As a mum of three, my weaning journeys have changed somewhat with each child. With my first, I was a spoon feeder. Some people may judge me on that but, as a first time mum who hadn’t discovered the online world of parenting advice, it was the only thing I knew. My own mum spoon…
Getting your children to eat enough healthy and nutritious food is, in my opinion, one of the most important thing you can do as a parent. I am currently experiencing what can only be described as hell two different ends of the scale. On one side, with the baby, I am embarking on my favourite…
Summer holidays are here and, while I have one school-aged child, the two hungry mouths that are currently eating solid foods, constantly make me worry about providing my children with filling, nutritious snacks. My eldest child is currently on a medication that can make you more hungry so I am even more conscious than usual…
