Yesterday we went to the Caribbean island of St Maarten which is split into a Dutch side and a French side.
The weather was WET!! But we had a brilliant tour and then back to the ship for Caribbean night and cool cocktails!

Some highlights from our holiday at so far!
Weather has been hit and miss but we have ponchos thankfully!

When we asked the kids which part of the holiday they are enjoying so far, they both agreed that it was being together as a family! My heart is full!

I remember feeling a little anxious about eating out when Francesca was feeding herself at 6 months but I soon realised, using common sense and not ordering processed, salty foods gave so many options!

It was a lot easier than bringing my puree from home, getting it heated and then feeding my baby (like I did with Jack)

It meant the 4 of us could sit, eat and relax!

Which foods are your 'go to' in a restaurant with your baby feeding themselves?

April dates are here.

As I am away for half the month, there are only 4 public sessions running and spaces are filling up quickly.

I have some availability nearer the end of the month for private sessions if you are looking at learning about weaning with your NCT group or friends.

For all bookings please see website in bio where you will find all the details to secure your places.

For some babies, having an allergy for life isn't the case as there are some allergies which children do grow out of. I for example had an egg allergy as a child, I don't now. I do however have a severe fish allergy and unfortunately fish is one of those which is not a common allergenic food which children can grow out of. 😢

Which allergies are you battling with in your family if any?

Did you know that from the start of weaning, your 6 month old can enjoy bread? Not white bread as it has absolutely no nutritional benefit, but wholemeal or sourdough is fine!

When you start weaning, toast your bread so it has more structure and is easier for little fingers to manage!

Cut into fingers and top with unsalted butter, avocado, nut butters, cream cheese or other yummy toppings!

What is your favourite - wholemeal, sourdough or something else!?

One of things we talk about a lot on my weaning workshops are allergies!

I am an allergy sufferer and spend a lot of my time learning, understanding and conveying all the up to date information on this area so you are equipped to introduce allergenic foods to your baby when you start your weaning adventures!

Here are some reassuring facts about weaning and allergies.

If you want to know more, book onto one of my weaning workshops and we will go through this together!

On my workshops, I discuss both weaning routes - combination or baby-led weaning. This allows you to decide which route suits you best!

A week on Thursday I will be in The Heath room at centre.

Come and let me de-bunk all those old wives tales around weaning! Some of the ones I hear:

1. Start with 1 veg/food a day ❌
2. Delay introducing allergens ❌
3. Baby rice will help them sleep ❌
4. Use baby porridge ❌
5. You have to blend when you start ❌
6. Baby can't eat unblended food without teeth ❌

Let me explain all these, based on science and research and with your 6 months on-going support afterwards, you will leave feeling confident about weaning!
