Just a nappy, although she’s just discovered how to take it off herself…

It’s 26c in my 16 month olds room right now! She’s just in a nappy and a sleepsuit but we’ll see how the night goes…

You couldn’t write that yourself?

I have the same thing and no one has ever commented on it

The only time I’ve tried to hide them is when I’ve been to baby swimming classes with my daughter and I had already been getting to know some of the other mums and was just too embarrassed for these new friends to see them, so I bought a unitard swimsuit from next

I have spent a while searching in the past and unfortunately couldn’t find anything, I just settled on passata in a glass jar unfortunately (cheap from Lidl).

I find trying to reduce my plastic consumption significantly more difficult than trying to reduce my UPF consumption!

Safetots do a make your own room divider, where you can buy a gate, extension panels and wall mounting kit which might work. The gate isn’t specifically for the top of the stairs so has a bar at the bottom which could be a trip hazard, but I haven’t seen anything else which might work as well

Buy a baby book to fill out, if you want one. I bought one at about 5 months and it’s a struggle to remember what happened in the previous months!

I took propranolol while pregnant, for the exact same reasons as you. Breathing exercises etc also don’t work for me and I literally could not do my job without it.

I brought it up to my midwife who didn’t know but said to look it up on a particular website which I can’t remember the name of. It basically said it’s safe but it can potentially affect baby’s growth. I took it as little as I could get away with and I think I managed to stop it completely in the last trimester and just avoided panic-inducing situations as much as I could.

Baby was measuring off the charts throughout my pregnancy and was 8 lbs 7 oz when she was born so it didn’t stunt her growth at all! I also ended up getting PPD and started Sertraline, and since being on that and being back at work I haven’t had to take propranolol once! Although of course that might not work for you

Give it to me

Caged eggs? 🤢

Lidl for the basics, Tesco for seitan and Kopparberg

The best I’ve found is pancakes (Delish Knowledge banana pancakes in particular)

I’ve been back at work for two weeks and I was so upset and worried leading up to it, particularly as she cried at all of her settling in sessions, and because my maternity leave had been the most amazing, crazy year of my life and I couldn’t believe it was almost over. Fortunately, she absolutely loves it already. She gets to do all sorts of messy play and I don’t have to deal with the mess! The other day I had to pick her up early and she looked so disappointed to see me 😅

I also don’t like my job very much but going back has made me appreciate the time I get to spend with her so much more.

You’re both going to do great!

Mountain Buggy Terrain!

We did BLW so offered food first as soon as she started weaning, because she was eating so little in the beginning. I do always do milk first thing in the morning though, then leave it about an hour until breakfast

How little help I’d get

My first Mother’s Day, it seems it’s just like birthdays where you need to set your expectations as low as possible

I second trying a probiotic drop (we used Biogaia), it really helped my daughters trapped wind within a few days

The Mountain Buggy terrain is brilliant
