Since our feeding journey began, almost four months ago, their are a few items that have been essential to me for both nursing and bottle feeding with expressed milk. The following items are my current essentials that have helped us on our way.
Since before Taylor was born I knew that, if I could, I wanted to breastfeed. With the help and support of Medela we’ve been doing great. Taylor is now 14 weeks old and exclusively breastfed, I always look at him in wonderment when he feeds at the sheer joy I feel knowing he has grown, developed and thrived solely through me.
I’ve been using the Medela Swing Electric and Harmony Manual breastpump to start stock-piling my milk, I’m due to continue my driving lessons so I need to prepare for spending time away from Tails.
This week I’ve teamed up with the lovely folks at Brother Max to give you the opportunity to win one of their Bear Carry and Hang Nightlight’s, Brother Max are a brand that I personally love for their sleek, modern designs that are both practical and oozing with style!

This week I’ve finally taken the time to start making thank you cards for the lovely gifts Taylor has received since his arrival. Before he was born I bought some cute die-cut thank you cards in the sales, I think they’re intended for weddings but they seemed too cute to pass up. I also used […]
As a first time mum I’ve found that my outlook on things such as shopping has completely changed, before I became pregnant I would treat myself on a monthly basis from my favourite department stores whether it be going to a makeup concession or my favourite brand of clothing, I would shop! Since being pregnant and becoming a mum I’ve had a few shopping trips and each time I have failed to buy anything for myself, not because I can’t buy for myself anymore but because I just don’t want anything! However I always find things for baby T.
