Well I can’t believe the original little man is now 2 years old. I haven’t updated about his progress as regularly as I should have, but it is my mission for the year for now, for both of them! Since my last update nearly 6 months ago, he has come on so much in lots of areas. He has so many new words (lots of them with thanks to Peppa Pig!).

Our breastfeeding journey
Though it may seem trivial to some, this for me is a really hard post to write due to my previous breastfeeding guilt with J. Breastfeeding is something I really wanted to achieve this time.

I’ve also never tried any regional foods from there! First up were these cheese biscuits – quite like ones we get …

You can read part 2 here. Monday 3rd March I was hoping that we would be allowed to go home today, but as little man #2 still wasn’t feeding directly from me, that was a no go. At this point I once again considered just totally switching to formula so we could go home. But then I remembered how bad it made me feel last time so I got my determined head on and tried to be positive. We could do this. Hubby came back to hospital, bringing little man #1 with him. As LM#1 has a short attention span, I …
