Hi everyone, today I wanted to share a positive pregnancy post, I loved being pregnant and I wanted to share some my favourite things about it. I’m not saying there weren’t hard parts (hello hip pain and heart burn!) but I really enjoyed it. Also everyone’s pregnancies are different so what was great for me may not be great for you but I hope you enjoy being pregnant too!
Over the past week Jasper has been sleeping pretty terribly and waking up quite regularly in the night. So the other morning I went out for an early morning stroll to the shop so he could catch up on his sleep and I could try and wake up for the day!
I’m pretty sure the reason for his sleep is because of teething (he has little red cheeks and so much drool during the day, bless him!). So far we have been using a sophie the giraffe teething toy and cold cucumber sticks to help him with the pain, but I would love to know any other tips you have to help a teething baby!
Thanks for reading, Jen x
Hi Everyone, today I thought I would share some of the ways we have kept Baby Jasper entertained for the first 6 months of his life. These are the things he enjoyed the most so I thought they would be useful to share. I know when you are tired it can be hard to find new things to do with your baby so I thought this might provide some inspiration too!

Today I thought I would share a funny expectation vs reality. The other day I tried to take a cute picture with Jasper and instead of getting bunch of nice pictures, I mainly ended up just being clobbered in the face. It was a lot of fun and we did end up getting some really good pictures!
How do you find taking pictures with your baby?

On Friday I had an exciting delivery of Jasper’s 3 to 6 month baby photos and I have spent the last few days adding them to the album shown below. I thought I would share this as I think it is a nice way of storing a selection of the favourites of all the many photos usually taken of babies, I know we have literally taken 1000’s of Jasper!
Hi Everyone, I have been exclusively breastfeeding Baby Jasper for nearly 7 months now so I thought I would share my essentials for feeding. I have found that these are the items that have made my breastfeeding journey much easier and more enjoyable!
I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year and all the best for 2019! I am really excited to keep writing on here in 2019 and I hope to try and write more (baby dependant!). I have got quite a few ideas that I hope you will enjoy reading and that might be useful.

Hi Everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and a magical festive period. This year is Baby Jasper’s first Christmas (exciting!), so I wanted to share some of his day.
Yesterday at mid morning I was breast feeding Jasper and I noticed quite an angry looking red patch on my right boob and thought it could be mastitis. I immediately did a google search, read the NHS website, panicked and thought it would be best to make a GP’s appointment. Luckily they were able to make me an appointment for that afternoon, which I was grateful for given the time of year.
Hi everyone! Following on from my previous two posts here and here all about preparing babies first foods, I thought it would be good to share what Baby Jasper eats in a day now that he is 6 months old. From the previous posts you will now that he has been weaning on to solid food since he was just older than 4 months. I now offer him 3 meals a day with milk on demand as well. It can be a bit hit and miss with how much he eats each time, sometimes all and sometimes nothing and sometimes just the finger food or just the mashed food! I hope you find it interesting seeing what he eats on a typical day.
