Another month had flown and my boy is now 7 months old. He is such a happy baby and smiles from the minute he wakes up until he goes to sleep. On his last weigh-in the little chunk was a few ounces under 20lb so I am convinced he is 20lb now. Despite weaning…
It is accepted that sleeping in the same room as your baby is the safest option for the first six months. While I imagine most parents have their baby in their bedroom, as usual, we have done it differently. I have slept in Baby G’s room since the day we brought him home. It…
Six months. Six whole months. It’s similar to when you tell people you are pregnant after the 12 week scan. You then have six months to wait until your baby arrives. Aren’t those six months just the longest? The last six months of pregnancy can feel like six years but I kid you not, the…
I recently bought a clutch bag. I know. Not ground-breaking in any way. However, this small, orange bag has saved me a lot of time and headaches on the last week or so and I thought I would explain how and maybe help some of you. When I leave the house, my baby changing bag…
With Father’ Day this weekend, I am urging all dads with babies to get down and dirty with their little ones. I don’t particularly mean nappy changing (although that would be much appreciated thank you). I mean bath time. In our house, I do most of the children stuff. Hubster is busy. However with Baby…
Weaning is still definitely on the cards with Baby G but the bottles I bought when he was a newborn (which hold eight ounces) do not fill enough liquid in them for his growing tummy so I had a dilemma. Would I have to make two five ounce bottles? Just think of how many times…
Everyone knows Emma’s Diary. It is the parenting channel that covers everything from pregnancy to toddlers, as well as advice for mums and mums-to-be. Indeed, I was so happy when I got my Emma’s Diary pack when I was pregnant with Baby G because I never got that far with the previous two pregnancies. Emma’s…
Bibs. They’re the staple of every new born baby’s mountain of equipment. There are many things parents could do without. Bibs are not one of them. From saving clothes from milk deposits to the dribbles from teething, I want two main things from a bib: 1.That it stays on i.e. it doesn’t tie with velcro…
I think most mothers worry about germs. I definitely did with Boo and all I really had to worry about then was the dog sniffing her dummy. Now, not only could the dog lick Baby G but his big sister tends to pass me his bottles and dummies by the teat and we live on…
I was recently approached by Chemist Direct to review their site and their service. Chemist shopping you say? Oh, yes please. I LOVE chemists and, Chemist Direct is like the biggest chemist you will ever see. They sell everything from baby to beauty to prescription medicine and everything in between. It took me a good…
