A place to celebrate all things cute and cuddly

Babytalk is Ireland’s first festival of expert advice for parents, says Margaret Carragher

FOR parents who want advice about babies, “there’s no such thing as a silly question,” says Rachel Lane, who is staging a new Babytalk Festival, in UCD, from February 22-23.

As a mother, Lane, who is organising the festival with Marie Dunne, understands the frustration of new parents. “There is no shortage of information out there,” she says. “But a lot if it is advertising in disguise, which is not what new parents want or need.”
