Emily has upped her eating game 

After a successful few months weaning her from 4 months old, Emily took little interest in food when her first teeth started coming through about 6 months. Don’t get me wrong she showed interest in some things, liked others, enjoyed her yoghurts, fruit purees and snacks but beyond that, she wasn’t interested. Whilst her friends…

Feed your child how you want, boob or bottle, mother knows best.

There’s a lot of talk in the press at the moment that women who breastfeeding are slowly dying out, becoming such a rarity that it could stop all together. I don’t breastfeed Emily, but before you pass the judgement book, I stopped because I developed thrush and fuck me it was painful. Emily wasn’t getting…

Mum’s do what you feel is right, wean if you want to, don’t just follow the crowd

The other week I took Emily to a baby massage group in Ramsgate. The class was great, the staff helpful and understanding when Emily decided to empty her bladder 10 minutes into the session, but the mum’s taking part, made my decision that I won’t be attending again.

Why do feeding bottles go cloudy?

Why does plastic go cloudy? It’s a question that’s on my mind when I sterilise Emily’s bottles. Turns out it’s to do with the deposits of minerals on the surface that stick there because of the intense heat from the sterilisation and quick drying methods. And it can also do with how hard your water…

Things not to say to a new mum who formula feeds

So, it’s a well-known fact that breastfeeding is the way to go when considering feeding your baby. Breast is best as they say. The benefits extend beyond basis nutrition. It contains all the vitamins and nutrients your little one needs in the first 6 months of their life and helps them be protected against illnesses….

Let’s talk about baby poop

Let’s talk about poop. OK it’s super gross, but it’s normal and let’s be honest we all do it so talking about it shouldn’t be that disgusting yet we disappprove. But when your baby is born we as parents do this super weird thing where we obsess about our child’s poo. I’ve done it, Christ…
