Also, I couldn't help but notice that a number of companies have won innovation awards in recent weeks, stories of which dominate the news.

As the curtains closed on Kind+Jugend, the Industry was already looking forward to BPA Baby & Child and if the British Pavillion in Cologne was anything to go by, it is sure to be a rip roaring success. Pull out our supplement and take it with you to the show, which takes place from 11th-13th October at London's ExCel. And if you haven't registered yet, take a look at Peter White's article to find out what you could be missing.

What's more, in a range of product features we bring you Wholesalers, Newborn Baby Gifts and Music and Baby.

And that's not all, we pay a visit to London's Carnaby Street to talk to Gayle Haddock of Carry Me Home, before giving you something to WOW about in Ni Voice on page.

See you at ExCel!
