This week we’ve been trying Simillac toddler growing-up milk in partnership with Britmums – Taylor was exclusively breastfed until we began weaning with solids at 7 months. 22 months on he still nurses in the morning and before bed, we’re in the process of weaning him off of this and introducing alternatives. He will drink cows milk […]
As my return to work crept closer I began to worry about our breastfeeding journey. We’d been going strong for 9 months at the time, Taylor hadn’t had anything but breast milk for 8 months and was still in the early stages of weaning. Was it time to stop? I didn’t want to stop but from […]

It’s been 20 days since I officially became a mother and with that a member of what seems to be an elite club of people who spend their nights staring down into the eyes of tiny people who feed at all hours. In those moments sitting in the dimly lit night whilst your partner snores away next to you, when those big eyes are staring back at you and you feel nothing but love, you forget that you haven’t slept for three nights, you’re middle of the night snacks are just out of arms reach, baby is already feeding and you need the loo!
