For the birth of my second daughter we knew that she would be delivered by (hopefully!) planned elective c-section. Having a caesarean section is NEVER an easy decision, but it was one that was made with relative ease by my consultants around 16 weeks into my second daughter’s pregnancy. As it turned out pre-eclampsia meant …
We have been using the Owlet Smart Sock 3 for 4 months now, and so it seems like the perfect time to write up a review! We’ve had it for long enough to experience any common issues, and also have just switched to the second size sock (of 2), so we’re definitely getting our use …
We are the parents of a nine month old who has CMPA, FPIES and reflux. This means that we’ve had months of clearing up vomit and dealing with a baby in pain. I’m sure no parent wants to see their little one suffering and we don’t either. Over the last nine months we have been trying a …
In March 2016 our daughter was born! We had a slightly rocky start, with FPIES, reflux and a few other niggles along the way. Our daughter is now 4 months old and thanks to our bedtime routine that we have implemented she has been sleeping through the night for around 10.5-12 hours. Now we have a …
So something semi-funny happened recently. I accidentally taught my daughter to swear. Her first swear word, b*stard, was a pretty strong choice… I’m surprised it has taken until 17 months for her to hear, and repeat, a swear word. I’m a swearer. I can’t help it. I’ve just always been someone who expresses her happiness, anger …
My daughter is one year old. I cannot believe that a year has gone by since the day of her birth! Thinking back to her birth doesn’t fill me with great memories, besides having my wonderful daughter of course. Anyway, the last year has been full of ups and downs. Life is like that isn’t it! …
My daughter Daisy is almost two. I cannot believe how fast the past two years have gone by. The first years of your child’s life are filled with so many milestones from the first smile to the first tooth and for us now – first time sleeping in a big bed! It feels like yesterday …
Lets be real here. Finding time for yourself as a parent can be tough. Whether your child is a newborn or twenty they are probably still taking up much of your time. My own daughter is one and I’m always struggling to find the right balance. Between working from home, my husband working shifts, owning an allotment, …
Last year my husband and I became the proud parents of our daughter Daisy. Daisy is now 17 months old so this means we have had 17 months of dealing with dirty nappies. Not just any dirty nappies. The dirty nappies of a baby with multiple allergies and FPIES. We have been using a Sangenic …
AD. Christmas is fast approaching. You already know this don’t you?! Well I don’t know about you but I have a blinking HUGE family to get presents for. While I have been fortunate enough to get some goodies sent to me this year, that I have put up for Christmas, there always seems to be a few more …
The last few months, now my daughter is no longer a baby, I have been working on taking care of myself more. For me, I’ve been working on self-care as a parent more and I want to share 5 ways I’m achieving this recently. I’ve written about my first year as a parent previously and I’ve …
