Sometime around the days she started crawling, Georgie started to resent having to lie (fairly) still on the changing mat to have her nappy or clothes changed. To combat this we have started letting her get dressed like a big girl – standing up on the floor or on our lap. However, you can’t really change …
A few months ago I did a post about treasure baskets and how great they can be for sensory development & I thought I would post a quick update with the contents of our basket. We keep our treasure basket in our bedroom so that Georgie gets to play with it as a treat when …
Georgie has been fighting a cold for a week or so, poor lamb, and has been having trouble sleeping because she has a tickly cough combined with a very snotty nose! She has been snoring like a trooper and finding it hard to breathe through her nose during feeds as well. So, after James finished …
Way back in late 2010 James and I decided that the ‘theme’ for our future nursery was to be a gender neutral (yet colourful instead of bland!) jungle theme – cheap to carry off and a fun environment for our future toddler to play in.

Georgie and I headed to one of the local baby clinics this morning to meet up with a health visitor in order to do her 9-12 month development check. It’s a little early as she is not even 9 months old yet, but they like to do them early in this area, or so I’ve …
I can’t believe it’s been two months since I last posted! So much has happened in the last 8 weeks or so and I have been either completely rushed off my feet due to a hectic schedule or feeling so cruddy that everything has seemed like a huge effort and I’ve struggled to get on …
I think if Georgie had to show off a specialist talent in some sort of Baby’s Got Talent competition, it would be filling her nappy. I say this not because of the frequency or skill with which she completes the task, but rather due to the extreme pride she has in her work. After each …
There has been a lot of stuff in the news lately about how the low numbers of midwives in the UK are risking the lives of both mother & baby at birth. The Royal College of Midwives recommends that there is one midwife for every 28 hospital births, but unfortunately this number isn’t met for …
