The week of June 20-26 is Breastfeeding Awareness Week in Britain. During this week there will be a Keep Britain Breastfeeding Scavenger Hunt. I’m feeling very bittersweet about it this year. Last year I was just sad, as I had hoped to be taking part in it with our angel. The year before I had already failed with J, so was much the same. Don’t get me wrong, I am very pro-breastfeeding. It just didn’t work for us, and it made me oh so sad. I would have loved to take part this year. Seeing all the posts about it brings …
Review – Dentinox teething gel & infant colic drops
Little man J was a late starter with his teeth coming through (compared to his peers anyway) and didn’t get his first one until 9 months old.

No more babies
So it’s official. No more babies for us. I’ve taken the steps for it to be so, as the temptation would otherwise be there. Not long after N arrived, I started selling off my maternity clothes on a well known auction site. They have practically all gone now. I’ve started sorting out J’s old clothes into what to keep for N, and any that N outgrows are being sorted for what to sell or give away and what to keep for a memory quilt in the future. As N outgrows the baby items (such as the swing) they are being …
