It's been such a long time since I've blogged, I really wanted to do more since Freya arrived but then came the year of the pandemic and lockdowns, she turned from a baby into a toddler right before my very eyes and suddenly needed chasing after, lots of cuddles, milk, storytimes, a million park trips and the never ending cycle of cooking and scrubbing of the high chair along with trying to fit bits of work in where I can so it's pretty much been about survival rather than having much time to think about blogging. {Plus Instagram pretty much is a blog these days right where I'm sure you see enough of us?!} But now I'm pregnant again! Eeeek! And it's winter, and she's pretty good at taking a long lunchtime nap now and I'm not *so* exhausted anymore where I feel too sick or need to just close my eyes for the five minutes I get at the end of running around getting everything done so it's been nice to log back into this space. I'm typing this from my bed, it's a cold grey January day just after Lockdown 3 has been announced. I wanted to document this time, for me and the future baby to look back upon {I've set a precedent with Freya's pregnancy story that I don't want to start that classic second child not as many milestones documented off already ha} and because that first trimester is so so lonely - especially this year with lockdown after lockdown. You're full of crazy symptoms but probably haven't told many people yet, you're googling everything, trying to tick the weeks off and wondering what's normal and I'm always so happy when I get messages - still 2 years on - from mama's saying how helpful the pregnancy blogs were first time around. So this will probably be a little samey to Freya's pregnancy story but I wanted to document it all nonetheless and share this special journey so far... </p><p>*just to note - please don't take any of this as anything other than my personal experience, I'm certainly no medical expert and every pregnancy is so individual and different so please don't worry if you have a very different experience. Just sharing my personal perspective xx </p><span></span><span><a name='more'></a></span><p><br /></p>This baby was very much planned although it was slightly complicated in that because I was still breastfeeding Freya up until late September, my periods or cycles in general hadn’t showed any signs of returning. I asked on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CEJxqrKAZex/?igshid=1g48d1sjmdzwn">this post</a> back in the summer asking other mama’s when theirs had returned, for most it was when their baby started weaning or sleeping through the night. I read SO many articles about it but didn’t want to have to choose between stopping feeding Freya just for fertility reasons, something we had both loved so much. I was trusting that she still needed me right now and that my body was obviously naturally spacing my fertility for a future baby? We weren't in a great rush for a second baby at all, in our heads our ideal age gap has always been between 2-3 years but I just wanted to know it would be possible and know where I was cycle wise if we did want to start thinking about it. In the end, it was right for us for a number of reasons to start reducing Freya’s breastfeeding down really gradually over a couple of months and I could tell she was ready. From around August time we reduced it, just leaving the pre bed feed in the end until she was more than happy to replace that with a sippy cup of cows milk and a cuddle with her bedtime story. Ben and I had been *not-not* trying for a baby since early in the summer {and both taken vitamins to prepare} but not really had any signs of ovulation and now I had finished feeding I wondered how quickly my body would kick back into gear hormone wise. It’s such a big shift! Luckily it only took a couple of weeks but the post feeding blues in the meantime were completely REAL and I felt so unlike me for about a week in total. I couldn’t sleep, I would lay awake at night with insomnia, my heart and head racing, I would break down in tears sobbing - despite reducing our breastfeeding really gradually as I was so aware of post weaning depression. Freya, bless her was totally fine and didn't even ask for the boob anymore, in hindsight it was such a great age to wean her as she didn't make me feel like it was the wrong thing to stop and I think forgot about it almost right away! Amongst all of this, I was looking out for ovulation signs and tracking it with ovulation sticks {I swear by <a href="http://ebay.us/kTVMoZ" target="_blank">these cheapies from eBay </a>in a bulk bag so you can test lots - AD/affiliate link}. <div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitbD540CB4sinzTgOGUzQP8f19YRweYe-vfHNb1FvC7waLIb6seOdazHpj1fafAVPP3xEabJLwkKiUM02BGz0ymAsQaPox8PC0jHAJkpBB-ZMp3oXvVzqBmR6skwykKk3APaCJpdWxqys/s1501/IMG_8660.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1501" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitbD540CB4sinzTgOGUzQP8f19YRweYe-vfHNb1FvC7waLIb6seOdazHpj1fafAVPP3xEabJLwkKiUM02BGz0ymAsQaPox8PC0jHAJkpBB-ZMp3oXvVzqBmR6skwykKk3APaCJpdWxqys/w480-h640/IMG_8660.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Without getting too personal, I know my body pretty well and the signs to look out for so took a test and saw - after months of wondering when I would see anything again - a positive line! It got darker and then peaked. I didn’t know for sure if I had ovulated or not. Could it be a practice run after months, well over 2 years in fact, of my body not needing to ovulate. But we treated it as if it was real and then I was into that two week wait! I had heard of so many women who had fallen pregnant in their first month after fully stopping breastfeeding, you’re meant to be extra fertile. It would be a huge bonus to not have a period for years. But I didn’t want to get my hopes up too much, if I hadn’t ovulated or indeed we hadn’t been lucky enough to ‘catch’ that first egg then at least I’d have a bit more of an idea cycle wise for the next month. It’s weird, I already have one incredible baby, we feel like we’ve won the lottery by having her. But again, like last time, once you think/hope to become pregnant again, if your personality is anything like mine, it does become something you can't stop thinking about. Maybe it’s just me. I didn’t really expect to feel like that again so much for our second but I guess once you’ve decided to try again, you start hoping it will happen quickly and just want to know when it's likely to. All the while whilst knowing that it’s such a privilege to have one baby and to be able to try naturally at all. I know sadly so many are not in that position. <br /><br />The two week wait came and around 8 days after that positive ovulation test, my boobs were really really tender and sore. They hurt when I was running which I never really get and around 8/9 days DPO they started leaking some milk despite me not having BF for a few weeks - and even when I was feeding they hadn’t leaked for months. A few days after I started waking up in the night, felt really hot and then had some brown spotting. All the while, I obviously hoped these were good signs but my hormones were all over the place so I didn’t know if it was just my cycles coming back in general or anything to get excited about. Then, at the exact same point DPO as with freya, I had this weird lump come on my nipple. I’m not even going to say TMI anymore as if you’re reading this you’re likely to be a woman experiencing similar so 🤷🏻♀️. I decided to take a test a couple of days early. I didn’t know when exactly to expect a period/ positive test as although I had the date of the positive ovulation test, that only tells you the surge before ovulation and not when exactly you did ovulate/conception occurred. Again, using cheapy but accurate pregnancy tests I started testing and saw the faintest second line!!! Eeeeek. I didn’t want to get *too* excited yet, although did immediately send a photo to two of my best friends to get their thoughts, and then the days that followed were waiting for the next day to take another test with that FMU {first morning pee}. It wasn’t getting a lot darker so I was a bit wary. I then took a clearblue early response test which did show as pregnant. And then a day or so later, bought a clearblue weeks test which showed 1-2!!! It suddenly felt like it was really happening. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhokO9xAl6j16AbQ1cBSEkD2MBqSIJ5Tnc8BULbVihwkQDlWj1OJQXLh4JCtlYjWDH71b7mCt4rp6YsJQRkmee_9xlvbriM2ZT-iKm-sxhlsK_ICORNLI1SLkJzAEWw4wGZIzdL1m7Egbs/s1484/IMG_8661.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1484" data-original-width="1125" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhokO9xAl6j16AbQ1cBSEkD2MBqSIJ5Tnc8BULbVihwkQDlWj1OJQXLh4JCtlYjWDH71b7mCt4rp6YsJQRkmee_9xlvbriM2ZT-iKm-sxhlsK_ICORNLI1SLkJzAEWw4wGZIzdL1m7Egbs/s320/IMG_8661.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The very first test.

Ben said I should take a photo of it which I did 💫🥰 it felt like a good omen, the confirmation of something special. {photos never do the moon justice on an iPhone}</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmNzNzsE2cq6Ton-IlpkJNIayjhhmeQ96jyu-yfGuhCVLj3wz6GDOhpTOXzViAlahkOUZihA7AT10Izd9IZIiSMc8QWJlGgG9WEmFYkPzie9EVtCa_9NWW6oe8AnoEOB33RxirOfwDKiM/s1382/IMG_8663.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1382" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmNzNzsE2cq6Ton-IlpkJNIayjhhmeQ96jyu-yfGuhCVLj3wz6GDOhpTOXzViAlahkOUZihA7AT10Izd9IZIiSMc8QWJlGgG9WEmFYkPzie9EVtCa_9NWW6oe8AnoEOB33RxirOfwDKiM/w520-h640/IMG_8663.jpg" width="520" /></a></div><br />The next couple of weeks felt a bit surreal without many symptoms. Plus this time I had a toddler to chase after and not much spare time to even think about anything else. It was lockdown 2.0 by this point so a good excuse to hide away for a bit and not have to make excuses about not feeling great. <br />Here are some notes I scribbled down from the first few weeks;<br /><br />2-4weeks pregnant; <br /><br />Positive clearblue test. Eyes burning tiredness. Boobs aching, whole chest felt heavy?! Just so so very tired. Oh god pregnancy with a toddler. Suddenly need to wake up around 1am to pee, goodbye sleeping through the night 😂<br /><br />SO thirsty!! Hot. <br /><br />5 weeks; <br /><br />I fainted one morning as I got up. Pretty scary and my head felt fuzzy all day from it. Exhausted every afternoon now. In bed by 8pm! Not excited by food anymore but not feeling sick yet.<br /><br /><br />Each week I took another clearblue weeks test to check that it was going up which thankfully it did to 2-3 and then 3+ which was a nice reassurance thing at that time where you have no idea what's actually happening inside. </div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0CNvDTXgZztlJ8pkBvdyqQfcGJwJgU-tu4ASVsIAA0mugubfqA7dcIChovJPAdpKOZ6EadrrxYPb5gkj9-ulabOaA7TZPun03ntqu7Ovoi4WBF2RNN_jTAm4DDY6y5eduluVldVNF0KM/s1125/IMG_8669.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1092" data-original-width="1125" height="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0CNvDTXgZztlJ8pkBvdyqQfcGJwJgU-tu4ASVsIAA0mugubfqA7dcIChovJPAdpKOZ6EadrrxYPb5gkj9-ulabOaA7TZPun03ntqu7Ovoi4WBF2RNN_jTAm4DDY6y5eduluVldVNF0KM/w640-h622/IMG_8669.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>Around 6 weeks; <br /><br />Then the nausea came. Oh god the nausea, I had it with Freya but looking back it was so mild. This time was the worst I’ve ever felt - I mean across the whole of my life. It was all consuming, went on for weeks and just made me so miserable. There was nothing that I craved. Instead almost everything was a huge aversion. It was so hard having to cook/ think about food for Freya. The fridge, the smell, I didn’t even want to see food on Instagram. If ever there was something that would make me decide 2 children is all we ever dreamed of {and a good reason to not have anymore when I no doubt dream of pregnancy again in the future this feeling is one to remember!}. It was so hard for Ben to know exactly how it felt. Friends who had had similar described it as a constant hangover. What I'd fancy would change from day to day so it was impossible to plan ahead. I’d do a weekly food shop then have to put things in the freezer I couldn’t bare to cook/eat. I normally have a huge sweet tooth but didn’t want chocolate, cake or ice cream. We normally always eat the same dinner together as a family but often I'd get Ben to sort something for them both or go to the chip shop! I normally try to cook a big range of nutritious stuff for Freya but all of a sudden I just didn't want to think about food at all. Sorry little one!<br />Things I had eaten became a gross memory - even those that I used to LOVE. I was never actually sick, although came really close a couple of times but the nausea was awful enough. It would come in waves throughout the day, I tried ginger like everybody says in various forms but nothing helped. Well, eating did but only if I could find something I could stomach which changed each day. I had to go to the our allotment one day just to get out of the house which made me feel sick and then as I came home, cried because I couldn't face going in. Even memories from that time of things we did make me feel sick now. Anyway, I don't want to get OTT about it as I know so many others have it so much worse and I'm so sorry if you're suffering badly/have suffered as it really is so miserable no matter how happy you are to be pregnant. <br /><br />I cried many times. Partly because lockdown was hard and then mixed with feeling like that too. But also because I was so sad not to be able to enjoy this pregnancy so far. This is very likely our last baby and I know just how magical and incredible pregnancy is. Of course I was so happy, beyond happy but miserable from it too. I felt sad I probably wasn’t giving Freya my all anymore. I was a miserable wife! It was a really tough time. But weirdly I was kind of glad for the symptoms too, nausea at this stage can be a good sign your hormones are strong pregnancy wise? {but please don't worry if you don't have this symptom as I just read it's not actually proven! Not sure where I heard it from}</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmWazkgg7no-7rhOifqVsGPy4YsgkPBmmok68jn9NeyCWFOkzorwAJpfe0KipmOheHA9flbONcI_P5T-Nss19hCLw6wdKN3ij7d3pYt29aFUNstzPVZ9z2Fv8cXlum8SzBUxpFjZxUyg4/s1490/IMG_8670.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1490" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmWazkgg7no-7rhOifqVsGPy4YsgkPBmmok68jn9NeyCWFOkzorwAJpfe0KipmOheHA9flbONcI_P5T-Nss19hCLw6wdKN3ij7d3pYt29aFUNstzPVZ9z2Fv8cXlum8SzBUxpFjZxUyg4/w484-h640/IMG_8670.jpg" width="484" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Exhausted, sick but happy. </div><br /><br />I called my GP and had my booking in appointment a bit earlier than last time, this time at 6 weeks I think partly as I didn’t have a date to put down for a last period. It was all so different this time around with the Covid protocols and was done over the phone this time but thankfully with the same, wonderful, midwife I had throughout with F so that was really special. I then went in for booking in bloods/samples and got to see her in real life which was lovely. All of my appointments will be at the hospital this time instead of my GP like before and unfortunately Ben can’t join but obviously that’s understandable to minimise risk. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBgXkI6hU5XMp0B1U1mxDG3b9YQkZ1d9A7uOhOmf4lMkc6sKhO5DgLvjjWZ4dbgOmtOFVMNYYnOhyphenhyphenDplHT4h2wJs6UKVwY3DO-KDzof5kvo10Ibk5fggi-lMLTtApQdf51EVGp4PT4pBQ/s1492/IMG_8659.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1492" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBgXkI6hU5XMp0B1U1mxDG3b9YQkZ1d9A7uOhOmf4lMkc6sKhO5DgLvjjWZ4dbgOmtOFVMNYYnOhyphenhyphenDplHT4h2wJs6UKVwY3DO-KDzof5kvo10Ibk5fggi-lMLTtApQdf51EVGp4PT4pBQ/w482-h640/IMG_8659.jpg" width="482" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>We sent a photo of Freya in this Sister sweatshirt to close family & friends that we wanted to know - regardless of what would happen - to get their support. We'd told them early on with Freya and so it felt even more imperative this time around in case we needed some help with Freya/food drop offs etc. It was funny as my parent's didn't get it straight away and my Brother took lots of nudging on our family Whatsapp group to realise. Ben's Mum got it straight away. And a couple of people thought it meant we knew we were having a girl already until they realised that Sister would mean Freya would be a sister regardless of it being a girl or a boy! It was a shame in a way to tell everyone via WhatsApp but still so nice to have it out in the open and share everybody's excitement with us.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcp31cxQY6ZmrAppNt6VBm31BfCGHjZlNwiWMz0S6q-d-WcjviP4D-_oxKEWENZW2WKwQmqSa2xp90fFErXr-JJ9uy5TxavxYM1bzTJNE2Hsj1DCwwuLPkQhRLOzue1SXpBMSPJyEeS4/s1502/IMG_8668.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1502" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPcp31cxQY6ZmrAppNt6VBm31BfCGHjZlNwiWMz0S6q-d-WcjviP4D-_oxKEWENZW2WKwQmqSa2xp90fFErXr-JJ9uy5TxavxYM1bzTJNE2Hsj1DCwwuLPkQhRLOzue1SXpBMSPJyEeS4/w480-h640/IMG_8668.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">It's been really special to see her be obsessed with babies and dolls since the summer when she found my old doll at my parent's house! I know she's too little to understand what it means but she gives the biggest beaming 'yes' if you ask her if she wants to be a big sister and we can't wait to see her with the new baby in a few months time! Everytime we go out and she sees a buggy she'll shout 'baybeee' and has to give her dolls milk or a dummy or get them dressed. I so hope the age gap is ok jealousy wise and that I'll be able to spread my time enough to the two of them! </div><div><br /><br />7 weeks - </div><div>I booked a private early scan. Partly because I was unsure of exactly how far I was date wise and partly because it feels like such a long wait to 10 or 12 weeks at that time. And also because of that anxiety to make sure things were ok? Despite being lucky to have a healthy pregnancy last time, I felt more anxious this time, maybe because miscarriage is talked about a lot more now - which is definitely a good thing, it shouldn't be taboo in any shape or form and is so important that women can share and not be alone but I guess sometimes you just keep some sad stories you've heard in your head. It was hard to know exactly when to book it for as I really wanted to hear a heartbeat and knew I'd feel anxious if it was too early - I'd be in the same boat as if I hadn't had one! They're not cheap either so it's not like you can keep going back. I took an educated guess and on the way there picked up a shiny, lucky {so I hoped} penny. Ben was allowed to come in for it as long as we both wore masks and had our temperatures checked before going in. It was an internal scan as it was before 9/10 weeks but thankfully we saw what we'd been hoping for - a tiny bean and a beating heart! Hi baby. I had tears rolling down my face, I don't think I'd expected to feel as emotional as I did thinking that we'd been through it all before but actually I realised just how much we love Freya and therefore what this tiny little bean will grow into. It's just so incredible. </div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8RSr7CXlTgkhXco17qpP0w41shOsLdSd3WKGsxDfk9uhP9QxfD6BQkJZf6Lm85J7PzeyoWXsTHNoSrMIGmBIyU1UYXDUNAgjyvfPCszjGq2cfndW525ppSKlCyOmDzosTVZLMsbp1Se4/s1227/IMG_8671.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1227" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8RSr7CXlTgkhXco17qpP0w41shOsLdSd3WKGsxDfk9uhP9QxfD6BQkJZf6Lm85J7PzeyoWXsTHNoSrMIGmBIyU1UYXDUNAgjyvfPCszjGq2cfndW525ppSKlCyOmDzosTVZLMsbp1Se4/w586-h640/IMG_8671.jpg" width="586" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">A blurry little bean sized baby!

