your mental health, no matter how “small” the changes may seem. But one thing is certain, you’re not the first, and you’re not alone. Mood Swings Mood swings are incredibly common during pregnancy, postpartum, and even during menstruation. They happen when emotions change quickly or feel more intense than usual. While hormones play a big part in this, mood swings can also stem from things like lack of sleep, changes in routine, or neglecting your own needs.It’s important to care for yourself through these transitions so they feel a little smoother. Ways to Support Yourself During Mood Swings Take a walk to clear your mind. Fresh air and gentle movement can work wonders. If your baby has arrived, bring them along so you can both enjoy the change of scenery. Seek support from loved ones. Whether you need someone to talk to, help with the baby, or just company over a cup of tea, reaching out makes a huge difference. Connection is one of the strongest protectors of mental health. Create a little “you” space. It could be a cozy corner, a seat by a window, or a sunny spot outside. A quiet place to pause, breathe, and gather your thoughts can bring you back to centre. Keep up with small acts of self-care. Taking a shower can feel like a luxury with a newborn, but it truly helps. Products like the Nuna Leaf Grow can be a lifesaver, let your baby gently sway while you take a few minutes to refresh. Do your skincare routine, put on a face mask, or spend 10 minutes doing a hobby you love. Even short moments of care help your mind reset.Remember, no matter what you are feeling, your emotions are valid. If your moods are starting to affect your daily life, please reach out to your doctor, midwife, or a mental health professional. Your wellbeing matters deeply, both for you and for your new little family. Understanding Anxiety Anxiety has been part of human life since our earliest ancestors. In prehistoric times, it was a survival mechanism helping people stay alert to dangers like predators or the risk of being left out of their group. This “fight, flight, or freeze” response kept them safe.Today, we don’t face the same physical threats, but our brains still use the same alarm system. Instead of warning us about predators, anxiety now shows up in moments like worrying about parenting, work, or social situations, times when it may feel overwhelming or out of place. Feeling anxious during pregnancy is completely normal. The “what ifs” and the doubts about being a good parent can feel heavy and persistent. Many people experience this, but it’s still something that’s often under-recognised. There’s an important difference between feeling anxious and living with anxiety. Feeling anxious is a temporary and natural response; anxiety, on the other hand, is ongoing and can impact your daily life and wellbeing. Common Symptoms of Anxiety • Excessive worry about your baby’s health, birth, or your ability to parent• Physical symptoms like sweating, shortness of breath, or difficulty sleeping• Intrusive or distressing thoughts about your baby• Irritability, restlessness, or difficulty focusing These symptoms can affect sleep, appetite, and how you function day to day, sometimes even making it harder to bond with your baby.If your anxiety feels overwhelming, please reach out for support. You do not need to face this alone. Support in Aotearoa New Zealand • Anxiety NZ: Call 0800 ANXIETY (0800 269 4389) or visit anxiety.org.nz • PADA - Perinatal Anxiety & Depression Aotearoa: pada.nz for help specific to pregnancy, birth, and early parenting • Need to Talk? Text or call 1737 anytime for free, confidential counselling; 1737.org.nz For Māori whānau, resources like Te Whare Tapa Whā and Whānau Ora offer holistic, culturally grounded support; visit manamokopuna.org.nz. For Pasifika families, PADA offers programmes such as Tama'ita'i Toa, and you can also explore stories like Sela’s Project: A Mother’s Cry at mentalhealth.org.nz. Reaching out is a sign of strength, not weakness. Help is available, and you deserve support. Postpartum Depression (PPD) After giving birth, some people experience postpartum depression (PPD) or anxiety, sometimes weeks, months, or even years after their baby arrives. It’s something that has existed throughout human history, yet it’s still under-researched and often misunderstood.If you’re experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety, please know this is not your fault. These feelings do not define your worth or your ability to be a good parent. Common Symptoms of PPD • Persistent low or flat mood• Frequent irritability or loss of interest in usual activities• Changes in appetite or sleep• Constant fatigue• Trouble concentrating or making decisions Some parents may also experience distressing intrusive thoughts about their baby. These can feel terrifying or shameful, but having these thoughts does not mean you want to harm your child. They are a symptom of your mental health, not a reflection of who you are.If you’re struggling with these thoughts or any of the symptoms above, please reach out for help. You are not alone, and there is care available to support both you and your baby.In Aotearoa, you can find support and information through Healthify NZ’s Postnatal Depression. Finding Your Balance Again While pregnancy and postpartum can bring moments of uncertainty and emotional ups and downs, they also bring incredible growth, connection, and love. You are learning new things about yourself every single day, how strong you are, how deeply you can care, and how resilient the human heart can be. Remember, there will be good days and harder ones, but none of them define you as a parent. The difficult moments will pass, and with time, support, and self-compassion, things will start to feel lighter again. Be gentle with yourself. You are doing one of the most important and beautiful things in the world: nurturing life, both your baby’s and your own. Take each day as it comes, celebrate the little victories, and remind yourself often: you’ve got this.
