I haven’t written about the Breastfeeding pain I’ve been experiencing on my blog, and I thought it was important to update you about the fact that breastfeeding isn’t going so well for Brook and I right now. It’s partly because I’ve found myself falling out of love with breastfeeding, and I haven’t wanted to dwell…
It’s been all over the headlines this week that recent research has suggested that one of the benefits of breastfeeding is increased IQ later in life. The study also suggests that the breastfeeding advantages may include having a higher earning potential and study for longer when the baby grows older. These are interesting facts, that…
I haven’t met a Mum yet who isn’t a little bit nervous about flying with a baby for the first time. It’s completely understandable when you think about it. There’s negotiating check-in, the airport lounge, take off and all whilst hoping your baby doesn’t become upset and you can tend to all their needs during…
Babies can throw you all kinds of challenges when you least expect it. The more children you have the more it throws you, as you get right on in that comfort zone of ‘I’ve done this before’, then your little one decides things are going to be very different. This has caught me out with…
Right, stop the press. Prepare yourselves readers, I have an astonishing announcement to make. It may surprise you all to know that I am not a perfect parent. I know, I had you fooled didn’t I! I can make this declaration safe in the knowledge that I have got many things wrong in my parenting…
When I was asked if I wanted to take a look at the new baby pilot hats from My Little Duckling, I couldn’t say no. I knew they were going to be cute, and they kindly agreed to send me a hat for Princess and Little Pudding to review. They arrived first thing in the…
Every now and again, I get contacted about a product that gets me really excited. It’s always something that strikes me as a little bit different, that would make a unique and special gift. Those kind of products don’t come along everyday. The lovely Kerri got in touch to tell me about these wonderful journals…
My baby is 7 month’s old. It is flying by and she is growing and changing so fast. She’s so happy and laid back and gets smiles and comments wherever she goes. She is a pleasure to be around, and we all love her so very much. Some members of the family however are still…
This year Christmas has presented me with a real dilemma for baby. Having got 2 girls under 3, they have all the toys they need. We have no room for anymore toys, as we are already drowning in stuff for a baby and a toddler. We haven’t been able to clear anything out as we have known…
Over the last few weeks Princess has been putting Organix Toddler snacks through their paces. She was sent a lovely box of Goodies to see what she thought, and she has really enjoyed giving them the toddler taste test.
Recently I was lucky enough to be sent the Cantaloop Nursing and Pregnancy Tank Top to review for the blog. I really like Cantaloop maternity lingerie and have already tried out their nursing bra which I love. The Cantaloop nursing tank top is suitable for both pregnant and nursing Mums and it’s definitely something I…
Wow! Here we are already little Pudding is a whopping 6 months old. It feels like it’s gone in the blink of an eye but it’s been an eternity all at the same time. It’s difficult to imagine a time when she wasn’t here now, not that I’d want to but it is an interesting…
At the weekend, we took the girls for another swimming session. Princess gets really excited at the thought of going swimming now and we are able to use it as a motivational tool to encourage her to do things like….BEHAVE! Bless her, she can be a little monkey, especially when he is tired. We wanted…
I was pretty focused on not introducing food to little Pudding until 6 months old. To be fair that is only 2 weeks away now, and if she had been born on her due date it would only be three days away. Little Pudding isn’t that little really, even though it is well documented throughout…
Little Pudding is 5 1/2 months old now, and I’ve managed to feed those chunky little thighs of hers myself all this time, go me and my milk making superpower. It’s come at a price though. I desperately need to go to the hairdressers, but I haven’t been able to leave her long enough yet….
Recently, the lovely people at Infacare sent us their baby bath and new night time baby bath to try out with Little Pudding. We’ve always been really careful with what we use on all our children’s skin as they have all had bouts of sensitivity at one point or another. Bathtime should be fun time,…
