Practical Steps for Gentle Weaning

March 31, 2014 by heatherss 11 Comments

I've recently been reading "Mothering Your Nursing Toddler" by Norma Jane Bumgarner, published by La Leche League. It's a good book, but I was particularly interested in ways to wean my child off the boob. In a gentle way, of course. Nicky is now 21 months old and is steadily nearing his second … [Read more...]

Nicky’s New Bib

March 21, 2014 by heatherss 14 Comments

Nicky's eating has definitely progressed these days. He is better able to communicate what he wants, and will stand, grunting, by the biscuits or the fridge to show what he wants. He especially likes to grunt when we are eating to tell us that he prefers our food to his. (I am still giving him some … [Read more...]

My Child Won’t Eat (Book Review)

July 13, 2013 by heatherss 13 Comments

  It is rather an exasperating endeavor trying to get your child to eat. Ask me, I know. Some days I only get him to eat two spoons of yoghurt and some of his pouch. He doesn’t like the puree I made for him. He cries when I try and put him in the high chair. I have now officially given up on … [Read more...]

Granny’s Visit

July 6, 2013 by heatherss 6 Comments

June has been our month for visitors. We first had DH's parents visiting for his party, and my MIL was a huge help in making that a success. I had a week break and then my mother arrived. Granny enjoyed playing with Nicky. They had fun clapping hands and showing how to walk. My mom also … [Read more...]

I've just been downloading a whole load of ebooks. I actually don't know how I got there. It was one of those comment love posts that I just clicked through.

Solids update

June 8, 2013 by heatherss 4 Comments

I read somewhere on someone’s blog comments that a pediatrician was quoted as saying “Food before One is Just for Fun.” Well, it may be fun for Nicky, but it certainly isn’t for me. And since he is turning one on the 13th of June, we need to step things up. Here is a blow by blow report of how … [Read more...]

Trying baby led weaning

January 29, 2013 by heatherss 1 Comment

Just thought I’d share some pictures of Nicky trying finger food. Most of it landed on the floor, but that is part of the fun. … [Read more...]

Sippy cup meltdown

January 23, 2013 by heatherss 2 Comments

  I've mentioned before that Nicky has a thing for water bottles. Well, I had yet to see his reaction to a sippy cup until now. I have never seen the little guy assert his will so strongly! But let me start at the beginning. Recently when I've popped out for a bit I've told my maid … [Read more...]

Playing with solids

January 20, 2013 by heatherss 2 Comments

Now we are back home and things have settled down, I have been making an effort to get Nicky eating some solids. I may still yet use baby led weaning, but for now purees are working for me (the carrot slither disintegrated in his hand). I decided to go with Brenda's suggestion of one food once a … [Read more...]

Solids Workshop

October 23, 2012 by heatherss 15 Comments

I'm sure I'm just adding to the confusion by gathering all this information on solids. However, I know that when the time comes I'll follow my motherly instincts and do what works for us. This workshop was put together by my lactation consultant. It looks to me that she follows a similar line of … [Read more...]
