Back in June, organic baby food brand, Plum, ran a competition to win a sought after place at the first ever Plum Cookery School.

What do you do when your baby refuses milk?
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…
Annabel’s new organic baby purees
We’ve been trying a lot of baby food lately. This is great because I think making baby food is a real hassle and I’m happy to buy good ready made food! Over twenty years after the publication of her first book, Annabel Karmel has launched her first range of organic baby purées in pouches. Annabel…

First tastes
It’s now been a couple of weeks since we’ve been giving Little Sis a taste of what she’s missing out on! Over the weeks she’s really begun to open her mouth in anticipation and she’s finally grasped what to do with the puree when it’s in her mouth. It’s amazing to watch and she seems…
Weaning 2.0
Little Sis loves watching us when we eat so we’re beginning to think about starting weaning in a couple of weeks. I loved weaning her brother and still enjoy cooking for him so I’m really hoping it will be as straightforward as I remember! I’ve been busy stocking up on products such as hard wearing…
Yummy Plum products for babies and toddlers
We’re big fans of Plum and I relied on ready made food a lot when I started weaning Big Brother as I wasn’t confident at all! Plum have recently introduced some new products which we were happy to try. Pumpkin Pie and Strawberry Cheesecake Oaty Chomps bars (RRP £1.99 for five 20g bars) combine fruit…
