Baby and Dog, Baby and Cat… Introducing your new baby to your old baby!

hannah — Wed, 15 May 2013 21:58:15 +0000

A wee while ago I was chatting to Ally who was 32 weeks pregnant about mum-to-be life …she asked me, and I quote “How do we introduce our slightly nutty cat to the baby when it arrives?” Little Sophie Baker arrived on 7th April, so I’m way too late to help out the Baker family...

Buying second hand kids stuff #nemumshour

hannah — Wed, 08 May 2013 09:33:10 +0000

I am inherently lazy when it comes to hunting for bargains, it doesn’t seem to be in my DNA. If I go to the sales with the intention of finding a bargain, I quickly lose patience with sifting through tat and head on over to the ‘New Season’ stuff. However, I know people who are...

Stopping Breastfeeding

hannah — Tue, 07 May 2013 09:37:48 +0000

Side Note: Breastfeeding is a funny thing. Whatever I say here will be judged, whether I’m pro breastfeeding or bottle feeding. So, just so you know, I’m not trying to sway anyone to do anything one way or another, I’m just going to say how I feel and what I think about stopping breastfeeding. I...

Taking Baby Swimming – A guide to underwater swimming

hannah — Thu, 02 May 2013 11:41:37 +0000

A friend of mine saw Reuben’s underwater photo last week from the post “when can I take my baby swimming”. She is going on holiday soon and wants to take her baby swimming, so she asked me to get some underwater tips for baby Barney. Happily, Theresa at Nemo swimming is letting me pass on her trade...

Currently…clean the house and baby swimming!

Baby swimming – holding on! Admiring Since I was given Jessica Alba’s book, I’ve been having a bit of girl crush. She paints what feels like a genuine picture of her life, and while I can imagine some people would be annoyed by its perfectness, I find it aspirational. What I mainly admire about her...

Exercise after pregnancy – Tabata

hannah — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 19:22:15 +0000

As part of my exercise after pregnancy regime, last week I tried Tabata. I did NOT like the sound of it. 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off. Repeat 6 times!! Per exercise! And there’s 12 exercises! But Dan thought I could do with an extra session that week (post holiday!). I was a little nervous...

VBAC

hannah — Sun, 28 Apr 2013 15:58:20 +0000

Pre-childbirth my experience of caesarean, never mind a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section), was limited to ‘What to expect when you’re expecting’, which I saw when I was about 30 weeks pregnant and it terrified me. One of the women had to be rushed off for an emergency c-section in which she was drugged up...

Travelling with baby – what I packed (and needed/didn’t need)

hannah — Mon, 22 Apr 2013 22:53:19 +0000

It’s been a week since we went travelling with baby to Gran Canaria and although we’ve been back a week, I’m still not through the washing pile!! So, while I wait for the next load of washing to finish I thought I’d evoke that last minute packing feeling (yes, I am the kind of person...

When can I take my baby swimming? 5 reasons to take your baby swimming

hannah — Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:29:50 +0000

My nick name as a kid was water baby. When we were near water, I’d be in it. Even when we were out walking, if I could hear a stream or spy something watery looking in the distance, I’d be running off to find it, stripping off as I went. Despite this love of water,...

Real Nappy Week – 7 preconceptions about Real Nappies that aren’t true!

hannah — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 15:44:21 +0000

This week is Real Nappy week, so to honour the occasion I am going to talk about…real nappies! At the beginning of the year I blogged about Hattie, from free our kids, and her ambitions to live for free for a year. In the post, I wrote about how she inspired me to consider using Real Nappies....
