'I like to dress like an adult baby'

I act as a small child when I'm stressed, or just need to forget about my problems for just a few hours a day. It really helps me relax.

The stresses of daily life lead some to the yoga studio and others to meditation, but for Heidia, there is only one way to destress and that is to regress, back to being a baby.

Heidi loves nothing more than to unwind after a busy day by putting on a nappy, sucking a dummy and playing with her baby toys but insists that her hobby, although unusual, is in no way sexual.

Heidi is part of a community of ‘Littles’ - people who enjoy dressing up as babies - and she is speaking out to tell us why roleplaying is, for her, no different to going to the gym to wind down after a hard day’s work.
