We’re at that stage where James is on three meals a day. That means exactly what all mamas with young babies know it means: The pressure is on. Gone are the days when all I needed were my boobs and a nappy or two. Also it’s been over five years since I pureed a meal and while I never thought things could change that much in this department I am actually discovering all sorts of new information and food combinations.
Happy New Year guys!
We’ve hit a major milestone people! James is now six months old and a whole lot has been happening. Before it’s all lost in the chaos that is my tired and sleepless mind, I wanted to jot it down.
Lately I’ve been spending time sorting through photos and finally getting them printed. I go through phases where alot of my energy goes into worrying myself sick that Georgie and James won’t have any printed or digital memories of their lives as kids. That all the pictures I take and the videos I make will somehow be a waste. And then last night, just as I was about to start scrolling through my photos and ticking the boxes of all the ones I want to keep forever, I realised that I have already been doing something great for my babies.
If there’s one thing that all parents need and want more than anything, it’s sleep. Most of us spend hours researching ways to help our little ones go to sleep. And stay asleep. I am definitely one of those parents. I have probably read every single sentence, article and book on the matter of sleep and there’s one thing I have noticed that they all have in common. One single piece of advice.
