It can be hard to know what to buy your own child at times so god knows how people who don’t spend each day with them are meant to know. Well Wicked Uncle have the solution. There website enables you to search depending on the child’s age and gender !. So I approached my brother and asked him if he was up for the Wicked Uncle challenge. All he had to do was order some items off their website . I didn’t tell him what sort of things I wanted or what Ava would like I left it up to him. My brother tries his best to come and see…

A good night sleep with Cosi bed sheet
,When Ava was born she was a really good sleeper , from day one she would go 3-4 hours during the night . We then got to the point where she would wake once in the night or not at all !. We were so lucky being able to have a good night sleep. Then at 4 months old she decided that sleep wasn’t for her ,nothing I would do would make her sleep every night was a battle. So I started to search for something that would help her to sleep. Ava loved to be swaddled as a baby so my first thought was a sleep sac but we…

Weaning made easy with the Béaba Babycook plus
When I first started to think about weaning Ava I really wanted to make everything myself so I knew exactly what she was having. I did try a few times but found the equipment I had just didn’t do the job good enough and was really time consuming. So sadly I had given up on homemade meals . So when I was approached by Béaba to see if I would like to review their Babycook plus I was over the moon. I was hoping that this piece of equipment would help me achieve the goal I had in the start to give Ava homemade meals. The Béaba baby cook is…

Hartbeeps muti-sensory class review
Yesterday we were very kindly asked to go to the launch of Hartbeeps in Telford. For those of you that don’t know Hartbeeps is an award winning multi-sensory class for children right from birth. Many of you will know how hard it is to get out of the house with one child, well yesterday me and my friend thought it would be a good idea to take three children to the Hartbeeps class. So as you can guess we were running late after my daughter was crying in the car and my friends eldest needing the toilet . So sadly we missed the start of the class. Emma the leader of…

Thicker Hair with Nanogen
Since having Ava I have found that my hair has gone really thin and falls out in but clumps how I am not bald I will never know. So when I was offered the Chance to try Nanogen thickening treatment I was intrigued to see if it would work. The Nanogen hair thickening products have a growth factor that encourages hair growth right from the first use. It’s used in the same way as all shampoo and conditioners, but do make sure to leave the conditioner on for the specified time of 4 minutes. Along with the shampoo and conditioner I did try the Hair thickening spray but found that…

Many of you may have heard about forest school as many schools and nurseries now run sessions which is great for the children’s development.In a nutshell Forest school is about taking the class room outdoors and is bases on the philosophy of nature-based play and learning that encourages children’s confidence and self-esteem. Forest school is not just for nurseries or school time you can easily do forest school activities at home. You may already do some of the activates without knowing. This book shares some of…

mam anti-colic bottles: review
When Ava was little she did suffer with a little bit of colic and I wish I knew about these bottles. Even though she no longer has colic I could see the difference in her from using the mam anti-colic bottle. I find with the current brand we use not matter what teat I use on them she can collapse them .Quite often she will get hiccups after a feed. I experienced non of this whilst using the mam anti-colic bottles. The MAM bottle teat is called a Silk Teat it fits perfectly in your little ones mouth.I found that Ava dribbled a lot less of her feed whilst using the MAM…

KangaWrap review
I have seen many parents carrying their children in these wraps and I think to myself I would love to use one of them but it looks so hard and I would just never be able to do it. Well I have recently been given the opportunity to try the KangaWrap and see if I can be like one of them parents I see walking down the street. The KangaWrap comes in a handy sleeve meaning that you can fold it away and put it back in it when not in use. I now keep this in my car so I can use it when we are out and about…

Milton: Antibacterial Surface Wipes
When I think of sterilising I straight away think of Milton. Milton have been the leading name in sterilising for 65 years !!. When having a little person sterilising items are at the top of your list especially when they start putting anything and everything in their mouths !. Some of you may be thinking what is the importance of sterilising . Well when you sterilise your little ones bottles and toys you are killing the germs that may be on them. As they are only little their immune system are not yet strong enough to fight against all of the germs around them which in turn could make them poorly. I…

#shakeitslim with Forza :review
Since having Ava I haven’t lost as much weight as I wanted and this was starting to get me down a little . A lot of my pre pregnancy clothes just didn’t fit me and I was finding I was wearing the same clothes day in day out and not feeling good about myself at all. A lot of the time I found I just wasn’t eating a lot I would miss meals as I was having to sort Ava out . When speaking to Jordan he explained to me that I will not loose the weight if I’m not eating . Finding it hard to fit all meals In…

Our Weaning Journey so far with Ella’s Kitchen
A couple of weeks ago now we were very kindly sent some Ella’s kitchen pouches to try. It was really cute that the box came addressed to Ava as after all it was going to be for her to enjoy not me.( I have tried some of them not going to lie !). Inside the box was some green shredded paper which has been great for some sensory exploration. So as soon as she was old enough for them I thought I would start introducing some of the different flavours to her . I had made sure that Ava was ready for weaning by talking to my health visitor who…

Infacare baby bath soft and gentle on babies skin
One of Ava’s favourite things to do is to have a bath so when we was sent InfaCare baby bath to try we were super excited . InfaCare baby bath is ultra mild meaning that it is gentle on your little ones skin and is also formulated not to irritate . Making it perfect for little ones and as suggested on the bottle is perfect for babies from 1 month. The baby bath is fragranced with a lovely smell I would liken it to nappy sacs (obviously unused ones 😊) and personally I love this smell. The bottle suggests that the bubbles are long lasting and this can be seen…

If you have ever weaned a baby then you will know what a messy affair it can be . So when skibz sent me one of their catcherz bibs to try I was so excited !! .

The plastic is also BPA free which is huge plus for me . Whist working in nurserys we have used a different branded bib around the same idea as the Catcherz bib but i…

Milton mini portable soother steriliser
Late last week we were sent the mini portable soother steriliser from Milton. I was so excited to try this out as Ava has recently learnt how to get her dummy out of her mouth then drop it . Normally on the floor whilst we’re out and about !! . Carrying lots of dummies just incase was getting a little frustrating . Now I will no longer have to do this ( thank you so much Milton !!) One of my biggest worries is germs especially on Ava’s things as her being little still I worry that she my become poorly so sterilising is such a big thing for me…