Only had a full nights sleep once or maybe twice since finding out. Awake for an hour or 2 almost every night.

It was so much harder this time around not being able to stay in bed past 6am when Freya often wakes up. In the end she got a big treat getting to watch a few episodes of the Baby Club or Hey Duggee in bed with me as I just couldn't face getting up yet. My parents were a huge help one day a week looking after her as part our childcare bubble which meant I could get a bit more rest - I savoured those days so much.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA3vK7hQttKtBUaCtqHBrmBJz7i8mJZM5DG6uukw5xLFXp5GYtELiRjYasziuchjUBPkh8WH7p417W9IKOcSSX8aS36X3dJ3hyt4R3BBdFr84Wh3X0E3ELScVzWuyo0iZR1xH6QWrOcvc/s1492/IMG_8673.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1492" data-original-width="1125" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA3vK7hQttKtBUaCtqHBrmBJz7i8mJZM5DG6uukw5xLFXp5GYtELiRjYasziuchjUBPkh8WH7p417W9IKOcSSX8aS36X3dJ3hyt4R3BBdFr84Wh3X0E3ELScVzWuyo0iZR1xH6QWrOcvc/w301-h400/IMG_8673.jpg" width="301" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">extra cuddles & screen time at this point</div><div><br /></div><div>I tried to exercise when I felt up to it but definitely not as much as last time around. Way too tired and it's harder to find the time with a toddler and motivation with no classes to go to with covid. I've recently discovered The Bump Plan for pilates which I'm loving to try and maintain some core stability and a strong back {especially as I'm hauling a toddler around this time too}. And I'm still running - for mental health benefits more than the fitness side but not sure exactly how long I'll feel able to this time - depends on how far I can go without needing to pee! I just find I'm better exercising if I've had breakfast first now, I get way too hungry if not. <br /><br /><br />9 weeks. Cravings kicked in. THANK GOD. Had a few days feeling better. Less tired, bit more energy. Then did have sickness kick back in again {which although you don't want, when it goes you kind of panic a little as that's really the only way you can tell you're pregnant at this stage!}. This time around all I wanted to eat were cheeselets, ice cold cranberry juice, turkey meatballs and I'd often wake up craving croissants!

Googled it and it's a common pregnancy thing as your blood volume expands and likely why I've been feeling so faint often too - I have low blood pressure at the best of times and often found my body craving salty things I guess to try and counter that? </div><div><br /></div><div>Gagging on vitamins when trying to take them. Reminds me of my first pregnancy.</div><div><br />Counting down to 10 week harmony scan. We decided to book the Harmony Test again like we'd had with Freya and I was keen to find out the gender from it this time earlier than we did with Freya. It includes a scan first before the blood tests and like all scans, I felt nervous in the lead up to it just hoping the baby was growing at the rate they should be and that everything would be ok. It was so weird going into London for the first time properly in months and whilst I'd always been cautious Covid wise - rightly or wrongly I'd never really been that worried before but now I was carrying a baby, suddenly it seemed like something I just really didn't want to have any extra risk of getting so we literally went to the hospital, grabbed lunch & came straight back instead of making a day of it like we would have done normally - especially being toddler free for a rare occasion! And hello baby, it was incredible just how much they grow and develop in these first few weeks, it was so different to the image we'd seen at 6/7 weeks. They moved my due date forward by a few days and we got told that the blood results would be back in 5 working days. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0P704ON5XbDk3QzzCZYEvbFrPWSgx7zmJh4OwB-Y6X-8zsoKzueJ3oGpeZNSOj3uhgx5CqX8e2-mQmrCSq2iLShqPfVev5ouIcpoLZEycJfVf25xNO37qtJGuHYO99DjV3LAd3wGn5fw/s1125/IMG_8679.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1059" data-original-width="1125" height="602" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0P704ON5XbDk3QzzCZYEvbFrPWSgx7zmJh4OwB-Y6X-8zsoKzueJ3oGpeZNSOj3uhgx5CqX8e2-mQmrCSq2iLShqPfVev5ouIcpoLZEycJfVf25xNO37qtJGuHYO99DjV3LAd3wGn5fw/w640-h602/IMG_8679.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>I've had a bump pop out so much quicker this time around than with Freya! Partly from a lot of bloating in the evening for the first couple of months but aside from that, a definite bump too. It's really special to see it pop out and rediscover my maternity clothes from first time around - from about 8 weeks this time I couldn't face my tight jeans or any tight waistband anymore so comfy jumpsuits were much more favourable!

I had my date through for the 12 week scan and a letter which said partner's wouldn't be able to attend. Although slightly disappointed, we felt lucky that Ben had got to experience every appointment and scan with me for Freya and that we'd been fortunate enough to have those two private early scans so accepted it for what it was at this crazy time pandemic wise. But as we got closer to the date, miraculously the NHS guidelines changed in that partners would now be allowed for as much as possible but only if the hospital felt it was safe to do so. So Ben could come to the dating scan after all. We had such a lovely sonographer, she really did make it special and all was well. My due date got moved forward again {which Ben thinks can't be technically right - we know when I ovulated so surely the date moving is only because the baby must be fairly long as we're both tall as he thinks otherwise it was conceived before it was possible to be? He's concerned that when it comes to the actual due date, if I go overdue and get pressured for induction that it could just be the off measurements? Anyway I'll just take the new due date with a pinch of salt and I guess in my head treat the original one as a bit more of an accurate one? But as we all know babies aren't likely to come on their dates and it's just a rough time to plan for anyway! But it was nice to advance - by almost a week now! - in all the apps/for appointments etc}.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjelGputiwBTtwqNR7PXacEYk2WpWmRMgbrvDQQ-lxThcPi1Aw4GafE0s-3hnji82V6-x2ZFoLXEoorbI8ETeqzZD8Zv88-foUXIuilNuzzQ8X815QWVXLipjv1xl7BRVyWAw9_NAYmA1I/s2048/F3DC8CA2-F991-4C66-894D-1024387E7A97.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1638" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjelGputiwBTtwqNR7PXacEYk2WpWmRMgbrvDQQ-lxThcPi1Aw4GafE0s-3hnji82V6-x2ZFoLXEoorbI8ETeqzZD8Zv88-foUXIuilNuzzQ8X815QWVXLipjv1xl7BRVyWAw9_NAYmA1I/w512-h640/F3DC8CA2-F991-4C66-894D-1024387E7A97.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>13 weeks - By this point I was feeling so much better and although had been going to bed around 8pm pretty much every night since finding out I was pregnant, from about 13 weeks I finally started to sleep a lot better so had a lot more energy again. And it was so nice to actually feel really hungry and want to think about food again. Especially over Christmas! I'm still not massively into sweet stuff after dinner anymore which the old me would find alien. And my cravings vary, I don't need my twice or three times daily icy cranberry juice anymore but then sometimes only apple juice will do. Over the last week or so I've been super hungry and needing to go and get a bowl of cereal before I can go to sleep! We had such a lazy Christmas which has been so lovely but it's a bit daunting with this latest lockdown and winter/January ahead trying to entertain a toddler without any classes we can go to. It looks as though most of this pregnancy will be shrouded in ever changing Covid restrictions with appointments over the phone, so very different to the first time. I know how fortunate we are though and to be growing a baby - pandemic or no pandemic really is the greatest gift. I just hope that by the time the summer comes things will look very different for us all. It's so fun to be going through the pregnancy at a similar time to Freya's timeline - not planned at all but great in terms of clothes/knowing roughly what to expect at what stage and I really loved having a summer baby before so it's all we know. But then my Sister in Law is due in just a couple of weeks and I keep thinking how cosy it would be to have a newborn in Winter to snuggle up so obviously anytime is super special. I really hope from now on I can properly enjoy this time, especially if it is our last pregnancy and I'm already sad at how fast it's going this time around whilst also being so excited for all that's to come. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg455GnMUgaShy2lNHCJxaYhPwrFVFEV162mO_6hF3GJAiJTUqlF30yeh0w4Nfk0gfXPddynpYxCqpFnDZlhGVzeYvpgql0gn64l0GJZ3rUao9fUJPLFPqiU0cWBnsGFdGlH-GhCJ8c_2g/s1402/IMG_8681.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1402" data-original-width="1125" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg455GnMUgaShy2lNHCJxaYhPwrFVFEV162mO_6hF3GJAiJTUqlF30yeh0w4Nfk0gfXPddynpYxCqpFnDZlhGVzeYvpgql0gn64l0GJZ3rUao9fUJPLFPqiU0cWBnsGFdGlH-GhCJ8c_2g/w514-h640/IMG_8681.jpg" width="514" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We actually already know the gender already but haven't told anybody yet {luckily Freya's not at the age to spill secrets ha} but I'll save that tale for another day.

There have been parts of my wardrobe I haven't been able to go to, lots of clothes I look at in shops/online and think - nope can't wear that. But as I type this, I've just started reducing Freya's breastfeeding in the day so now she just feeds first thing and then before bed, so it means I can wear whatever I fancy again - and in fact it's been easier if she doesn't have access so I've taken to wearing any 'normal' top again. Breastfeeding has to be one of the most rewarding, incredible things I've ever ever done, and whilst I haven't stopped yet - and hope I can carry on for another few months or so -, our journey is definitely coming to an end and so much less than it was for the past year. One of the things I've loved and learned most from instagram has been all about breastfeeding - and there's a wonderful support community on there of passionate breastfeeding mother's - especially recently with World Breastfeeding Week. And one of the requests I get for posts a lot is if I can share some Feeding Friendly Fashion. So here's a quick post {before I write a no doubt really long post about the rest of our feeding journey sometime soon - you can read my <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2020/01/motherhood-our-breastfeeding-journey.html">first post here</a>} to share a few things I've learned along the way. I didn't want to feel restricted in what I could or couldn't wear, I didn't want to have to buy nursing specific clothing, I wanted to make what I already had work if I could and if I was buying something new, make sure I'd get wear out of it afterwards. And likewise, if I was buying anything new - it had to be feeding friendly as I knew I'd be BF for a while and hope to have a second baby someday who I hope I could breastfeed again too. It becomes quite a good filter for reducing your shopping habits too as in - 'nope, it's not feeding friendly!'.

Mainly for me to look back upon and remember or to send to friends! But it might be useful for any of you with babies coming up to that age too. And just as a reminder, your baby doesn't <i>need</i> any of these things, your baby just needs you and toys/entertainment can be made out of the simplest things or with what you can get passed down from friends/family second hand or found on Facebook market places etc. Whilst I've included all of the toys that have kept Freya entertained, equally half the time she is just as happy/inquisitive with the pots and pans from our kitchen, a cardboard box or basically anything that's not a toy ha. But these are just some things we've loved and used a lot if you were looking for inspiration. </div><div><span style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: Lora; font-size: 15px; text-align: justify;">// contains some ad/affiliate links and gifted items but none were in exchange for this post and all opinions are 100% my own.</span><span class="Apple-converted-space" style="background-color: white; color: #777777; font-family: Lora; font-size: 15px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;"> </span></div><div><br /></div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD8tiPyow9IpEzZz336Wq4n-LA3HzbOajrvrGDf_VrffZkZRrYT396CZyMuw7n9i8DEnVMo6FmqOq7dMTN4JjSiCztmcLysr-LJtnCZOjETAetbPDIQeCebl1YaXQ0lxuK9TiC7zxs01k/s960/118526402_10164260282870338_8455376949332689381_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD8tiPyow9IpEzZz336Wq4n-LA3HzbOajrvrGDf_VrffZkZRrYT396CZyMuw7n9i8DEnVMo6FmqOq7dMTN4JjSiCztmcLysr-LJtnCZOjETAetbPDIQeCebl1YaXQ0lxuK9TiC7zxs01k/s640/118526402_10164260282870338_8455376949332689381_n.jpg" /></a></div><div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Books - </li><li>The '<a href="https://amzn.to/3l2Zb8w">That's Not My'</a> series, our favourites happen to be this <a href="https://amzn.to/2FI2B08">Bee version</a> and this <a href="https://amzn.to/2Yj6A9S">Polar Bear.</a> So cute for them to feel all the textures and not too long for young babies.

We now have two, one lives under the cot and one lives by the buggy/for the car which we switch when they need charging. Lasts for a good few naps and you can charge with a portable charger if needed too.

I ordered one of these in the summer when we needed a 1 tog and thought how clever the design is, it's great for day trips when you want to lift them from the cot to the carseat asleep or vice versa as you can do up the carseat harness through it. It also has feet if you want to keep them in it and they're walking although we haven't really utilised this part of it. </li><li><b><a href="https://bit.ly/2Hit163">Ergo carrier.</a> </b>We've had this since newborn and still use it almost everyday for walks if the buggy isn't suitable or if she wants to be closer to us and I absolutely love wearing her facing out for our little adventures together, these days she chats away! For a while it felt like she was getting too heavy for it but I adjusted it and wore it a bit differently {higher up} and although she is heavy and walking up a hill is a serious workout, it doesn't hurt my back. So reluctant to ever stop wearing her in this - as I type I still wore her yesterday at almost 14 months as she's just starting to take her first steps and walk by herself {but of course can't walk far yet so still needs to be carried}! You can use on your back too but when we tried it a while ago Freya couldn't see out so well so didn't love it but I think for toddlers this gets easier. Side note - We borrowed a back carrier from a family member and we found it to be really hot and pulled too much, but<b> <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTlssagNIk/?igshid=15mnftnqb6xlw">this instagram </a></b><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CBTlssagNIk/?igshid=15mnftnqb6xlw">post</a> has lots of good recommendations for backpacks.</li><li>Sensory toys.

Some of them you need to supervise closely but things like the ribbons and light up balls are daily favourites of Freya's.</li><li>Balls. To roll around, to throw, to try to catch, that light up, that bounce. All big favourites for months and months now. I bought <a href="https://amzn.to/33X9kNC">this</a> at the start of lockdown as a 'I need more toys!' panic and this <a href="https://amzn.to/31Ng5yZ">one has been so well used</a> - I'd go as far as saying it's her favourite followed by <a href="https://amzn.to/3kZ3T74">this </a>.

It's fab for open ended play and should get years of use, so far Freya loves climbing up the slide and has just started climbing down the other side now but also loves to put her teddies down the slide, play with friends on it and you can attach ribbons/a ball run/make a cosy den under it.

We keep them firmly in her cot so that they don't get lost! She plays with them and sucks them as she falls asleep.</li><li>Bath toys, we actually don't have very many bath toys.

