I’m wondering how you other mamas deal with your babies’ constipation, or if they even have any. At 9.5 months, Baby J is swallowing more and more solid food. I try to offer him a variety of foods although he, like his older brother, has a preference for bready foods (cereal, rice bread). I’m having…
Today was one of those days where no amount of MMP (Mummy’s Military Planning) would make things go smoothly and follow the schedule I’d set out in my head. We missed the 4pm deadline when the supermarket closes to do this week’s big shop. It meant I had very limited food in the fridge and…
Recently we took Blake out for his first meal where we were to pick something for him to eat from the menu. This was a huge deal for me. I have spent months making absolutely everything he eats myself, from scratch but my husband and I decided it was time to take him out into…
This past week my mother was in town visiting. She doesn’t come out this way often, so we always make the hour drive to a small, popular Brasilian cafe when she’s here. With no high chair, we had to feed Baby J on our laps. He had a sampling of each of our plates, but…
I love my slow cooker! It allows me to chop chop chop the night before, bung it all in the cooker in the morning and get on with my day without worrying about rushing back to get dinner started. This was the first time I had made vegetarian chilli for Blake and I decided to…
So this picture was taken 2 months ago… trying to play catch-up!
Stir fry is so good for baby led weaning. It gives a variety of options for the baby to try, it’s quick to cook, and the whole family will enjoy it. Don’t be tempted to make “healthy stir fry” by just steaming everything or using a tiny bit of spritzed oil (basically trying to eliminate…
There’s a little berry farm near us, and they grow the best organic berries around. I picked up a basket of raspberries at the farmer’s market, and Anneliese and I went to town on them. It started off innocently enough… Anneliese wanted to be sure they could be trusted before diving in full-force. And within…
My mother makes organic strawberry jam every summer and of course it was something we had to feed Sebastian. He loves strawberries almost as much as he loves bread. I was planning on just spreading jam on a slice of whole wheat, mess be damned, when it occurred to me that he would probably do…
When I tweeted that Anneliese was eating watermelon, I got a couple responses along the lines of, “What if she eats a seed??” and “I want to give my son watermelon but I’m afraid he’ll eat some of the rind!” I will ask you though – WHAT IF she eats a seed? Do you think…
