So long maternity leave, it is time to go to work…
Monday the 13th of November marks a brand new chapter in my life. Not only am I back to work but Robin starts nursery. As I write this now Robin is in nursery for 2 hours having a settling in session, whilst I munch on a pastry and drink a cappuccino in my work cafĂ©….
Cows Milk Allergy In Babies – Robin’s Story
We first noticed Robin was in some kind of discomfort early on in his life. I can’t quite remember if it was days in or weeks in, but it became most apparent to us at night when he would roll around in pain, especially after his 2am feed. Like any new parent we had no…
Preparing for the Grand Move – Mummy’s Bed to Robin’s Own Cot and Room!
Robin is almost 7 months old and I have been soooo ready or him to move into his own room. He probably outgrew his Chicco Next to Me crib about a month ago if not more (or just took a dislike to it), so ever since he has been in our bed. As lovely as…

Say that again…I’m a Mother?!Â
The First Few Days of Being a Mother I won’t go into details about my labour but it was long and I ended up with an emergency c-section due to Robin’s heart rate decreasing, which to be fair I wasn’t really taking on board as I was off my face on gas and air. One…
Motherhood SOS – The Big Adjustment
As I write this Robin Oleander is having a nap. The thing about naps is that you never know if you will have 20 minutes, 1 hour or more. Robin turned 6 weeks yesterday and although I have been wanting to blog I have literally not had time since we brought him home from the…
