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…

How to save money with a second baby
The good thing about having a very active 16 month old is that there’s NO time to think about being pregnant. This is both a good and a bad thing. Good because if I think too much I start to worry how I’m going to cope. Bad because I’m finding it really hard to put…
Review: Annabel Karmel baby purees
Annabel Karmel, the UK’s top parenting author on feeding babies and children, has just launched Annabel Karmel’s Organic Fresh Baby Purées.

Bye bye baby
I’m resigned to the fact that we’ve recently waved goodbye to those blissful baby months. You know, the ones where you can guarantee that if you leave your baby on his playmat in the middle of the floor he’ll still be there while you answer the door. Ever since Edward turned 9 months (a mere…

Our Stokke obsession
Just before we were about to start weaning Edward we looked around for a highchair. We wanted something a bit different whilst being practical and affordable. We decided on a Stokke Tripp Trapp but could only find two suppliers in London – Harrods or Born! Luckily Born is based near us in Stoke Newington so…