I know older children who have played with these for years and years. </li></ul><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir8_efb0rAO2rECIrqmOZxpbMlCFztz8XAhnblfA_7MPk1MZTrhPizakwClrmDWJ277rdYQbt6kLjjSxeST-bF906zghSTpQFkw7iWQ9pbbQbQogZNW48STchhj_QOjHqHZv_5yOu3fJ0/s960/118420425_10164260283365338_8102602425646586583_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir8_efb0rAO2rECIrqmOZxpbMlCFztz8XAhnblfA_7MPk1MZTrhPizakwClrmDWJ277rdYQbt6kLjjSxeST-bF906zghSTpQFkw7iWQ9pbbQbQogZNW48STchhj_QOjHqHZv_5yOu3fJ0/s640/118420425_10164260283365338_8102602425646586583_n.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQM6FQxLIUvWo9wsLJ7KTMJuFIl9BhFEpKUV0OpwUph1RNAvSpb_AFyk4otDIPWNgNPagPa4KX072iD474KLOqG-zwGcY3NN0uvl5Zjke4QLJAqu49JQ2557F7AMP7lvn_508U3LnrKQ/s960/118449427_10164260283330338_2088613676697846697_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiQM6FQxLIUvWo9wsLJ7KTMJuFIl9BhFEpKUV0OpwUph1RNAvSpb_AFyk4otDIPWNgNPagPa4KX072iD474KLOqG-zwGcY3NN0uvl5Zjke4QLJAqu49JQ2557F7AMP7lvn_508U3LnrKQ/s640/118449427_10164260283330338_2088613676697846697_n.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIbT4yCIICvOGjDvXeNSY5-1I7f3XzkL-KRKWYHielEWmWoXHi9Zq4EMuNzB9QPin9rKrSpFlxGCdl5b9brZTKCYu2uJqfZNVAXhAAzmAJ25iWMRvBgaROzc3a8GrKi-IGh7hPcdU5DFk/s960/118492292_10164260283620338_4428027325542604617_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIbT4yCIICvOGjDvXeNSY5-1I7f3XzkL-KRKWYHielEWmWoXHi9Zq4EMuNzB9QPin9rKrSpFlxGCdl5b9brZTKCYu2uJqfZNVAXhAAzmAJ25iWMRvBgaROzc3a8GrKi-IGh7hPcdU5DFk/s640/118492292_10164260283620338_4428027325542604617_n.jpg" /></a></div><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Sand pit, we upcycled a tin bath around Easter time and spent a lot of time in the sandpit during those lockdown weeks.

And last week, we went back there with our now one year old. We just loved that lake so much, it ticked so many holiday boxes for us and I already know we'll go back again. </p><p>We didn't know if we'd get to travel this summer with Covid 19 and if we did - we thought we might drive to France or have a staycation. But when we started looking into it, with my parents who were also up for a trip after our family holiday had been cancelled earlier in June, we realised how expensive the ferry crossings were and how much accommodation was booked up - I guess as August is always a peak time for summer holidays regardless of the pandemic and then from lots of people not wanting to fly. The airbridges got announced and Italy had amazing flights to Milan and some of the lowest rates of infections in Europe. My parents had their trip back in May to Lake Garda cancelled and it was their 30th wedding anniversary which we all wanted to celebrate with them. So we went for it. I know that travel is not for everybody right now and everyone has a very different take on their level of risk during this time, so I'm really not writing this blog to try and justify our decision nor try to encourage anybody to go, a lot of people just wanted to hear about our experience of travel with Freya at this age and take inspiration for the future when everything will hopefully be back to normal? Here are some photos, although they're pretty much the same as last year I think albeit with a super grown up looking toddler?! plus some thoughts... </p><p><i>*this post contains some AD/affiliate links.</i></p><p><span></span></p><a name='more'></a> <p></p><p><u>Details - </u>We flew to Milan with Easyjet and picked up two hire cars. Last time we did it all on public transport as didn't want the hassle of carseats etc, plus Freya hated the car when she was tiny! But this time we hired a car seat from Inter-Rent online and it was all really easy. We rented an Airbnb {<a href="https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/23938187?source_impression_id=p3_1597326266_Xa486Iyd9IlSWVZl">this one</a> - it wasn't the most family friendly with so many stairs! But it was great value, available last minute plus had flexible cancellation up until a few days before which was important to us at this time with so many uncertainties}. It also had two kitchens so was perfect for us being able to do our own thing with my family. The location was amazing. We stayed in Pescheria again, our favourite town to base ourselves in on the lake and then it's really easy to get around - not to mention it has the best gelato shops and ease of two big supermarkets nearby as we wanted to mainly self cater. The only things to note were the stairs as I mentioned, we had to keep the kitchen/bedroom door shut to stop Freya constantly going up them when we were getting ready/cooking and the fact the free car park is a 10 minute walk away which means it's a bit of a long walk with a big shop/or you have to pull up unload it then drop the car back but that's really common not to have parking close by in Europe I guess. </p><p><u>Travel during Covid-19;</u> Italy felt really on top of things, as did Easyjet. It's incredible how so many companies/industries have suddenly had to adapt to this new normal. Masks are mandatory in the airports, any indoor public space/shops/cafes unless you're eating and on the plane, Freya didn't have to wear one as she's too young. There are lots of temperature checks and forms to fill out before you arrive in both Italy and the UK with your details for track/tracing purposes along with hand sanitiser, one way systems and social distancing. Freya had actually had her one year jabs just over a week before we flew and a temperature is a common side effect as the MMR part kicks into their systems, so I had a panicked trip to a mobile testing centre a couple of days before we flew to get us all tested - even though we knew it was from the jabs we just wanted to have that confirmation in case she had a temperature on the day or something - luckily it came back negative and really fast and as it happens she didn't get a temperature on the day anyway but wanted to be safe!</p><p><u>Travelling with a one year old</u>; Freya was such a great little traveller but I'll be honest and say that this was our hardest trip away yet just because of the age that she's at and into everything/not yet walking but wanting to crawl everywhere or be carried and she's so heavy! And we hadn't been away since she was weaning properly so I had to think about meals for her. Of course, all of this is to say that it is such a privilege to be able to travel, but I know other parents will be interested to hear about the realities of travel. Travelling with a newborn/pre 6 months was SO so easy looking back! I think the mantra that most people say is think of it as parenting in another place rather than holidays like you used to know them, but it's so fun and lovely to go somewhere new and make memories and paddle in the lake and not have to worry about the day to day stresses back home. But yes there will still be teething pain with molars coming through! Freya also only really wanted me during that trip so I didn't get the break which I expected with so many of us to entertain her. But still, looking back we have such happy memories from that week and regardless of teething/how hard it is, it's always worth it in the end to get away - for us anyway.</p><p><u>The airport/sleep</u> - I carried her in our Ergo carrier {<a href="https://bit.ly/2Hit163">this one</a>} through the airport so that we could be hands free and I wanted her close to me as she was pretty tired/the airport is a bit of a crazy place if you've woken up early. Our flight was at 7am so we woke her up to leave our house at 4.30am - we booked a taxi who stored our carseat for us whilst we were away {so many things you realise as a parent come back to carseats!} - and we gave her some breakfast at the airport. Luckily the timings then meant she was due a nap and slept on me for some of the flight, I fed her and wrapped a snuggly cardigan around us both. We made this a 3 nap day with the early start, normally she's on 2 naps, and she then slept in the car on the drive from Milan to Pescheria before having a short nap in her buggy later that day and then going to bed at her normal time. </p><p><u>The flight</u> - Previously when we've flown with Freya she was at an age where she'd sit on our laps as she was so small and didn't need much entertaining. This time was a different story but as always, it was so much better than I had prepared myself for. The flight is only 2 hours and she slept for some of it going out, then enjoyed looking out the window/eating snacks/reading books and looking around. On the way home, she miraculously fell asleep on me again after I had to walk to the back of the plane with her in the ergo and white noise playing. I had loaded up my iPad with Hey Duggee and some cBeebies games to play which I thought she would have been more interested in than she was. I think we forget that travel is so exciting to babies and even playing with the seatbelt is a fun toy!</p><p><u>Travel essentials - </u>We took the <a href="https://www.whitestep.co.uk/babyzen/">Babyzen Yo-Yo</a> {ad/PR product last year} which is just such a brilliant invention. It folds up small and pushes like a dream. We've added <a href="https://www.thelittlegreensheep.co.uk/natural-sheepskin-pram-liner/">this sheepskin liner</a> to it to keep her cool in the summer, and <a href="https://www.whitestep.co.uk/babyzen/">this wheel along bag</a> which attaches to the back which was game changing for this trip for schlepping everything out with us each day. </p><p><a href="https://amzn.to/31PeqJ7">This gate buggy bag</a> was amazing for filling with extra nappies/travel high chair/the buggy etc as one of our infant bulky items. </p><p>We couldn't have been without this <a href="https://amzn.to/30QwV0I">snoozeshade</a> for the buggy for making it dark/cutting out the sun for naps, we've used it for over a year now. Just take a peg with you to cover the little window at the top of the yoyo!</p><p>And this trip we also bought this <a href="https://amzn.to/31NdcOP">travel cot snoozeshade</a> as we shared a room with Freya and didn't want to have to stumble around in the dark when she was asleep. It keeps mosquitoes out too. We took a travelcot with us as the other luggage allowance for an infant seat.</p><p>We took our <a href="https://amzn.to/30QvAH7">travel baby monitor</a> with us which worked well in the apartment if we were downstairs when she was napping or the first part of when she'd gone to bed. </p><p>We took a few small travel appropriate toys with us - <a href="https://amzn.to/3gU1lEF">these animal wooden stackers</a> were lovely and even my brother & Ben enjoyed playing with them ha, a ball and a couple of soft toys. But I guess as you know, anything that's not a toy or the stairs is always more appealing than any of the best toys for a one year old! She also loved looking out of the balcony and waving to people which was cute.</p><p>Lake Garda - is really really family friendly. The Italians love a bambino! And every restaurant has high chairs, even the slightly fancy place where you wouldn't imagine that children would be allowed. The food is amazing, we ate out a few times but I prepped snacks and meals for Freya each day {just throwing together easy stuff like spinach gnocchi/beans/tuna/bread/fruit/tomatoes etc to save on any big cooking} so that we always had something balanced for her and ready rather than having to wait in a restaurant. She also wanted a lot more milk last week with that new tooth and I guess the heat too! We love how buggy friendly it is with long paths all around the lake going from town to town with beaches along the way, that's something you don't often get in Europe. </p><p>To get around you can either drive or get the ferry - there are temperature checks and masks compulsory on the ferries. </p><p>We drove to Verona on one of the rainy days, it's just half an hour away and such a beautiful city to wander around. And eat amazing pizza and gelato - Peperino and Venchi. </p><p>Lots of photos as ever below if you're interested! Such a gorgeous week away that we all appreciated more than ever.</p><p>R <3 xx </p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQl3daq6WvkyCa1DKZDDbWB2tHY5fXudEb05OCumnsOuzD1z57GQa5IqaGRYVloEfAGWtA-0YLdXWv3kQ5daDOVNP4wzqQkB55c9-qKVt7OcNhuEVctt0DMMIXRq8MM-wdeToS5cCLD5Q/s960/117845098_10164200647105338_1184233111559559088_n.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em;

Last weekend was an extra special one... we packed a couple of bags and slept somewhere other than our own bed for the first time in months! We had booked a night away at <a href="https://www.sohohouse.com/en-us/houses%2fhigh-road-house" target="_blank">High Road House</a> - a Soho House property in Chiswick for my Birthday at the start of the year and then Covid hit and lockdown happened. The hotel couldn't refund us but we could move our stay so once we heard that things were allowed to open up again, we emailed to get booked in. We then realised that it would be the first time we'd stayed in a hotel since we'd had Freya - our other trips had all been Airbnb's, and whilst I was SO excited to escape our house, and cooking/cleaning up for a night ha, I suddenly wondered if it would actually be very relaxing taking a one year old with us. But it was so much fun and it really was our best weekend in so long. Summer came back and the change of scene for just one night felt more like we'd had a week away somewhere, that lockdown realllly does make you appreciate everything so much more these days. Some notes below on a few things we did to make our stay with a 1 year old a bit easier, and photos from that dreamy weekend if you'd like to see.</div>

<u>Some notes on staying in a hotel with a baby {Freya just turned 1}</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Freya's on 2 naps a day right now, a short one in the morning {that we typically do in her buggy or the car if we're out} and then a longer one in the afternoon for a couple of hours which is normally in her cot. I phoned the hotel to see if there was any chance we could get in early so she could sleep in the room and because of Covid, they have to leave a couple of days in between stays so it worked out that we could indeed get in before her naptime - I don't think I ever realised before becoming a mama at just how much parenthood revolves around naps and timings! - which was perfect. We took a travel cot with us {it was one we bought from an Aldi special buy last year} and set it up in the bathroom {there was a perfect space just by the shower} as it was a dark room which meant we didn't have to sit in darkness for the whole time she was sleeping. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- I wondered how she'd be after only really napping in her cot at home for months, but she fell asleep instantly, so tired from a busy morning around Kew I think! I just took her regular sleeping bag, her favourite comforters and her white noise so to her I guess it was no different. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- I prepared and took food for her in a cool bag with ice blocks. We can eat out wherever but because of her age, anything you buy out tends to have too much salt in and we wouldn't have a kitchen to make anything. So I made some bits in advance and took them with us, she still had a little bit of our pizza but at least I knew she had a proper dinner too. Then she just had some of our breakfast the next day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- I packed some toys and bath toys for her to remind her of home and her favourite books for a bedtime story.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
- Baby wipes. Always more wipes than you think you might need, so useful for everything.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Freya LOVED being somewhere new and was almost hyper at a new bed to bounce around on and room to explore. Although why does she <i>always </i>make a beeline for anything dangerous?! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the end, it was so much more restorative than I ever imagined it would be though. I think by having the bath in the bedroom and the fact we could use the bathroom as a kind of separate room for her, it meant we could relax, watch TV and take a bath whilst she was asleep. At times it felt like the pre Freya us, with the bonus of having her just next door - it's not really possible for us to go away without her right now for a few reasons, mainly as I'm still breastfeeding and also I'm not sure I'd want to? I don't think I ever thought I'd be this attached to her! But I'm so glad we didn't have to miss her or worry. It was the best of both. Although one day we will I guess and that will be heavenly too and we might get to sleep in for longer on Sunday morning and read the papers in bed/not have to rush breakfast ha. But no, it was so lovely to take her with us and she really loved it all too.</div>

Can't beat a freshly bathed baby in a sleepsuit. A new bath to splash around in, stories in a big comfy bed to snuggle and then bedtime.</div>

We had booked tickets for Kew Gardens around a week before our trip once we knew that the weather looked ok and that the indoor palm houses had reopened. I was SO happy to hear that they were allowed to reopen just in time for our trip as these were a big part of why we wanted to visit. We hadn't been to Kew for years, we used to go semi regularly when Ben and I were first together as a picnic/date location through the seasons. But going back now, now that we're really into gardening and all things growing made us appreciate it all so much more. The palm house in particular with all the tropical palms and Banana plants which we've just bought for our deck.</div>

Freya was asleep in the buggy at this point for her first nap which meant we could enjoy the palm house all the more, if you're booking Kew then go first thing as the queue was down the street by the time we left. You have to queue for the indoor houses and it's a one way route through the greenhouses but it was really well managed.</div>

The palm house was more impressive than we remembered but then the waterlily house totally blew our minds. The photo doesn't really show just how huge and impressive the lily pads, and lotus flowers, were. It reminded us of our trips to South East Asia and Bali!</div>

And it wouldn't be a trip to Richmond without a stop at Petersham Nurseries, we were looking for a present for my Grandma but it's also heaven just to browse around! So much inspiration, and they have great food there too in the teahouse, or the more formal restaurant Cafe all in such a pretty greenhouse setting.</div>

The fastest, most incredible year of our lives. Hard at times, for sure, but also more magical than we ever could have imagined. Our sweet funny little Chopsy girl turned one at the start of this month and we couldn't love her more. </div>

Some photos from her party and special weekend a couple of weeks ago that I wanted to have on here and you all know by now how much I love to decorate for a Birthday... I had lots of fun choosing an animal theme with little party hats on as a nod to her favourite Elephant in her room with a crown on.</div>

