All opinions are mine alone. #collectivebias #mums4tommys School holidays or not I seem to spend a huge amount of my time washing clothes. Fortunately, one of my favourite smells is clean washing. Certain smells trigger some memories. One of my earliest blog posts was about the amount of washing my son made. In his first few months he brought up a lot of his feed after each bottle so we had muslins everywhere. I was always washing baby clothes during those first few months of his life. My…

It can’t have escaped your notice that we’re celebrating Mothering Sunday in the UK today. I’m looking forward to a delicious lunch out with my little family and not having to do the washing up. It’s a chance to remember how lucky I am to have two happy healthy children and of course appreciate my own hard-working mum. I’m allowing myself a little sentimental wallow in the memories of those early weeks of being a new mum. Every parent knows that there is nothing more special than the power of a super soft newborn cuddle. Who can forget those sleepless…

We’re at a happy stage in our lives right now. We have a 36 month old and a 16 month old which I suppose means we have two toddlers – scary, but fun. Pregnancy seems a long time ago and whilst I would love to add a third to our nest I’m not sure that will happen. I wanted to take part in a competition and was given a couple of prompts to help me write. The first prompt was the ‘3rd trimester of pregnancy‘. Reading this made me shudder as although I had straight forward pregnancies I’m ashamed to…

I’ve recently been sent a product which I think is great and I’ve been given an opportunity to share it with you! The NUK Baby Bottle Cleanser has been specially developed to clean all of your baby’s bottles, teats and accessories. It is based on natural ingredients and contains specific enzymes which effectively remove milk protein, pulp and juice residues. Its mild formula makes it ‘baby safe’, for baby-soft cleaning. Simply add a measure of the NUK Baby Bottle Cleanser to a little warm water, and wash your baby’s bottles, teats and accessories gently but thoroughly. Then, simply rinse away!…

I’m feeling sad today as we’ve been having a clear out ahead of putting our house on the market. Yes, I’ve banged on before about moving but we’re finally doing it. A couple of weeks ago we were called in to the toddlers’ school as he was ready to move up a stage. For complicated reasons he can’t continue there so we’re moving. Hopefully we will be able to find a bigger house with better schools in a nicer part of London. Anyway, the last two weeks we’ve had the builders in. Remember we had a plan for sub-dividing our…

We were invited to try out some of the latest products from Hipp Organic over breakfast at Bills in Covent Garden. I’m lucky that my 7 month old loves her food and is happy to try anything – perfect as Hipp Organic have introduced ten new yummy recipes! We’ve already tried out the new savoury pouches but Little Sis got to try the new My First Yoghurt pots in banana and raspberry. These went down very well and I will be stocking up on them! They provide 23% RDA of calcium in 2 pots which give me peace of mind…

Over the last week my happy 7 month old has started refusing her bottles of milk. She’s been happily drinking 240ml bottles three times a day, and also has a dream feed at 11pm. She’s been on 3 meals a day for a couple of months and I’ve been trying to introduce an infant cup for water and juice but she’s just started refusing everything and I don’t know why. It’s starting to make me worried she’ll end up dehydrated. According to the packet of formula a 7 month old should be having 3 feeds of 210ml a day. I…

It’s not often I write about products unless I really like them. Well yoomi is one of them and they’ve just brought out a new product which makes feeding even easier – the yoomi microwavable pod. As I’ve mentioned before when I’ve tried yoomi with the toddler and the baby, it warms the feed in just 60 seconds, is perfect for out and about or night feeds and ensures the milk is the right temperature. I was sent the new yoomi feeding system to try out*. I have to say it makes feeding so simple, especially when you’re in a…

Little Sis was sent some of the new savoury pouches* from HiPP Organic to try. At 7 months she has a very healthy appetite and seems to be enjoying everything she tastes. This brand new range of savoury pouches includes varieties specifically developed for babies from both four months and seven months. HiPP Organic has cleverly incorporated organic rapeseed oil, rich in Omega 3, into the new pouches, along with their finest organic vegetables and meats providing an easy and convenient source of nutrients essential for growth and development. We were sent four of the new pouches to try: ‘Carrots,…
