When the toddler was little I went through every range of cups until I found one he was happy with. I didn’t realise until we were sent some Anyway Up cups to review that it had been the very fabulous Anyway Up Cow cup. The toddler adored it until we progressed to a grown up cup and had to put it away. The people behind Anyway Up cups have just relaunched their range and I was happy to review a cup with Little Sis who really needed to be weaned off a bottle. It was a bit harder than I…

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…

I would like to think that having one child makes me an expert but in the couple of months between the toddler and baby I seem to have forgotten all the important stuff! Little Sis is now 6 months old and she’s hungry for more than milk. The only problem is I seem to have lost my confidence with weaning. At 18 weeks I started her on a spoonful of baby rice which she clearly hated. We quickly moved on to ready made purees in pouches which she demolishes. I have to admit that the toddler takes a lot of…