{including some photos from a gifted shoot by the talented <a href="https://abbiewyattphotography.com/" target="_blank">Abbie Wyatt Photography</a> who I couldn't recommend more, she was just so lovely with Freya and got these special photos of us with Freya that I'll treasure forever, anyone with a baby this age knows how hard it is to get photos of wriggly little bubs! - I donated to both Tommy's & Refuge, two charities that I now donate to in exchange for any gifts/PR samples}</div>

For Freya's Birthday we bought her an Ikea play kitchen and then hacked it to fit in with our style and make it unique.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's the before/how it's sold from Ikea - <a href="https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/duktig-play-kitchen-birch-60319972/">the Duktig which is online here </a>- which is perfectly lovely and obviously any child would love to play with as it is. But I've loved seeing all of the hacks on blogs/instagram for some of the creative upcycling you can do with it to make it your own and fit with your decor scheme. Some people change it so that it's a mini replica of their own kitchen. We thought about doing this, and putting tiles behind the sink for example or a little peg shelf above, or maybe paint it downpipe and fit brass handles. But actually the area that this play kitchen will sit is around the corner from our kitchen, and when I was looking on instagram on the hashtag for all of the hacks and spotted a version like this which I really loved the look of and it would fit in well with our existing shelving toy unit for Freya in this little area. So before I start, this tutorial and inspiration is <i>heavily</i> inspired by both <a href="https://www.kandismarinophotography.com/kandis-marino-photography/2020/1/22/a-modern-inspired-ikea-play-kitchen-make-over">this kitchen</a> tutorial by Kandis Marino Photography and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/raisingfinnandave/?hl=en">this kitchen from the instagram Raisingfinnandave</a> - thank you to those gorgeous creators! They're both based in America so this tutorial shows it from a UK perspective with what we have available here and our version of it.</div>

First up, we got everything out from the box, it comes flat packed, and decided what we'd need to adapt. We built the base unit as standard but didn't fit the back or microwave piece as we wanted the microwave to be freestanding. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make the microwave we put the dowels in place for the sides of the microwave and stood them in the wood. We then marked down the side of this with a pencil so we'd know where to cut. Then we cut down the side with an electric mitre saw.</div>

It was raining on the weekend that we did this so instead of doing it outside, we set up a little spray area in the caravan that we'll be renovating at some point and used it as a spray booth! - although make sure if you do it in a space like this that it's well ventilated and you're wearing a mask.</div>

I'd fallen in love with the look of the rattan/wicker finish on the oven and microwave door so set about trying to find some. I was searching for sheets of cane - but they were all really expensive and hard to get hold of. But then a friend put on Facebook that she was getting rid of a cane style chair {originally from Ikea} and was going to put it in her skip! I rushed to her house to pick it up and as Freya napped, we cut the pieces out. It was meant to be! My Mum also wanted a chair for her greenhouse so luckily we were able to just use the back panel and it's now perfect for her greenhouse so we got two uses out of it. I did feel a bit bad to cut a chair up just for a play kitchen so I'm glad it can still be used and that we could rescue it from getting thrown away. </div>

We used the door as a template for it and cut it out, leaving a gap to be able to staple it to the back of the door. We've left the original plastic in front of it.<br />

We replaced the hob with a wooden version using a piece of pine Ben had around and pinning some curved trim around the outside, we do want to add some round wooden circles on top at some point but for now it's good enough! We fixed it from underneath - teamwork.</div>

Then to sit above the kitchen, we fixed a couple of wooden shelves to the wall. It was so hard to find shelves that we could buy that were the right tone of wood and thickness so in the end Ben made these using a couple of off cuts - the perks of running a building site, and then mounted them to the wall.</div>

To finish off the new play area, I ordered <a href="https://bit.ly/3iptdlu">this round rug </a> to sit underneath it, <a href="https://bit.ly/2BnKqv3">this mirror </a> - annoyingly out of stock </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and then was so thrilled to collaborate with <a href="https://www.prettyinprintart.com/collections/rvk_loves-collection">Pretty in Print Art </a>for the artwork above - you can find the pear and rainbow prints online here along with some other gorgeous ideas - love the alphabet and was SO tempted to try to fit the lemon in too.

I love watching her play with it, she just sits there and finds so much joy in opening and closing her very own cupboards, bashing around the pots and pans and putting things in the sink/swinging the tap around. As her imagination grows then I imagine she'll love pretending to cook and bake with it all and chop up the little vegetables. It's been such a fun project and I love the look of it too.</div>

<br /><br />Hello! Gah, I've been a bad blogger recently - I'm sorry for you long term readers although I'm guessing that you're all mainly on Instagram these days which has kind of taken over?<div>
I'm not sure whether to blame the global pandemic or the fact I have a 10 month old baby who is realllly on the move now {you need eyes in the back of your head at all times when she's awake and then when she naps, I have to try to fit the rest of my life into those little windows} I have battles with myself weekly for my want for writing posts on here, I LOVE this space but equally there’s just no time. Despite the fact that we're in lockdown, or indeed we have been for the past 2 months, there’s been less time than I expected? No sourdough projects over here, just trying to keep a bub entertained! Although we have been loving our garden and allotment growing more than ever. After talking to friends with older children and blogs, they all agreed that in however many years time won’t look back and wished we’d blogged more but would have wanted to just enjoy this time whilst she’s little that we'll never get again. And also I think in this Corona Rollercoaster of emotions it’s just about doing what you can to stay sane, it's such unprecedented times for us all so it's not always a time for striving to achieve all of these wonderfully organised cupboards, it’s sometimes about just keeping afloat. Anyway, I can often still be found spending too much time on Instagram - photos are still my thing - but when I answer things on my stories, or indeed my feed, it can be hard for people to go back to and so I've decided that writing a few posts here and there for things people ask a lot might be easier to reference. This one was requested by a few mama's on Instagram recently, one of which who’s baby is 1 in a week! So it spurred me on to get something online fast. And actually I heard a phrase on a podcast recently re ‘done is better than perfect’ which can often hold people back <br /><br />Anyway enough waffling, on with the first birthday ideas if that’s what you’re here for. And maybe, just maybe, you'll be reading this in the future when corona will be a distant memory and we'll all be thinking 'oh gosh do you remember that crazy time?!'. Let's hope so anyway <3. Sending lots of love to you all! And promise to try to write more posts soon including one for presents for new parents/babies?</div>

<br />//<br /><br /><br /><br />Ok, so Freya will be one at the start of July and although I really don't ever want to wish the time away, I'm SO excited for her birthday. It's been something lovely to think about and focus on during this pretty bleak time, and although we have no idea whether we'll be allowed to celebrate with anyone other than the three of us, I still want to celebrate it and get her a cake/some balloons and decorations because she'll only be one once. That first birthday feels incredibly special, not least because you've kept a baby alive for a whole year! But also because they've changed SO much from being a tiny dependent sleepy newborn to this incredible tiny person! That being said, we all know that babies/one year olds really don’t need anything. Don’t fall down the trap of thinking you must get something big because it's really all for us and not them at this age. <a name='more'></a><br /><br /><br />I want any presents that Freya does get, from us, or kind friends/willing grandparents to be something that she'll get lots of use out of over the years to come rather than something that will be expensive and short lived.<br /><br /><br />Some ideas which we've asked for; {a couple of these are affiliate links but with the exception of the pram/dolls house which were from previous partnerships, it's all stuff I've organically thought of or are buying ourselves FYI}<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />- A big Grimm’s wooden rainbow for lots of creative play over the years. My friend's little boy is almost 2 and uses his almost everyday as an animal slide which is really cute. <a href="https://amzn.to/2X8GQf2">Coloured version here</a> , <a href="https://www.babipur.co.uk/grimms-natural-tunnel.html">natural wood version here</a><br /><a href="https://consciouscraft.uk/collections/natural-toys">This website</a> also has lots of gorgeous Grimm's products and our favourite wooden blocks which would also make gorgeous long lasting presents.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/1257/2223/products/little-green-sheep-teepee-natural-370300_600x.jpg?v=1584687134" /><br /></div>
<div>
- A teepee, I love <a href="https://www.thelittlegreensheep.co.uk/kids-teepee-play-tent-linen/">this one by the Little Greene Sheep</a><a href="https://www.thelittlegreensheep.co.uk/kids-teepee-play-tent-linen/"> </a> - only available for pre-order on their site but my Mum found it on <a href="https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/products/little-green-sheep-teepee-natural-1">Scandiborn here </a>in stock for a bit more money but you then get 10% off as a new customer. Cute for indoors or outside and cosy stories.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />-A Zoo pass or something to look forward to when this is all over for lots of fun days out.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Play kitchen. Ben and I ordered a play kitchen from Ikea the other day and are excited to hack it. There are so many amazing ideas out there for making it your own. I really hope we'll have time to make hers before her Birthday!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />- Bike seat. We bought a front bike seat for Freya the other day - <a href="https://weeride.co.uk/">this one</a> which was recommended by lots of people, I justified as kind of a Birthday present, but one which I know we'll get lots of use from - especially during lockdown and summer. We've been out on it a couple of times so far but she loves it already! </div>
<div>
<br /><img src="https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0005/3713/3114/products/OE-Holdie-House-Front-BG_4175b92b-7730-4ddd-9ba9-980a320ba912_800x.jpg?v=1589430662" /><br />-Olli Ella. I just adore this brand. We already have this <a href="https://amzn.to/2X54Ob3">dolls house</a> - great price right now it's usually more, you can get little dolls/furniture packs for it, and this little <a href="https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/products/olli-ella-piki-basket-natural">picnic basket</a> which she's already been into a lot already - I think she'll love it even more once she understands role play etc. <br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-A paddling pool? The<a href="https://www.mollymeg.com/liewood-m10"> new Liewood range</a> is gorgeous and guaranteed for lots of fun this summer.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Pram stroller. <a href="https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/products/ooh-noo-toy-pram">We have this one.</a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br />- A couple of favourite websites I turn to for shopping for Freya or gifts for friends - Scandiborn, Kidly & Molly Meg.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Balance Bike. Not really for a 1 year old but people asked what Freya would be getting and my mother in law spotted one half price in a sale after Christmas so snapped it up for Freya from Liberty {SUCH a great find}, she’s bought one for all her grandchildren over the years. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Books. Can NEVER have too many for bedtime stories. Julia Donaldson are our favourite to read for the rhyming stories and all children we know seem to love them. <a href="https://amzn.to/3dOz94m">This</a> is already a favourite but would love to ask for <a href="https://amzn.to/2Xa5fk6">Zog</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/3cHo4C5">this one</a><br /></div>
<div>
- Other special books - <a href="https://amzn.to/3cJP8An">This</a> has to be one of the most beautiful, meaningful books ever written. Along with <a href="https://amzn.to/2zbp9n5">Here We Are</a>.</div>
<div>
<br />-<a href="https://amzn.to/2X63BQJ">These schliech animals</a> - or this <a href="https://amzn.to/2X6qofl">set</a> or this <a href="https://amzn.to/2TjL1Ud">set</a> - I don't think you can ever have a collection too big and it's so nice to collect these over time, I also love the look of them on top of Birthday cakes. So much fun for creating little animal tea parties or for messy/washing them kind of play for them as they grow up.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Something for outside like a swing/slide?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
- Climbing thing. These <a href="https://triclimb.co.uk/">tri climbs</a> look amazing and when I spotted them on Instagram I was so tempted until I saw the price. I just don't know if we'd get enough use out of it to justify when hopefully parks etc will reopen at somepoint. They look amazing though, guess it just depends on what your space set up is/what kind of child you have.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Do you have any other ideas? Would love to hear them.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Part two of our trip to Western Australia. {You can see <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2020/03/travel-western-australia-part-one.html">part one around Dunsborough/Margaret River here</a> and <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2020/02/travel-travelling-with-baby-to.html">this post on travel logistics with a baby</a>}. For the last week, we spent our days in Cottesloe - a beach suburb of Perth. It's a place that we'd visited all too briefly on our quick stopover a couple of years ago and really loved so this time enjoyed having more time to properly spend there. It was a bit of a different pace to our first stop which was incredibly relaxed but we really enjoyed being near to a city again and exploring all of the suburbs around Perth. Australia really is such a dream for beaches and brunch spots. There was also Rottnest Island for an epic day trip which was a huge highlight. We really loved Perth and it was the perfect end to our trip. Photos and our favourite spots below... </div>

Cottesloe //<br />
<br />
We stayed in Cottesloe, a leafy upmarket beach suburb with wideeee beautiful tree lined roads, a little bay one side and incredible beach with the best sunsets the other. It has a 'village' centre with a deli/supermarket like <i>no </i>other called the <i>Boatshed</i> - this is a MUST visit to pick up picnic treats or even just browse around. Supermarket wise for the rest of your shopping, Woolworths is across the road in a shopping centre, and then the rest of the village has some really nice shops/coffee shops/a well equipped pharmacy. The houses around the area are totally dreamy, we just kept saying 'can you imagine being lucky enough to live here?!'. There's <i>Vans Cafe </i>and <i>Grilld</i> which are both highly recommended if you're looking for food around the village.<br />

<br />
We rented an airbnb, <a href="https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/12056538">this one</a>, which I'd recommend. It was a really good price for the 6 nights, the owners were super accommodating of us checking in early and they had good baby facilities like a high chair/cot. It was in a perfect location, we searched hard for a good location that we could walk to both the village and beach from, it was around a 15 minute walk straight down across the railway line to the beach, and you could catch the train down to Fremantle or into Perth really easily from here. Cottesloe village was just a 10 minute walk the other way. </div>

// Fremantle<br />
<br />
From Cottesloe, Fremantle was just a fifteen minute drive down the Coast and we ended up here for a couple of days. It has a really cool vibe and is full of trendy shops, restaurants and things going on. One afternoon we even caught a free Aussie rules football game. There were a couple of stand out gelato places {always a seek out of ours!} - <i>Kuld creamery </i>but our ultimate favourite was <i>Swan River Gelato</i>. We didn't visit this time but <i>Little Creatures Brewery </i>is a must as is <i>Bathers</i> beach house and <i>Bread in Common.</i></div>

<i>South Fremantle </i>has a nice feel about it, more of a local/residential vibe rather than Freo itself being a bit more touristy/backpackery? There are a couple of cool cafes, bars and shops worth a wander around here and a beach too. </div>

<i>The Little Bay </i>was a real highlight food wise in such a beautiful beach cafe {it's owned by the people who have just opened Meelup Farmhouse down in Dunsborough} which overlooks Waterman's Bay, a gorgeous beach spot. In fact, that whole coastline is worth a drive along around <i>Scarborough </i>and <i>Trigg. Trigg Island Market </i>was on our list but we ran out of time/brunch days! As was <i>Little H Cafe.</i></div>

Slightly further north still, <i>Hillary's Boat Yard</i> is a shopping/restaurant outlet around a marina and a nice spot. Unfortunately the day we visited there was a rare seafog in! But we were there for the <i>AQAW - Aquarium of Western Australia </i>which Freya LOVED, sensory overload seeing all the fish, coral and lights. It was really well done and Ben and I found it really interesting too looking at all the marine species from around Australia. The shark tunnel was incredible with all the rays, turtles and sharks swimming all around us! </div>

Rottnest Island // Oh <i>Rottnest Island</i>, worth going to Western Australia for alone. I should have almost written a whole blog post on its own about this. But in essence you take a ferry from Fremantle B Shed docks, we booked online with the Rottnest Express - if you book online for a weekday you can take advantage of the Telethon saver deal. There's also another ferry company that operates now, can't remember what they're called but worth a google to see if they're any cheaper. Last time we hired bikes as it's such an amazing island to cycle around for the day. But this time with Freya and the buggy, we walked around to a couple of the beaches. It's an island that you can stay on or just visit for the day, but it has theeee most incredible beaches you could ever dream of. Along with it's famed quokkas - large rodents with really cute faces that everyone loves to get selfies with after the likes of Roger Federer started doing it. There's a little village on the island where we picked up lunch from then you can take your pick of beaches or activities. The water is so crystal clear and incredible. It really is a place like no other, very special indeed. We booked the early ferry to beat the real heat of the day then came back mid afternoon but it would be amazing to stay there for a couple of nights. Make sure you visit the branch of Simmo's ice cream to cool down before you get the ferry back. There's also a beach/pool bar club opened up called Pinky's. Our favourite beaches there = Little Parakeet Bay, Geordie Bay and the Lighthouse beach.<br />

