Young Wonderer
A day in my life π€
My days are full β there's no pretending otherwise. Between visiting our stockists, packing orders, working away on my laptop and spending time with my kids, it's certainly a juggle to fit it all in.
But here's the truth: my family will always be my most important thing, and this business? It's my third baby. I've put blood, sweat and tears into it β and I wouldn't have it any other way.
I'm so passionate about what we do at Young Wonderer, and I try to enjoy every single moment of building it. Even on the full days, I can't wait to get back to work on it.
Thanks for being here π€

If anyone has ever told you you're holding your baby too much β please save this. π€
The science is clear: you physically cannot spoil a newborn. Their brains aren't developed enough to manipulate, expect, or demand. When they cry, they need you. When you respond, you're literally helping wire their nervous system for emotional regulation.
One of the most-cited studies in this field (Bell & Ainsworth, 1972) found that babies whose cries were responded to quickly in the first months actually cried less by 12 months β not more.
Hold them. Soothe them. Wear them. Feed them to sleep. Follow your instincts. You're not creating a bad habit. You're nurturing a human.

I don't want to be the brand that's on sale every second month. It's not sustainable for a small business, and it's not fair on you to wonder if you should hold out for a sale.
So instead, here's my promise: I'll always have a bundle deal running, all year round. No waiting for a sale, no FOMO.
Right now it's our High Contrast Starter Pack β rectangle water mat + Welcome to the World Little One book + your choice of hanging toy, from $55.
Bundle deals will change often so grab this one while you can!
Almost a year and a half ago, I was made redundant from my full-time job β while I was on my second mat leave π€
Thank goodness I had my side hustle to fall back on⦠except I didn't fall back on it. I fell forward.
Young Wonderer started as a passion project, and now I'm completely obsessed β obsessed with this brand, obsessed with helping little babies develop, and I genuinely can't picture myself doing anything else in this world.
Thank you for being here. Truly. None of this happens without your support π€
