Slopsville – our baby weaning diary. Week Six.
What do kippers, papaya, Kitkats, mashed potato, tuna, mango, yoghurt, broccoli, Weetabix, toast, cheese, peaches, salmon, scrambled egg, Philadelphia, and chocolate Buttons have in common? No, that’s not my hangover diet (well, take away the fruit/veg, add a packet of Boasters and fourteen cups of tea and it is, actually), it’s a list of the foods seven-month-old Joe has tried in the past couple of weeks. I’m not...
Silver Cross Buggy Organiser review
This is a new offering from Silver Cross, and is the step past the big ole changing bag. There comes a point when you have a running around toddler who is almost out of nappies and your baby-bag needs change. No longer do you need a bag that comes with 6,432 pockets and a kitchen sink as standard. But you do often need more a little more than a grown up’s handbag (remember them? I have fond hazy memories of half-empty bags and...
Silver Cross Classic Sleepover Pram – What WE Say…
The Silver Cross Sleepover is a lot of pram for a fair amount of money. For the first few months of Joe’s life, we used it as an alternative to a crib (and an alternative to his hammock, which sometimes – for no apparent reason – he wouldn’t settle in). We used it with the rocking stand, but didn’t actually bother with the rocker (you can set it to static) because the rocking motion is minimal and made a...
Freya Design Boxes Review
Just gorgeous. That’s what we say about Freya Design wooden keepsake boxes. We were asked to look at the baby trinket gift boxes; three little boxes (in blue or pink flavours) for keeping baby’s name braclet, first curl and first tooth. These boxes are utterly delightful and very well made (tiny magnetic catches on the lid of each box). If you are looking for a simply gorgeous gift to celebrate the arrival of a new baby...
Baby Blooms Bouquet reviews
I’ve seen adverts for Baby Blooms for a while now and always thought they looked cool. The bouquet was delivered in a cardboard box, but once I took it out I found that it genuinely looked like a hand-tied bouquet. (And every time I showed it to someone I had to point out that most of the flowers weren’t flowers at all. Everyone thought it was real.) Fake flowers are mixed in with the clothing ‘blooms’. Mine...
Cuskiboo Review
I just love Cuskis – they are perfect comforters because they are so much smaller than a blanket, can be washed and dried more readily, they fit neatly in the pushchair and are also suitable for newborns. When I was asked to trial the Cuskiboo I knew it would be an easy task as I am already a great fan of Cuski, as is my 18 month old son. He always finds his Cuski when he is tired (not that Cuski is ever too far away!) and...