Perth // Perth is such a relaxed city. We loved visiting <i>Kings Park</i> with it's botanic gardens and views across to the CBD, <i>Matilda Bay </i>and food wise would definitely recommend <i>HoodBurger</i> if you want an American style burger {SO like our favourite In n Out from West Coast America} and<i> Chi Cho gelato</i> was *heart eyes*. Lots more<a href="https://www.instagram.com/breakfastinperth/?hl=en"> Perth foodie recommendations on this instagram</a> and<a href="https://perthisok.com/"> this website Perth is OK.</a><br />

All of a sudden, we blinked and those three weeks were up already and we were headed back to the airport. A trip that we'll remember forever and ever. Have you been? Is it on your list?<br />

Gah, Western Australia is just a total dream. We first visited for just five short days, a stop off before an East coast adventure, a couple of years back to visit Ben's uncle and didn't really know much about it. Of course, we fell in love with it and as much as we loved the East Coast, we really regretted not spending more time there. It's a completely different pace to the main touristy parts of Australia that you might think about visiting. We thought of that dream spot in Dunsborough - three hours south of Perth near the Margaret River area - where his uncle is based often, and knew we'd love to return someday. It just had everything you could want from a relaxing holiday spot, miles of the most beautiful beaches we've ever seen yet hardly any people to share them with, on the whole really stable sunny weather with bigggg blue cloudless skies, you don't get the humidity or tropical storms like you do around the rest of the country, incredible vineyards, enough to do without it being overwhelming, amazing brunch spots, quiet roads, free parking, long walks along the coast. Their summer also happens to be our winter so we plotted to return someday pretty much as soon as we boarded the plane from Perth to Sydney! This January we decided to spend three weeks on the West Coast this time and it was one of the best trips we've ever had, to the point where we talked almost daily about how we could get a visa and move there as it was the dreamiest lifestyle ever <strike>{not really Mum, well kind of...}</strike>. I've talked more about the fact we had Freya, who turned 7 months old with us whilst we were there, <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2020/02/travel-travelling-with-baby-to.html">in this post </a>and the logistics of travelling that far with a baby. But wanted to share some details about where we stayed/recommendations in a more classic travelogue in this post for those who aren't into the baby side!...<br />

We flew into Perth via Singapore with Singapore Airlines. We booked the flights with Dial A Flight and couldn't decide whether to do the new direct route with Qantas or to have a stopover. In the end, the price made that decision for us, it was around £1500 cheaper total to go indirect and we stopped for an hour in Singapore which I think was the right decision to stretch our legs/break up the journey and ended up being pretty good in beating jetlag as we got ourselves onto Australian time when we landed in Singapore. The flight was so much better than we expected and although bleary eyed when we arrived in Perth and still had a three hour drive to go, we were just SO happy to be there and excited to get going. I'd definitely recommend Singapore Airlines, they were really great, had hefty luggage allowance for economy {30kg included each plus infant allowance! rare these days?!} and considering how far away it was - around 18 hours - it was relatively comfortable and we didn't really suffer from jet lag. It sounds so far away but in reality, all felt like such a smooth trip!<br />

We booked a car through<i> NoBirds </i>- on our research they seemed to be the best priced and had good reviews for the West Coast and then took the drive down south, arriving just as the sunset. Car hire is relatively expensive in Australia compared to the US or Europe, I think it's because the distances to cover are so big? For three weeks it worked out around £400 but everything else {like supermarket food and eating out} felt comparable, or slightly cheaper than home. The roads were really easy, we were both named on the car so we could share the driving and as it's the same side as the UK, we found it easy.<br />

We booked an Airbnb - <a href="https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/22282680?source_impression_id=p3_1583520619_qHm%2BrgnQo7NVQWPr">THIS ONE</a> {<i>and <a href="https://www.airbnb.co.uk/c/rebeccak177?currency=GBP">you can get for over £30 off your first airbnb trip anywhere in the world if you sign up here</a> - which means I'll then get £15 of credit</i>} for two weeks in Dunsborough, our favourite town from our visit before and also where Ben's Uncle lives, just after the Australian school holidays - if you go over Christmas/the start of January you'll find higher prices and everywhere a lot busier, so we waited for the end of January. Going somewhere that you've been before I think makes choosing accommodation so much easier as you know exactly where you want to be? We lucked out on this dreamy white washed beach house with a wraparound verandah, the style really gorgeous but most importantly, it was right on the beach path so we knew we could walk up to the town, supermarket and have the beach right opposite the house which would be amazing for Freya if she was asleep in the buggy/we wouldn't have to always go out in the car. It was totally gorgeous, well equipped and had a beautiful garden for enjoying in the evenings/if she was asleep in the cot in the day. Would definitely recommend, we'd love to go back in a few years with my parents.<br />

It was right on the beach path so we'd walk this every morning, going along to the Silver Bullet coffee van for our favourite bit of beach by the shark net. The morning light there is just so beautiful and I love seeing so many people out on their bikes/running/walking/having just a towel with them for a morning swim. It really did feel so incredible leaving bleak, cold winter and arriving to summer and seeing all the tropical flowers, palm trees and hearing all the different birds. Then, in the evenings, being able to walk across the road to the beach in between dinner time/Freya's bath & bedtime or go for a BBQ dinner and swim was just the total dream. Can you tell that I'm missing those days so much already?!<br />

We had two weeks in Dunsborough which to some would have been too long, it's a fairly quiet town but to us it was the perfect break we'd been craving. We love this new style of travel where you can pretend you live somewhere in a way rather than trying to cram every sight in like some of our previous trips? Especially with having Freya, it just felt like such a treat to be parenting somewhere warm. We'd go for half days out, there are countless beaches within a fifteen minute drive and then the Margaret River vineyard area as you go further South, stopping for lunch somewhere on the way back and an ice cream. There are nice towns to visit, realllly really great food - as well as the wine production there's also cheese and chocolate factories, and of course Australians take brunch super seriously. We joked that Australia pretty much equals beaches and brunches?<br />
<br />
It's almost hard to describe why we find this area so special, and I almost don't want to?! I mean, the photos do most of the talking. But it just has this feel about it, something that draws us in. I have SUCH happy memories from those two weeks that we spent there.<br />
<br />
Here are some of our favourite spots that we'd really recommend if you're visiting....<br />
<br />
// Dunsborough Town - has a <i>Coles</i> supermarket, a gorgeous <i>beach path</i> running all the way along the coast, dream shops {although £££, I spied a kaftan that worked out to be £400?!!!} so definitely just window browsing for us, art galleries - <i>Christian Fletcher's</i> photography work of the coast is amazing, and if you're looking for food - <i>Merchant and Maker,</i> <i>Yallingup Coffee</i>, <i>Wild & Woods</i> are our favourite. There's also a cool new Bao bun hotdog/softserve place which has just opened called <i>Snatch </i>and we liked <i>Squid Lips </i>for a take-out dinner.<br />

// And just outside Dunsborough you can't miss <i>Simmo's ice cream </i>{millions of flavours, really really delicious, we'd go here most days!}, <i>Yallingup Wood Fired Bread</i> {a cool bakery run by surfers in the middle of nowhere serving up fresh sourdough and fruit loaf every afternoon}.<br />

// Beach wise, our favourites are <i>Eagle Bay</i>, <i>Meelup</i>, <i>Castle Rock</i>, <i>Bunker Bay {which has an excellent restaurant on the beach in the photo above}</i> and <i>Yallingup</i>. It's a really unique spot in that you have the calm waters of Geographe Bay and the Indian Ocean on one side and then the other is more surfy. I honestly don't think we've ever seen more beautiful beaches?! With the rocks they reminded us of the Seychelles in parts. They all have free car parks and most have BBQ spots overlooking the beach. The only annoying thing is how windy it can be on this side, Ben's Uncle jokes that WA actually stands for Windy As. And the sun is <i>really </i>strong so take a good umbrella for shade as there are none for rent like you get in parts of Europe. We also downloaded the Shark App called Dorsal which is fascinating to keep track of the shark sightings, you'll see the helicopter going over twice a day looking for them eek!<br />

// <i>Meelup Farmhouse</i> and <i>Eagle Bay brewery</i> are other really gorgeous, unmissable spots for food around Dunsborough. Meelup Farmhouse had just opened and reminded us of a cross between Daylesford and an Australian White Company? LOVE.<br />

<u>// Furth</u>er South, <i>Hamelin Bay</i> is incredible and worth the drive {you drive down through the Boranup forest which is amazing in itself} and as well as the crystal clear water and best sand, there are huge sting rays which come right to the shore in the mornings especially, <i>Margaret River town</i> is nice for a wander - <i>River Smith</i> is the best coffee place and there's also nice shops which don't cost the earth for that gorgeous Aussie style of fashion and <i>Miller's ice cream</i> is worth a stop. There's also a <i>farmers market </i>on every Saturday which we loved.<br />

// The vineyards are all spectacular and worth a visit for the food alone. They're almost like art galleries in that they're all so different design wise and have really beautiful vistas and lakes and gardens. <i>Amelia Park</i> is James Bond like in style, <i>Swings and Roundabouts</i> had delicious pizza and cool swing seats to eat outside on, <i>Aravina</i> has incredible hydrangeas and a cool surf gallery, <i>Leeuwin</i> is a classic if you're into wine and <i>Voyager Estate</i> has a South African feel and beautiful rose gardens. They're mostly on one long road so you can stop on and off, or book a wine tour bus if you don't want to drive and sample all the wine.<br />
<br />
And then there's <i>Gabriel's chocolate</i> - their cookies are insane.<br />
<br />
// Around half an hour north is <i>Busselton</i>, with a really long <i>pier</i> {the most westerly point of Australia, it's really impressive}, excellent beach, <i>Hummingbird Cafe</i>, nice bakeries, a water splash park for children and a really nice feel. This is probably the biggest town down this way so has all the amenities you'd want. We wished we'd spent more time around Busselton. Next time!<br />

Apps! Gosh they've revolutionised life right?! From doing the food shop without leaving the house to not having to use old school maps to photo editing to baby tracking to creating playlists, I certainly couldn't be without my phone and apps for everyday living these days. I'm always interested in what apps people use so put together this very quick blog post with my favourites...<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
{I haven't linked any of these as I'm not sure which phone system/app store you use, I'm an Apple girl so these are all on the iOS app store but I'm assuming most will be multi platform?}<br />
<br />
<i>Photo Related...</i><br />
<br />
Google Photos // The best photo back up app, this gives you a lot of free storage and categorises your photos by place/people/things so they're easily searchable. I've ended up paying for extra storage per year but it's still not much for that peace of mind knowing your photos/videos are backed up. I tend to put this on every few days overnight and it will back everything up overnight. Can't recommend this more! <i>free but you might want to pay for extra storage if needed</i><br />
<br />
Instagram // Obviously! I use this for social networking both personally and as a huge part of my job but also editing all my photos and using the story fun effects/filters/boomerangs. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
Unfold // For creating a set of coherent stories with nice text/frames/titles, gives creative templates to use. You can buy extra creative packs in the app. <i>free with add on purchases</i><br />
<br />
Snapseed // I don't use this often but it's got some good photo editing features. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
Snapfish // For printing photos from your phone easily, gives you free prints each month too. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
<i>Baby Related..</i><br />
<br />
British Red Cross First Aid // I've put this on my homepage for a quick reference for infant first aid which also works when offline with videos for fast access. I downloaded this specifically because I was worried about choking with weaning but it also covers lots of other things too like burns/cuts. There is an adult version of the app too which is worth having for up to date medical advice. <i>free </i><br />
<br />
Glow // I used this for tracking my cycles each month when we were trying for a baby, it highlights when it predicts ovulation will be and then your period and you can log your different symptoms throughout the month to see if you notice patterns and it can even analyse photos of ovulation sticks to tell you how likely it is! Super clever. My periods haven't come back yet since having Freya as I'm still breastfeeding but I'll definitely use this again when they do, not for trying to conceive but just to track cycles. <i>free </i><br />
<br />
Ovia Pregnancy/Pregnancy Plus // Pregnancy app trackers to easily keep up to date with how many weeks you are/how long there is to go plus it gives you little snippets of info each day/week and that all important 'baby is the size of a ...' this week. I loved seeing the 3d scan photo of what your baby would look like in the womb at each stage too. I used both of these. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
The Wonder Weeks // I think I paid a couple of pounds for this when Freya was born but it was definitely worth it as it tells you about when your baby is likely to go through a development leap and what that means for them. It's been crazily accurate for Freya, reassuring and educating. <i>paid.</i><br />
<br />
Huckleberry // We use this every day for tracking Freya's naps and finding out the next 'sweet spot' for when she should go to sleep next. Prevents overtiredness and has always been so spot on for us. There are other things to track on there but we've only used it for sleep. <i>Free, does have a premium version with personalised advice but we just use the free one.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Kinedu // Thousands of age-appropriate activity ideas for your baby to help develop their skills and personalised questionnaires about what they can/can't do to personalise the app for you - I find it interesting to click through and tick what she can/can't do and it gives a typical age that this should be achieved by. Not in a 'your baby should be able to do this' kind of way, but I just have no idea about what is typical for a baby at different ages. You have to subscribe to get the most out of this app, we just have the free version but still some good ideas. <i>free but best to subscribe.</i><br />
<br />
Hoop - what's on for families // An easy way to find local activites and book classes for babies/children. I wish all baby classes were on here! <i>free</i><br />
<br />
One Second Everyday // An app which collates videos with 1 second from everyday. We're using it to record Freya's first year. It's so easy to use and I've paid for the premium version, around £20 a year, so as to back up the videos and you can add an extra clip/second if needed plus add music at the end of it. So in love with this app and this little creative project which will form a huge part of our documenting of Freya's special early years. <i>free but worth paying for premium</i><br />
<br />
<i>Other...</i><br />
<br />
Doodle // A poll creating app for coordinating diaries easily with big Whatsapp groups to easily look at everybody's availability and choose a day which the majority can do. You can also use it to decide on options for things too! Makes organising things so much easier than millions of messages/dates flying backwards and forwards. <i>free</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Hive // being able to schedule or turn on/off our heating from our phone has made such a difference as our days are different everyday so it didn't suit us to have a set time on our heating system. Love this.<br />
<br />
Youtube // I use this for workout videos a couple of times a week. Obviously there's videos on pretty much everything on there. <i>free </i>but you can pay for an ad-free/download version.<br />
<br />
Spotify // My family and I have a family subscription to Spotify which I love for being able to download playlists offline and listen ad-free. I use it for running and listening to music around the house almost everyday. <i>free but with ads/limited features.</i><br />
<br />
Podcasts // SO many great podcasts to listen to these days. Most of mine are parent based but there's a podcast for pretty much every topic. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
Just Park // For booking parking in advance in cities which often works out a lot cheaper. <i>free </i><br />
<br />
Easyjet // Clever app for searching for/booking short haul flights and then checking in online/issuing boarding passes. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
Uber // Probably needs no explanation. Although I hardly use Uber these days, occasionally when we're in America but when I do use it, it's still so great? <i>free</i><br />
<br />
Class Pass // Love using this when we go away for attending/booking exercise classes in cities around the world. <i>subscription, can get free trial with credits.</i><br />
<br />
Ocado // I can't believe I've only just started using this app but it's been totally game changing since having Freya for not having to go to the supermarket. I used to get Sainsbury's online deliveries semi regularly but their website isn't a patch on Ocado's app. Particularly love the one click option to add something quickly when you've checked out. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
Google Maps // We use google maps for so many things, the most obvious being directions for both driving & walking but also for zooming in on parking street signs when trying to see if you can park in a road at a set time and also for google reviews/opening hours of restaurants/cafes. I also like the part where you google map directions and then click search to add a stop in, it will tell you how long the de-tour is. We often use this for finding petrol or if we have a burning desire to stop somewhere like a chain in America to find the best option when on a road trip. <i>free, worth signing in with a free google account though.</i><br />
<br />
Waze // Similar to google maps which I also use A LOT but this has a clever feature where you can put in where you want to go and it will tell you what time to leave in the future based on traffic predictions. Also will tell you live traffic and the fastest route home.<i> free</i><br />
<br />
Hopper // My friend raves about this app and although I haven't actually used it yet, it looks so great for alerting you to when flights will be cheapest and tells you when is a good time to book. I think you put your dates and destination in and it will tell you if prices are steady/likely to go up or down. Will definitely use when we need long-haul flights next. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
Airbnb // Travel for us has been totally revolutionised by Airbnb. I've written <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2019/03/travel-tips-for-using-airbnb-and-our.html">more about our experience & tips in this blog post.</a> <i>free</i><br />
<br />
Deliciously Ella // I only started subscribing to this app at the start of this year and have already used it for so many delicious recipes. I'm a huge Deliciously Ella fan and even though I have the books, it's nice to have lots of recipes in one place on your phone and there are lots which are app only. There's also yoga on it but I haven't used that part. <i>subscription</i><br />
<br />
Houzz // I often think this is better than Pinterest when looking for garden/house project inspiration. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
Pinterest // I rarely go on pinterest these days but have spent hours on it in the past, especially when we planned our wedding! Inspiration for almost everything and so great visually for creating digital pin boards. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
Zara & H&M // I don't have many shopping apps but if I'm ever doing a Zara or H&M order I'll always do it on the app over the browser. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
BBC Weather // I'm forever checking the weather although it's not always that accurate?! But yes, check this multiple times per day. Any better weather apps though please hit me up. <i>free</i><br />
<br />
Google Translate // Genius app for taking photos of menus/signs in another language and it will translate it for you. <i>free</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>Plus whatsapp/facebook/facebook messenger.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
Would love to hear if I'm missing any that will revolutionise something?!<br />

