Today’s guest post comes from one of my online friends, Louise. We always knew that when we started our family, we didn’t want a huge gap between the children so were thrilled when we found out we were expecting number 2 (D2) when Will was 13 months old. The pregnancy progressed exactly like my first but was under consultant lead care as I delivered via emergency section the last time. We have no serious health issues in our families and I don’t know about anyone else but you don’t go into the scan expecting to be told anything apart from …

Bonding with baby
I recently happened to come across a statement on social media where basically, someone had said that breastfeeding gives you more of a bond with your baby than formula feeding does. This is something which has irritated me before so I thought that now was about the right time to blog about it. I shouldn’t need to state, but this is not at all a dig at breastfeeding as I actually managed a few weeks myself, it’s purely the statement and the derivation of it. With little man J, we didn’t take to breastfeeding, but that doesn’t mean we didn’t bond …
Camilia oral solution – teething relief
As a parent, teething is a horrible thing to see our babies go through, no matter what their age. With J, his first tooth didn’t come through until he was 9 months old, but looking back I think he was teething from around 10 weeks old.

With N, although all babies are different, I have to be honest that I was expecting pretty much the same. But, I think he started teething …
Review – Infacare Night-time Baby Bath
Little man J loves his baths – he would spend all evening in there if he were able to. He loves pouring water from his bendy jug, fishing with his toys, making random words with his foam letters, drawing using his bath crayons, playing boats and quack quacks, but most of all he loves to play with the bubbles! When we were invited to try Infacare Night-time Baby Bath I gladly obliged as we love to try out new bubble baths. J’s skin is a little sensitive, and N’s even more so, so the fact that this is an ultra mild …
Review – Sterimar (baby & congestion relief)
No matter what the season – spring, summer, autumn or winter – someone in our household always has a cold. It’s usually me, I think I have a weak immune system. The feeling of having a blocked nose is awful [majorly annoying] for me, never mind for babies who can’t really communicate and need their nose to breathe through. I was recently invited to test out Sterimar. Sterimar is a natural sea water nasal spray which can be used to provide relief from and help to clear up congestion, colds, allergies, rhinitis, sinusitis and rhino-pharyngitis. We tested two of the products …
