I was hesitant as to whether I'd ever write this post on luxury changing bags because mostly, for the first few months, I got by without a changing bag at all and just bunged everything I needed into my usual day bag. However, after a number of milk-spillages in my...
Baby and Body: 10 Months Update
A month of discovery: if you put a baby down in a cot during the daytime then they might just nap. Who knew?! I mean, it takes a bit of perseverance at first, and there's the mandatory sixty-second screaming session to grit your teeth through, but after that? People:...
Patience is a Virtue. And also Essential for Daytime Naps.
Oh! I have realised that (in my own experience at least) achieving daytime naps is as simple as having the patience of a saint. I mean, literally. The patience of a saint. Today? Forty-five minutes of wailing, which I ignored because I was trying to fix a problem with...
M&S Leather Duck Pram Shoes
I bought these M&S pram shoes assuming they'd be so useless at staying on that I'd end up putting them on a shelf as a little memento or writing them off as something nice to put into the baby's memory box. I was fine with that. I haven't really bought anything...
BabyBjorn Travel Cot Review
I'd say that this was an impromptu purchase, but actually I had done quite a bit of research on travel cots so it was more of an emergency purchase than anything else. I ordered the BabyBjorn Travel Cot the night before we were due to leave on a little trip to...
Baby and Body: 9 Months Update
Oh, so many changes this month. It's an exciting milestone too, the nine month one, because it's "clothes-size-change month". Which means having a proper excuse to buy more baby clothes because obviously everything is now completely the wrong size all of a sudden and...
Five things that will happen when your baby is asleep…
Sharing a room with a baby is great, for a while. You can watch them as they sleep, feel safe in the knowledge that they're by your side and you can hear every murmur and sigh. What's not so great is that they can hear your every murmur and sigh and so you have to...
From Crib to Cot – The Mokee Baby Bed…
I'm very behind with this post, we moved Angelica into a cot just after the New Year (into her own room three weeks ago), I just haven't had time to write about it! The Snuzpod bedside crib we had her in since birth was just absolutely brilliant; it honestly made life...
Baby and Body: 8 Months Update
I'm writing this on the train because - as usual - I've run out of time and I have a proper thing about getting these update posts out on the right day. Fortunately I have one of those gargantuan iPhone 6+ things, so typing on it isn't too bad, but my left hand does...
From a Mother to Another…
JoJo Maman Bébé have a new campaign running called From a Mother to Another, helping to support vulnerable families here in the UK and Syrian refugees living in Lebanon. Their aim is to get as many people as possible recycling children's nearly-new, little worn or...
Baby and Body: 7 Months Update
Wah! I'm still absolutely stuck on six months - it honestly only seems like yesterday when I wrote the 6 Months Update Post! Maybe because I've been ill for over half of the past month - and there was Christmas and New Year to contend with, so it's no wonder that the...
Review: Philips Avent Comfort Single Electric Breast Pump
Ooh. New breast pump discovery. Granted, this news isn't going to turn everyone on, it's pretty niche, but I'm quite excited because this particular breast pump was a bit of a surprise. I'm not sure why, but I had it in my head that the Philips Avent Comfort Single...