Hi! We recently took a three week trip to Western Australia and it was the best three weeks of parenting we've experienced so far. In fact, I kind of try not to think about it too much now that we're home, save for when we bump into people we know who ask how it was and for a brief moment, I'm transported rightttt back there to those beachy happy days, because it's pretty much poured with rain ever since we've been home. And parenting on my own {during the week anyway}, when it's cold and Freya has to wear loads of layers again, is not a patch on that Australian life I can tell you! If I thought about it too much, I'd have wondered why we ever had to come home {although that's obvious, visas, work was calling, not enough money to rent for any longer out there}. But yes, it was a total dream. We booked the trip before Freya arrived, which is probably a good thing as I was a little nervous running up to it wondering how she'd be on the flight, would it disrupt her {and consequently our} sleep for weeks? The first question anyone asks us is 'how was Freya on the flight?!' since it is such a long way. But it was all so much better than I imagined it would be. This post, with a few questions, has been requested by lots of you on instagram who have some long haul travel coming up, so here are my thoughts on things that were helpful/what we did in regards to travelling that far and being out in Australia with a 6/7 month old baby. Full travelogue coming soon for those of you who aren't interested in this side of things! <i>*ad/contains affiliate links and the buggy was gifted.*</i><br />

<br />
First up, the flight...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>We booked flights from London to Perth with Dial A Flight {for trips that are long haul self catering - in need of flights/car only we’ve used dial a flight for over 10 years and they’ve always got us really great deals. I highly recommend Stuart, he’s just such a nice guy who always gets us great deals and will call a few days before your trip to make sure everything’s ok. It’s really nice to have a travel agent contact rather than booking flights directly with an airline, he also made sure we had a bassinet etc, if you want his number let me know as he works in the corporate part now}. We weren’t picky with airlines, just wanting the best deal price wise and best flight times which in the end worked out to be Singapore Air - luckily for us as they were SO amazing with babies/children. Couldn't fault them at all. </li>
<li>The flight was long, as expected, but Freya was amazing. We took both our ergo carrier and the baby zen yo-yo pushchair with us to the airport/on the plane. The baby zen was game changing now that she'll nap in a buggy, we bought a snooze shade to make it black out and put her white noise mp3 in it and she napped happily at the airport in London, then we used the ergo through Singapore when she was a bit disorientated as it was the middle of the night and wanted to be close to me. We basically used the ergo when she was awake for travel, and the buggy for naps. </li>
<li>I was apprehensive about how she’d be on the plane, our first two trips with her were a lot shorter distance wise and also she was a lot smaller then only really needing milk and cuddles! But she amazed us and whereas at home she wants to be on the go/rolling around all the time, she did sit on our laps for a lot longer on the plane and we gave her some floor space to kick around on top of an airline blanket - the bonus to having a bassinet seat = extra legroom. I’d definitely recommend a teething necklace if your little one is likely to be teething, it kept Freya occupied for ages both chomping it and playing with it. I used <a href="https://amzn.to/39asTSm">this one.</a> </li>
<li>We took some toys and books with us but actually used a lot less than we thought, partly because she slept for a lot of it, plus there were screens with cartoons on that although we don't let her watch at home, were a good distraction and we let her roll around by our feet with some toys and did some walking around the cabin for a change of scene. Other passengers were really nice keeping her entertained with smiles for a bit too - everything is interesting to babies at this age, the remote thing for changing the channel, the menu card, teething toys.</li>
<li>We packed 3 change of clothes, tonnes of nappies and a change of clothes for us just in case. I'm still breastfeeding so that made feeding really easy, she actually fed a lot more on the flight than she would at home. <span class="Apple-converted-space" style="color: #454545; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;"> </span></li>
<li>The snooze shade was great for the bassinet to keep the harsh cabin light off at times we wanted her to sleep, it’s breathable but we obviously made sure it was raised up away from her head. We had her favourite toys packed but the best distractions ended up being food pouches to feed her, we packed a bib and spoon, and organix pea crisps to munch! She took her naps at the same time as she would back home then we faked a little bath with some water by the sink in the toilet and got her changed into a new sleepsuit and her sleeping bag at the time she’d go to bed and she thought it was nighttime. The only thing was that we couldn’t sleep well, with a bassinet you’re sat next to another bassinet so even if your baby is asleep, it’s not guaranteed the one next to you will be and I feel like since having a baby I’m hyper aware of noise now? Biologically designed to hear a baby crying I guess!<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="color: #454545; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;"> </span>Anyway, the flight was as good as it could have been with a small baby and the staff all really lovely.<span class="Apple-converted-space" style="color: #454545; font-family: "helvetica"; font-size: 12px;"> </span></li>
<li>When we changed at Singapore we woke her up, it was the middle of the night UK time but morning Australia time so this ended up being really helpful for getting her onto the right time zone and from then on we just let her have naps rather than thinking it was nighttime again. It meant she had a short night/a long day but it worked out really well. It's definitely worth switching onto your new timezone as quickly as you can. When we landed in Australia we had a 3 hour drive to Dunsborough where we were staying and arrived at bedtime Aus time so we gave her a bath and put her to bed as soon as we arrived, she then was on the right time zone give or take! Remember that with jet lag, the light/dark can play a big part in creating natural melatonin so if you want them to stay awake, going outside in the daylight will help and likewise, keeping things dark for bedtime should help.</li>
<li>We learnt on the way out that we should have requested a post weaning meal for Freya, so we logged on in Australia and requested a meal for her which was great for the journey home now that she is eating more. With an infant under 2 they assume you don't want a meal for them unless you request one in advance. I'm assuming this is true of all airlines?</li>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<li>Definitely request a bassinet so that you can put them down when they're asleep, although Freya was pretty snug in hers so I guess on future trips she'll have to share our seat? And remember that with bassinets you have to lift them out if there's any turbulence/can't use them when the seatbelt sign is on so it could be frustrating if this wakes them up. Freya loves to sleep on her tummy so was a bit disorientated being in a bassinet but still slept fairly well considering. </li>
<li>Coming home was a little bit more stressful than going out as it was a night flight so we were very aware that everyone around us was asleep. This meant that when she woke up in her bassinet, whereas at home we'd ssh her back to sleep and she might cry for a couple of minutes, we didn't want her to do this because it would be really loud to everyone trying to sleep! So it did mean she didn't then go back to sleep, and we were all awake from 2am UK time trying to entertain her through the night. I eventually got her back to sleep by feeding her to sleep and kept her on me. It was a little bit stressful but just part of travel with a baby I guess.</li>
<li><br /></li>
</ul>
The jet lag/time difference...<br />
<ul>
<li>We set a travel cot up in our Airbnb and did the same bath/bed routine as we do back home and so thankfully she slept until around 5am Australian time, we were up at that time with jet lag and the light morning anyway, so we put her in her buggy for a morning walk with the shade down and she fell back to sleep. For a couple of mornings we did this when she woke too early, and she'd take 2 1/2 hour naps to catch up on sleep for the first couple of days - heaven for us as it meant we could have some time relaxing, but after that she was on normal Australian time. </li>
<li>I think because we have a system of naps and use the huckleberry app for her next nap time rather than a strict set time routine, she adapted a lot quicker as she doesn't have a set bedtime at home. We just shifted the naps to fit. So e.g. she woke up at 5am australian time, we logged this in the app and it would tell us when to do her next nap so it went with her timings rather than trying to unnaturally force her body clock into sleeping at the wrong time {although for the first few days she beat these timings and often slept before because she was playing catchup from that short night flying}.</li>
<li>On the way home, we had a night flight from Australia so put her to bed and she slept for around 6 hours of it, we then just kept her napping through the day until it was bedtime UK time at home and did the usual routine again. She did wake at around 3am so I gave her some playtime/feeding in our bed before she was tired and went back. I do think babies adapt so much quicker than we do because they have naps? and a simpler body clock perhaps?</li>
</ul>
<br />
On hiring a car & carseat...<br />
<ul>
<li>We thought about buying a carseat to take with us on future trips but on researching the regulations, found that almost every country has different requirements! So there isn't one universal type that you could take with you as they all fit differently in different countries. Australia are super hot on stuff like this and you have to anchor the carseat to the back of the seat. </li>
<li>So in the end we hired one, and found a rental place that had a fixed fee for carseat hire compared to some which really added up given we would be there for 21 days. The company was called Nobirds and we just reserved it online. They helped us fit it. It's definitely worth looking into the cost of hiring if you're away for a few weeks as often it can be more than buying one outright which is crazy when you think about it.</li>
</ul>
On weaning...<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Freya had started weaning around a month before we went away and was just about onto three meals by the time we went away so I was keen to keep this going whilst we were away.</li>
<li>I messaged Ben's uncle before we went to get him to take a photo of the baby aisle in the local supermarket in Australia so I could see what kind of range they had. We try to give Freya what we're having most of the time but it was definitely handy to buy a few savoury pouches out there and little snack things. I didn't know what the rules were on taking food in, Australia have strict customs rules with things like meat {in some of her savoury pouches} and I didn't want to end up on that nothing to declare tv show ha. They had a really great range though of organic pouches, so we bought some of these and then mainly just cooked like we would do at home because we were self-catering in the airbnbs. Her favourite food is avocado and they grow SO well out in Aus so we got through LOADS! We also bought porridge out there, berries and ingredients to make lots of yummy lunches and dinners. We discovered chia pudding which fast became our new obsession.</li>
<li>I packed a set of little Ikea bowls out with me, a set of spoons, her cup, a packet of baby pasta stars and a couple of bibs which were all really handy to have with us. The airbnb had lots of tupperware which we used a lot for storing food we'd prepared for her in the fridge/taking out with us/keeping for another day.</li>
<li>The first airbnb didn't have a high chair so we took a fold up travel one with us - <a href="https://amzn.to/2PBzmOD">this one</a> - {luckily had lots of luggage allowance with singapore air economy, 30kg each plus baby equipment} which we strapped to a chair, then the second one had an ikea high chair.</li>
</ul>
On things we packed which were helpful...<br />
<ul>
<li>The <a href="https://amzn.to/381slwY">snoozeshade</a>, a breathable, blackout, UV cover, we used this everyday for both covering the buggy with for naps but also for draping across to the buggy parasol for extra shade depending on which way we were walking/where the sun was. </li>
<li>A clothes peg to clip the snoozeshade over the clear cover on the top of the buggy to stop the light getting through.</li>
<li>The<a href="https://www.babyzen.com/en/yoyo-plus"> baby-zen yoyo,</a> can't talk highly enough about this travel buggy - it was AD/gifted to us but not in exchange for this post, so lightweight for getting in and out of the car/lifting onto the beach, folds up into overhead locker size, easy to push. We used it everyday out there and she loved being in it and loved sleeping in it with the snoozeshade and white noise. The only thing is that the seat part, not the newborn bassinet attachment, faces outwards so I did miss seeing her face, but she loved looking out.</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>The <a href="https://www.mamasandpapas.com/en-gb/babyzen-yoyo-parasol-taupe/p/596372200">baby-zen yoyo paraso</a>l, this was great for bending and angling into the right position to keep the sun off, and you can change which side you put it on the pram/slide it along. Although Freya ended up pulling it towards her and wanting to chomp on it, one child laughed one day and pointed 'that baby is eating her umbrella' ha. But yes, really handy.</li>
<li>A sheepskin pram liner, to keep her cool even when it was really hot - this made such a difference. We have <a href="https://www.thelittlegreensheep.co.uk/natural-sheepskin-pram-liner/">this one</a> which was a better price than a lot I'd seen and really nice quality.</li>
<li>A portable mp3 player with crashing waves white noise on</li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/2PBzmOD">A travel high chair</a></li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/3cgFllH">These blackout portable blinds</a>, borrowed from a friend but we're going to buy some, for making it darker in a bedroom for cot naps/darker mornings or evenings if it's light.</li>
<li>Washing supplies, both airbnb's had a washing machine</li>
<li>A thermometer - both for her room and the bath. </li>
<li>Medicine and a thermometer to check her temperature just in case! Plus teething supplies.</li>
<li>Sun hats. </li>
<li>A proper UV, tiltable parasol for the beach. I ordered this before our trip to my husband's uncle who lives in Australia, it's a fancy brand {sunday supply} that I've loved and admired for ages so we used it everyday out there but have bought it home for use in the garden on our deck this summer. Thank you extra luggage allowance with a baby! We also took a fold up tent with us for the beach but found it was pretty hot inside so ended up just using the parasol. But for short-haul european hand luggage only trips in future we'd probably take the tent as it was so portable.</li>
<li>A big light weight blanket to then put our towels on top of to try to minimise sand/give extra floor coverage on the beach or when out on the grass.</li>
<li>Having an airbnb made it feel like home from home and we set up her travel high chair/a rug with her favourite toys on.</li>
<li>It was SO lovely to see her chubby, bare legs and little feet out, we'd been used to covering her up for winter back home. I'd kept an eye out for sales on summery clothing for her age range at the end of last year because I didn't want to buy lots of clothes that she then wouldn't get wear out of back home after. Mostly her rompers are as such that can be layered up, or I bought in the size up which still worked size wise for her now but so she can get some wear out of them come the springtime back home. </li>
<li>Singapore Air are generous with their luggage allowance, and we had a car at the other end so whilst we didn't want to take too much with us, it was handy to not have to be totally ruthless about packing light to make sure we had everything we needed. But having a washing machine makes a huge difference whilst away to the amount of clothes we needed to pack.</li>
<li>We took a travel cot with us and 1 tog sleeping bags.</li>

<br /></div>
<br />
<ul>
<li>A couple of things though which we didn't pack but I definitely would for the next time we go somewhere hot would be a buggy fan {<a href="https://amzn.to/39bQja0">like this one with good reviews</a>}, car sun shade nets for the windows, dishwasher tablets {lol} and a carabiner buggy clip for ease of carrying things on the buggy.</li>
<li>Also, I wish we'd known about this <a href="https://www.beachpowder.co.uk/buy">Beach Powder</a> for getting sand off. Some people recommend baby powder, if you can find one that's talc free? But this beach powder sounds even better. We ended up using a dry muslin to brush sand off but I want to try the powder next time we go to the beach.</li>
</ul>
On beach days...<br />
<br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>Freya LOVED the sand, and I love the beach and being by the sea so we spent a lot of our time at the beach under the shade of the umbrella. Mostly she would nap on the beach in her buggy and then have some awake time on the sand.</li>
<li>We took her swimming for the first time out there and going for a dip in between dinner and bathtime is one of my happiest memories from that dream trip!</li>
<li>We didn't take or use any swim nappies as we were in the sea and just took her nappy off when we got her into a UV swimsuit {and we knew she wouldn't poop for a quick swim!} but on future trips if we're in a swimming pool we'll have to get some. I'm hoping there are reusable options?</li>
<li>We made sure that we timed going out around her naps and didn't have to wake her to go out/get in the car. This worked well most of the time as we could walk to a lot of places from our airbnb so we did a mix of buggy and cot naps if we were home, but it did mean a couple of things were rushed to get back in time for a nap so that we wouldn't be trapped somewhere if we were out for a couple of hours if she needed to nap. </li>
</ul>

<div>
On routine...</div>
</div>
<br />
<div>
<ul>
<li>Whilst we have more of a system of naps/timings rather than a strict set routine, we still wanted her to go to bed at a decent time each evening. This did mean being in most evenings, but we didn't mind too much as it got dark around 7.30pm anyway out there and we'd been out all day/had lunch out and then be happy to have dinner in. We'd cook, Ben would work or we'd watch a series together. A couple of times though we did want to go out after her bedtime to catch a sunset, so we'd do her bathtime, put her in the buggy and went out for a walk with the snoozeshade down and then lifted her into her cot when we got back, I'd sometimes feed her at that time like a dream feed and she'd go into her cot without issue.</li>
<li>I really wanted to do this to hopefully allow us to do it this summer too at home so we're not trapped by bedtimes on light, warm evenings where we don't want to stay home. </li>
<li>I always say that you'll never remember a good bedtime but you will remember the evenings you mixed it up where you went to watch the sunset/went out to a restaurant. Obviously sometimes it could backfire, but the worst that would happen is that they'd think it was a nap and then you'd do bedtime when you got home and would work it out tomorrow whether they sleep in later or you do an extra nap? I wouldn't want to do this every night but it definitely can work!</li>
<li>The only thing that makes that harder is if you need to go in the car/risk transferring them so we just did it with places we could walk to.</li>
<li>Most of the time she was in bed by 6pm so it did mean we missed out on some sunsets, but you have to weigh up the fact that travel with a baby is a bonus compared to home? And work out what's important to you. The other option would be to shift your timings so that they go to bed later? </li>

<div>
On the strong sun...</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>Do any babies enjoy having suncream put on? I haven't heard of any yet, it seems like a right of passage that they just hate it. But obviously it's a daily, if not more, task when you're on holiday - or in the sun in England. Ben luckily took charge of this task and it became part of our daily routine there before getting her dressed each morning. We took some suncream with us but actually ended up buying it out there, they have a lot thicker stuff which doesn't go into her eyes, they only sell 50+ out there for kids. Being in Australia we knew we could buy more very easily but if you're going to a remote resort I'd recommend taking more with you than you think you'd need as it would be expensive to buy more if you ran out. </li>
<li>For the most part though we concentrated on keeping her out of the sun completely, either in the shade of the buggy or parasol or finding shady spots to sit. And when in the water we used UV suits and hats {some good options <a href="http://bit.ly/2Ta9dZj">here</a>, <a href="http://bit.ly/32vXKXj">here</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/2Ta7P9a">here</a>}</li>

There were a couple of stressful times where we rushed home to make it back for naptime, and one stressy journey where we got stuck in traffic driving back to the airport where she was due a nap and was hungry but we didn't have time to stop as had to get the shuttle to the airport so yes, that was not fun but 98% of the time was just made up of really wonderful happy family times with time to focus on her properly without the stresses of being home and I feel so grateful for that incredible trip! Travel with children is what you make it I guess, you have to expect stressful times like there can be at home, babies be babies, anything could happen regardless of where you are in the world. I feel like we did get lucky with an ideal time to go with Freya in that she wasn't teething/ill/bad with jet lag? It all worked out so much better than we ever expected it to and felt like such a wonderful relaxing, fun break for us too. I'm guessing we'll need to adapt trips as Freya gets older and dynamics change but for me, travel will always be worth any of the stress of packing/flights/jet lag in the end! </div>

This is the kind of list that I pestered friends with older babies for when I was pregnant a year ago. Buying for a new baby can feel really overwhelming, I remember sending a text to a group of lovely mama’s asking what the difference was between a bodysuit, a vest, a romper and a babygrow?! And would I need bottoms to go with the vests, how many of each should I buy? There’s suddenly so much to learn and new parents are a marketer’s dream with the promise of buying this for better sleep or to give your baby ‘the best start’. But in reality newborns need very little to start off with and in the end, of course, we got there and learnt along the way, possibly overbuying a few bits and not having quite enough of the other but we none of that really mattered in the end. I wanted to be super organised before Freya arrived, possibly forgetting that the world doesn’t stop turning when your baby arrives and there are always people going to the shops should you need something. That being said, it’s exciting when you’re pregnant to go out and shop for your growing babe. This post has been duly promised to a few lovely pregnant mama’s on Instagram, so here is my list of honest feedback for the things we had and found really useful in the first 6 months now we have some experience and perspective. I started off by calling this an essentials list, but in the end just included a mix of everything we used a lot plus I wanted to list a few things that we didn't need/like. Although of course we just have one baby and every baby is so different, so ask around<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>and also it’s worth seeing what you can find on local Facebook/gumtree selling pages/NCT nearly new sales.</div>

First up, a car seat is a must. The hospital won’t let you leave without one. We had <a href="http://bit.ly/2I4bgaJ">this Nuna Pipa Lite </a>which I’d definitely recommend. We did a lot of research into car seats and this is one of the lightest on the market which makes a massive difference when you’re lugging it to and from the car with a baby in it who gets heavier over the coming months too. Whatever car seat you go for, having an isofix base makes it amazingly easy for just slotting into place quickly and safely, you just look to check all the points have turned green - this also meant we could move it into my parents/friends cars within about a minute too which was handy. I also really liked this for the fact it fit onto our buggy base for ease of lifting her out if she was asleep/a quick dash around the supermarket and the dream cover that peels down - have used this a lot to keep a nap going. Freya had a few months of absolutely hating the car but it was nothing to do with the seat and thankfully now loves it. I’ll be crazy sad when she grows out of it which won’t be all that long. We’ve now bought the <a href="https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8689416">joie stages seat</a> for the next stage which goes up all the way until she’s 7 {it adapts into various toddler then booster seats} whilst this does start from newborn so you could just get this from the start to save on money/an extra car seat, it doesn’t lift out the car so I’m reluctant to use it until she’s outgrown the nuna as I love being able to carry her out in it. <br />
<br />
I'd also really recommend a carseat mirror to hang on the back of your seat so you can see it from your rear mirror to keep an eye on them. We got ours from the baby show but similar <a href="https://amzn.to/2VTa1n5">here</a>. </div>

A carrier/sling {sorry I went a bit crazy with all those photos of her in them as I just LOVE and loved baby wearing so damn much}. I don’t know any babies who didn’t love being in a carrier, it reminds them of being in the womb and it means you can be hands free/get jobs done whilst wearing them. There are sling libraries where you can go and try lots on to see what feels comfortable. We used both<a href="http://bit.ly/2Hit163" target="_blank"> this ergobaby omni 360</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/2tWKu0Y" target="_blank">this grey stretchy wrap</a> on a friends recommendation daily for both walks and around the house and couldn’t have been without either of them. We still use the ergo now. The ergo has a newborn insert built in, can be used from 7lbs and was great for supportive carrying for long walks and as she got heavier/super easy to get on and off but the wrap was heaven for having her so close to us, she would nap for ages in this and it was comfy enough to sit down in with her napping in it when we got home. It took a little time to build confidence to tie the wrap correctly but once we got going, Ben and I would literally fight over who’s turn it was to wear her in it. So yes definitely loved both of these so much and they saved SO many naps. We also bought <a href="https://amzn.to/37rCGSn">this winter rain/fleece cover </a>which we've used whenever we've been wearing it on cold/rainy days instead of having to pad F out with lots of layers, great for removing as you go into a warm house/coffee shop without having to wake her. Plus <a href="https://amzn.to/39FiBtE">these washable teething straps</a> have been great for the ergo.</div>

<a href="https://amzn.to/39uGnrV" target="_blank">Angelcare bath seat</a>. We bought this second hand from our friends and used it for every bath for the first couple of months until she got old enough to want to kick around/float in the water. It means you don’t have a slippery new baby who’s head you need to support whilst you try to wash them. Really rated it BUT if buying now I think we’d maybe go for a small all in one baby bath thing, I keep hearing about this <a href="http://bit.ly/2HlxCV3" target="_blank">shnuggle thing</a>. The seat we had used a fair amount of water for such a quick bath. In the end I’d get in after most baths and top it up so it felt less wasteful. But yes, it was good for us but could find a better solution I think.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="https://amzn.to/2voPqfn" target="_blank">This bath thermometer</a> was a big yes though. We still use this everyday to make sure the water temperature is around 37/38c, it just takes the guesswork out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cellular blankets. I bought a couple from ALDI in their baby event on a whim and ended up using them daily for the first few months. Being cellular they’re safe for newborns and both keep them cool/warm depending on the temperature. Used these at night and then in the car seat/when chilly downstairs in the day. For special outings I had bought <a href="http://bit.ly/37k98pJ" target="_blank">this gorgeous cashmere version</a> which she still uses and it feels really special {wait for a discount code to make it a bit cheaper}.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

Bedside crib. We had <a href="http://bit.ly/38o0FmZ" target="_blank">this snuzpod</a> and I don’t have anything bad to say about it, we used it right up until a week before she turned 6 months and on the few occasions when we were away and used a travelcot, I missed it {and having her next to me} so much. Made it a million times easier in the night to know that she was safely next to me and I could reach out to get her for feeding {the side drops down} without having to get out of bed.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> Definitely definitely recommend a side attached crib.</span></div>

<a href="http://bit.ly/301ZUyY">Sleepyhead</a>. Hmm now this one might be controversial in that pods/nests aren't recommended by the lullaby trust for safe sleeping SO I didn't even know whether to share it on this list. Of course please do your own research - we have and believe that the Sleepyhead is breathable and not like one of the positioners, but I'm not here to tell you to get one, just being honest with our use of it. Before Freya was born, Ben and I said we’d wait to see if she needed it before introducing {friends had sworn by it for their babies - pretty much everyone we knew - but we were a tiny bit concerned safety wise plus would it then be hard to take away later on?}. To start with she wasn’t bothered, I think just still in her own sleepy little world. But then? Oh then we needed it and used it every single night {even packing it for Italy and New York inside the travel cot case}, and day naps when she wasn’t in the carrier/sling plus she used to like just hanging out in there when she was awake in the day. We did a lot of reading and felt confident it was right for us to use but yes, as I said, go with the lullaby trust information first and foremost and see what you think. It’s comforting to babies to feel snug. In the end we needn’t have worried about taking it away as she just wanted to roll in her sleep by 6 months and it was stopping her so she just wanted rid of it! <a href="http://bit.ly/31VAotJ">The toy arch</a> over it in the early newborn days was really nice too when they can’t see very far and it was a great place to put her in the day around the house with us. It did mean we ended up carrying it up and down each day but it’s not too awkward/heavy. Personally we'd definitely use it with a second baby.<br />

<a href="https://www.naturalbabyshower.co.uk/collections/love-to-dream" target="_blank">Love to dream zip up swaddles</a>. My Mum and I had bought one of these at a baby show and after the first week or so when she had just been under a blanket at night, we started using this and it made her sleep for so much longer feeling snug but not too tightly wrapped - the hips are free in it. She loved having her arms up as did lots of other babies I know. I rate these super highly, we've since bought more sizes and tog ratings, using them every single night. As she got bigger we moved onto the transition type where we unzipped the arms and eventually now the sleeping bag type. We’ve just bought some going up to toddler size whilst in Australia, big fan of the brand. Whatever swaddle/sleeping bag you decide on, I’d recommend having two in each size for those occasional yet inevitable nighttime changes/to save you rushing to wash and dry.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

Toys. For the first 3 months I’d say toys aren’t a necessity at all for actual play although it’s cute when you see them taking an interest in the black & white contrast patterns on toys. But from 3 months on we found toys became part of daily life. A couple of favourites from the last few months - <a href="http://bit.ly/2SuW0KA">Sophie la giraffe</a> has been her favourite teether for months now,<a href="https://amzn.to/2ULXvW1" target="_blank"> this handheld teething mit</a> for when they don't have good enough hand eye coordination but want to chomp, a colourful crab with a spinning tummy from Sainsbury's, these Montessori <a href="https://amzn.to/2w5jUmT" target="_blank">ribbons</a>, this <a href="https://amzn.to/2Sz3Ote" target="_blank">Lamaze firefly</a> was amazing from the start up until around 4 months, sensory things as they get a bit older like an insulated foil blanket to cut into pieces, a snow globe to show them {not a toy but causes so much wonder}, the list goes on. Big yes for a nice selection of toys for the house/car/going out.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> But there are also so many things around the house which can be toys for them too.</span></div>

<a href="https://www.notonthehighstreet.com/tuppenceandcrumble/product/fleece-baby-star-wrap" target="_blank">Star wrap</a>. I was gifted this unexpectedly in November and I’d heard so much about them but didn’t realise what I was missing until we got one. So so easy to put on before going out in the car seat/carrier/buggy and no messing around with zips or pushing arms through bulky snowsuits that then don’t work in the car. Easy to whip on or off so doesn’t disturb naps if you change temperature zones and not restrictive on their hips/limbs. A Winter must have I’d say. Also super cute with the hood. We use this almost everyday in the winter now.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

<a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/huckleberry-baby-child/id1169136078" target="_blank">Huckleberry app</a>. We literally live by this! Totally free {although you can pay extra for a premium version which we haven't needed}, we’ve used this app from around 10 weeks I think and it has just been the single biggest thing I think that’s made such a difference to all of our daily happiness. Adjusted by your baby’s age, essentially you log each nap/night sleep and it will tell you when the sweet spot for the next nap/bedtime is due. In the early days we found that just being 5 minutes too late could make it so much harder and create over tiredness. Even now we still log every nap and night sleep as so often time goes past and suddenly it’s been a few hours already and if they don’t nap now, they’ll be cranky {although at this age she can go a lot longer and we can push bedtime a bit without the wired over tired battle we sometimes used to get} . You end up living your life around naps to an extent, but it makes such a difference. It doesn’t tell you how to get them to sleep so you just do what works best for you/your baby. The only thing you need to choose is how many naps, so younger babies would be timings from a 4/5 nap day and now we’re on 2/3 but you’ll get to learn what works best and huckleberry advises you too. So yes can’t rate this highly enough once they’ve woken up out of that deliciously stretchy, will sleep at anytime fourth trimester phase.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;">Buggy</span>. A pram is such a big decision which will be based on where you live and what kind of thing you’ll be using it for. If you’re in a town/city and using public transport a lot you might want something small? We have the <a href="https://www.bugaboo.com/gb-en/pushchairs/bugaboo-fox/bugaboo-fox-conf_fox.html">bugaboo fox</a> and it’s been really, really great for what we need and we’ve been totally happy with it, it’s adaptable to both roads and off road, pushes like an absolute dream and has some really useful features like the fact the hood which folds down more than other prams, foam tires so you never get a puncture and I love the look of it. It is bulky in the boot when it’s in the newborn bassinet stage, as are most this size I think, but v easy to put up and down once you get the hang of it. The only thing I envy on my friend’s Uppababy vista is her bigger basket underneath handy when out shopping. But yes pram shopping has so much to think about so really is best to go to a big store to see them all and test them out, fold them up and down. We've since then bought the bugaboo footmuff for winter which has been so cosy and easier than putting loads of layers on her when it's cold. The rain cover it comes with isn’t great or v substantial so think we’ll buy the performance cover next as I go out for long pram walks a lot now. Freya has been a baby that loved her buggy for the first month or so, which was a good job as it was really hot so we wouldn't have wanted to carry her all that much, then hated being in it for more than half an hour for a couple of months, then from around 5 months when we switched it to the infant seat she's loved it again and it's so nice to take her out in it for long periods of time now. </div>

White noise. At the start I thought that Freya was a baby that wasn’t in need of white noise but that was simply because we were in that blissful not knowing she was even born phase? But after she properly woke up, we used it everyday and still do for creating comfort for going to sleep/settling her in the car. There are so many white noise machines to choose from. We’ve mixed and matched from Spotify’s crashing waves on loop {downloaded - I always put my phone on airplane mode though when next to her for long periods}, to the <a href="https://amzn.to/39vNm3S" target="_blank">Snuz cloud</a> in her crib {great, we used for months but it does go off after 20 minutes} but now we prefer constant white noise so we have a small rechargeable mp3 that Ben downloaded a loop of YouTube crashing waves onto which works well. We take this out with us now for naps as well as having under her cot at night. She associates it with sleep and helps her connect cycles plus means we don’t need to be tiptoeing around as much, gives a bit of a buffer. So yes I would recommend the cloud for the small baby stage as it's really comforting for them with the red light on/safe to be near their little heads and staps nicely onto the snuzpod, but because it goes off after 20 minutes it's not really something for all night sleep that Freya needs to connect sleep cycles after she turned around 4 months old and went through the regression.</div>

<a href="http://bit.ly/31Piysi">Baby gym</a>/play mat. From around 2.5 months+ until she could roll at 4 months we used one of these everyday. We bought this folding gym which was fab for moving around easily and attaching different toys onto the top of. It was amazing to see her develop over time from just being interested in the hanging bits to gradually reaching and eventually nonchalantly bopping them with ease. My parents had a baby playmat with an arch over the top and more to see/do underneath which was better as she got older and we ended up using this when she could roll as ours stopped being safe because of the string! BUT it was hard to move around and put away. Inconclusive as to which I’d recommend. Depends on how much space you have I guess? And which you prefer the look of.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

<a href="http://bit.ly/2SkNJsq" target="_blank">Stokke Tripp trapp</a>. Not strictly newborn essential but you will need a high chair when you start weaning and the <a href="http://bit.ly/2SFiNlz" target="_blank">newborn insert </a>was so lovely to have her safely up at the table with us/close by when I was cooking. It had a little toy arch on top which kept her entertained as well as being able to see us. I like to think it sets up good eating habits by being part of the table from a young age but in reality to start with there are only small windows that she was happy for in this. But still v nice to have when she did go in it. The high chair part is then fab and it converts to a child/adult seat eventually too.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

<a href="https://amzn.to/37p1MkQ" target="_blank">Gro egg</a>. Used this everyday, and night, in the first few months as a really visual easy guide to the room temperature and knowing how many layers to dress her in BUT in the end had to keep unplugging it as when it hovered between two temperatures in the night the changing coloured lights would wake me up/annoy me. The summer was fine as it was almost always warm/a constant temperature but through autumn/winter it would change too much. if you have somewhere not next to your bed to put it then it might be better but it lights the whole room up so I actually think that just a digital thermometer is better? In Freya’s nursery now we just use a portable electric one and the baby monitor has a temp on too {although we find it’s normally a couple of degrees higher than the actual thermometer as it’s up higher but still a useful reference}.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

For the early days when you’re changing nappies a lot, I found having a basket of changing supplies, and a little foldable changing mat, downstairs really helpful to save going up every time. We have a changing basket by Olli Ella in the nursery which I've personally loved, I know some people think they're not practical compared to purpose made changing mats but we've loved it and it looks so nice in there. I just bought some washable changing mats to cover the inner lining {which does wash too}. I bought a couple of packs of 3 of these from Mothercare but I think they've since gone out of business but t<a href="http://bit.ly/2HlyRnf">hese are the same</a> - I like that they're not cold on their backs like the plasticy ones.</div>

Soak them in both of these in water for 20 minutes then wash as normal with maybe a little more napisan for good measure then hang in the sunlight, even on cloudy days, and the stains will disappear like magic.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

<a href="https://amzn.to/2w5l1D5" target="_blank">Your baby week by week </a>was a book we referred to in the early days to know things like a rough number of how many wet/dirty nappies we should expect and roughly how many feeds she should have/hours of sleep etc. But after a while we didn’t look at it anymore as it was quite focused towards the fact your baby should be able to sleep on their own/self settle by about 4 months which we didn’t feel ready for. But yes, useful in the early days. <span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

We’ve lived by the <a href="https://www.thewonderweeks.com/about-the-wonder-week-app/" target="_blank">wonder weeks app</a> for explaining development leaps which can leave your normally happy baby in a stormy, unsettled period. It’s been bang on for Freya, it goes by due date rather than birth date and it’s really nice to know the reasons behind each leap and the new skills they’re learning along the way even if those leaps can feel really tough at times! But then you get to a sunny period again and all is well.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

NCT course. Not cheap but we’re so glad that we signed up as we’ve met such an amazing group, there are 8 couples in total. It’s true what everyone says about how invaluable the WhatsApp group is at 2am and seeing the babies grow up together and have other mamas to go to baby classes with or meet up for coffee/cake each week has been a lifeline.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> One useful thing we found as we had a couple of different course options near us both for location and due dates was to email the course leader and find out the postcodes of the other people booked on and this meant we found local friends in one group compared to another which would have meant the others would have lived further from us. I really hope we'll all stay friends to watch the babies grow up together.</span></div>

The <a href="https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/1-second-everyday-video-diary/id587823548" target="_blank">One second everyday app</a>. I’m so grateful that I heard about this before Freya was born as it prompted me to shoot a one second video of her everyday and put it into this easy to use app which collaborates them all together so at the end of each month/year you can see how she’s changed. I’ve loved this little project so far and can’t wait to put it all together for her first birthday. I make sure to shoot in landscape mode otherwise you get black bars at the side and I paid for the annual subscription so it backs them up.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

Oh and going back to the vest/bodysuit/babygrow thing. Get a mix of each. I’d say 6 short sleeve vests in newborn or 0-1/0-3 if you have a summer born babe or long if winter as they tend to need an extra layer under almost every outfit/sleepsuit at night too. The sizing is so hard to gauge before your baby is born. You’re always going to need 0-3 months but it’s whether you’ll need newborn and/or 0-1 before that. We ended up needing all of these, F was 7lb 15 when born and needed newborn clothes for the first couple of weeks, everything else swamped her. Don’t go mad but do make sure you’re not having to do more washing than you need in those tiring precious early days. Any you can find with scratch mits are even better and zips make life easier - M&S and H&M were our go to's plus Sainsburys.</div>

<a href="https://totterandtumble.co.uk/" target="_blank">Totter & tumble play mat</a>. From around 4 months when F started wanting space to roll around more, this gorgeous padded playmat has been so well used already for spreading toys on and perfect to fit lots of babies on at play dates, especially as we have hard floors everywhere downstairs. Anti bacterial and v easy to wipe clean.</div>

Have a 2 week no visitor rule? This is something a little different from the rest of the list but I had heard a lot about the ‘pulling up the drawbridge’ movement that Steph Douglas/Don't Buy Her Flowers in particular talks about as well as others. Essentially it’s preparing friends/family that you might want to limit visitors in the first couple of weeks as you adjust to your new family life. Particularly if you’ve had a complicated birth or feeding is especially tough. We didn’t know how we’d feel but we told everyone in advance to not expect to meet Freya straight away to take the pressure off those magical, exhausting, overwhelming first two weeks where midwives are popping in and health visitors drop by and you just want to catch up on sleep. In the end we did enjoy seeing immediate family {of course!} straight away and some close friends earlier than we’d said because everything had been straight forward. But I do remember putting lots of people off because the days went so quickly with all the feeding/appointments so don’t feel bad at all for just wanting a few days/couple of weeks until you feel up to it. AND Make sure nobody overstays their welcome and ideally brings you some food/offers to help with something. We’ll never forget two of our best friends turning up the day after Freya was born, not to ring our doorbell or see us but to just leave a big parcel on the doorstep with lots of yummy food {all of our favourites!} in for us so we didn’t have to go out or cook, it was so so appreciated! And that was the gift that kept on giving when I was still eating the ice cream a couple of weeks later.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Finally, muslins. Can’t have too many in the early days for spit up, covering when feeding if it helps, laying over stuff to protect from spit up, as a light blanket if it’s chilly. I found M&S great for the <a href="http://bit.ly/2UPlKCO" target="_blank">plain white</a> that have washed really well over the past few months, <a href="http://bit.ly/2SDO2O4" target="_blank">these baby Mori super soft and extra big for covering up with</a> then some fancier ones from <a href="https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/collections/muslins-swaddles" target="_blank">Scandiborn</a> with brands like Liewood/cam cam Copenhagen/little unicorn plus musthud.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-converted-space"><br /></span>
Oh! And I forgot to mention bibs. In the early days they'd save outfits from the milk spit up, Freya was a fairly sicky baby to start with although not all are. Then later as they start to teeth you'll get weeks where everything is soaked in dribble so bibs stop them from getting damp. We go through stages of needing them. Sainsbury's always seem to have quite nice designs for girls. </div>

<div class="p1">
Things that were nice but not a real necessity -<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<a href="http://bit.ly/2WcMyP7">Nuna leaf swinging chair.</a> I think you’ll want some kind of swing/bouncer chair to put your baby in at times in the day whilst you shower/get stuff done and whilst this swinging chair is so gorgeous for the way it sways back and forth, is all padded, grows with them to a small child’s chair, we’ve loved having this for Freya but being totally honest we haven’t used this as much as I thought we would and it’s quite bulky to move around the house with you easily so depends on your living arrangements.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Things we bought but didn’t end up using;<br />
<br />
The<a href="https://amzn.to/2HfWcqz" target="_blank"> snuza hero breathing monitor</a>. I read so many reviews about this v the angel mat/owlet before freya was born and settled on this. But we didn’t ever use it once. Part of me wanted to for peace of mind, the other didn’t want to disturb her/ have the alarm go off in the night if we forgot to turn it off before changing her nappy. She was a healthy birthweight with no complications and she slept in the same room as us for the first 5.5 months which is supposed to remind them to breathe {the official advice is that this should be until 6 months but rightly or wrongly we started leaving her upstairs for day naps after this time}.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>Truth be told we were too worried about clipping it onto her nappy wrong. So yes, didn’t end up being needed for us but some reviews say it was life saving so it’s such a tough one.<br />
<br />
Snowsuits. I bought Freya SUCH a gorgeous leopard baby gap snowsuit thinking she’d get lots of wear out of it through the winter months. But nope, they’re hugely impractical for babies before they start toddling around. Because we used the carrier so much, snowsuits actually aren’t officially recommended as it can make babies overheat and have their legs in the wrong position. So couldn’t use it there. Can’t use in the car seat as too bulky for the straps plus hot. Can use in the buggy but she hated her buggy until she was 5 months old plus hated having to get in and out of the suit. So it’s been worn maybe twice <span class="s1">😭</span> as then we bought a buggy footmuff which was much better and easy for zipping/unzipping. What we have used instead has been the star wrap mentioned above plus thinner bear fleece suits and an ergo rain cover.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
Baby shoes. Luckily I didn’t spend much money on these, I got a couple of pairs from H&M/Sainsbury’s cheaply which look adorable in her nursery but they don’t stay on so I think in hindsight a bit pointless until they need shoes for walking.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br />
<br />
Top and tail bowl. We were bought us this in the early days when you use cotton wool/water instead of full on bathing her but we found it ended up being really annoying to use and store {although the thought was greatly appreciated}. We just preferred to use a couple of little bowls instead of having to fill up/move this big rigid plastic thing.<br />
<br />
We didn’t buy a moses basket for early daytime sleep but when talking to NCT friends this is the thing they said they didn’t need. Babies outgrow them really fast and it’s then hard to store. They look really romantically gorgeous for newborns in the early days but we, as did our friends, just used the buggy bassinet or sleepyhead which could move around easier to the garden/different rooms/family houses if needed then used the side crib at night.</div>
<div class="p1">
<br />
I haven’t included a changing bag on this as I wouldn’t necessarily recommend ours because the opening is a bit too small to easily get stuff in/out. I would say get a rucksack though with Velcro clips for ease of carrying/strapping to your buggy as this has been really handy.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you're still stuck then I'd definitely recommend booking a nursery appointment in John Lewis which was really helpful although from talking to friends who had similar I think it depends who you get. We lucked out with an ex nanny who was full of really insightful advice.</div>

It's so nice to be back to the blog. Albeit written in haste whilst Freya naps, trying to fit it in around all the other things I rush around doing when she's asleep! But weaning! I can't believe how many messages I've had from fellow mama's on instagram asking for a post about this when I've shared little snippets on stories so far. It goes without saying that I'm no expert at all, I have one bubba who is about a month into this new journey of starting solid foods. And I'll always caveat posts like this with all babies are just so different and there really is no right or wrong. BUT a month ago, I was looking for all the inspo I could get fr<span style="text-align: center;">om mama's who had started so this is just me sharing what we've done. Is it right? I have no idea but she's loving her food so far and truth be told, I wasn't looking forward to starting it. I didn't know how I'd find the time to sort out food for her on top of feeding her milk, I loved the ease of her just drinking from me. But actually it's been so fun and actually given some structure to our days now that she's awake for longer between naps. It's so rewarding to see her enjoying food and it really doesn't have to be hard. I'm waffling, let me start properly from the beginning...</span><br />

Back in November I booked onto an introduction to solids course run by my local family centre, the health visitors were always telling us at the weigh ins to go and I'm really glad I did as it gave such a great overview of it all and it was free. So I'd definitely recommend going to something like that, it just built my confidence on knowing what I could and couldn't give her, things to look out for and how to build it all up. In essence, there are two main schools of thought - Baby Led which is just giving them little pieces of 'real' whole food for them to pick up and gum and learn to eat. Or spoon fed/pureed which is when you puree everything into a smooth texture and feed it to them. In reality I think most people fall somewhere in between? The spoon fed puree route is the traditional one and I was surprised that the course I went on was very anti this, they basically said to only do baby led as babies are so used to having milk/smooth textures that they won't learn how to eat/could become fussy in the future if you don't give them textures now. They also wanted to make it easy for us I guess? Anyway, it was pretty informative and I then went away and read up a little more and found inspiration from some instagram accounts plus baby weaning books - will list all at the end of this post.<br />

<div class="p3">
<span class="Apple-converted-space">We started with the first tastes in the middle of December when she was five and a half months old. I was set on waiting until she was six months, maybe giving her a little taste on Christmas Day just before it, but when I went to a weigh in before christmas with her, the health visitor thought she seemed ready and actually all the advice says 'around' six months so it's very much dependent on when you think your baby is showing the right signs rather than a specific date. The key factors are making sure that they can sit up/hold their necks up to swallow food which she could, that their tongue reflex has gone {when they're younger their tongue acts as a reflex to push food out to prevent choking} which it had and coordinate their hands/bring things to their mouths which she'd been doing well for a while. So she was definitely ready. We started slowly, not knowing how on earth she'd find eating actual food after a life of only ever knowing how to drink milk! Suddenly there would be this whole new skill, learning how to have things in her mouth, how to chew/gum, how to swallow, what things tasted like. It must be mind blowing to a baby to suddenly have so much flavour?! </span></div>
<div class="p3">
<br /></div>
<div class="p3">
<span class="Apple-converted-space">I guess the really important thing that I'm remembering is that for the first year milk will still be their main source of calories so that takes the pressure off of how much they eat but I really wanted to introduce as many flavours and textures as possible in the next few months. And although there's the saying 'food before one is just for fun' there are important vitamins/minerals that they need like iron etc which is why they say weaning should begin around six months when their pregnancy iron stores start to run out - it's worth reading up about some baby nutrition as obviously I'm no expert in talking about that. But I guess just offer as wider variety of foods as you can which will be a benefit in so many ways. Ben and I both love our food so we wanted Freya to enjoy it all too and have good principles of food being a nice family occasion for us to when possible, all sit down together. </span></div>

From a fairly young age, if she was happy enough {e.g. not too tired or hungy}, we had her up at the table with us when we had dinner or she'd watch as I cooked or prepared food in the kitchen, playing with her little toys. I've always loved the idea of her getting used to eating being a social thing, and so we loved the Stokke newborn attachment. Then last month, when she was around 5 and a half months old, she suddenly seemed a little big for it and ready to sit in the high chair bit. The stokke chair seems perfect for her at this age, she's really sturdy in it compared to other high chairs we've tried in cafes. We've got the tray part on it right now but as she gets older I think we'll just push it up and she can use the table. Before we gave her any food we made sure that she seemed happy in the high chair and it was a fun thing with toys to get her used to it and also gave her a spoon to play with/again get used to. She'd started having some teething granules off a spoon and loved taking it.<br />

The first proper meal that we gave her was colostrum from the freezer mixed mixed with a teaspoon full of readybrek. We'd defrost a few syringe worth in a cup full of warm water and mix it with the fine oats. She gobbled it down, her mouth covered! We had a few weeks worth of colostrum which we wanted to use up before you're meant to use it - around 6/7 months maximum I think, so prioritised this as breakfast, a good meal to start with we felt. To start with I think she literally ate about two teaspoons but over time it's increased, and I look at photos of toddler's porridge on instagram in awe at the amount she'll eat in the future!<br />

So we mainly started with breakfast if time allowed in the mornings. Then we'd find a window in the day to give her first tastes of vegetables, usually around lunchtime but to start with we just did it as and when - not necessarily everyday.<br />

I had no idea how she'd find food and so I wanted to take it at her pace, but she took to it all so well that it all moved on pretty fast.</div>

I was adamant that I wasn't going to spend hours in the kitchen steaming things, pureering and freezing them - the traditional way to wean a baby. There's nothing wrong with this but the weaning course I'd been on said it just wasn't necessary and that you should try to give as many textures and real food as you can. So, partly out of my laziness for not wanting to spend hours prepping extra smooth baby food, I just kind of winged it and gave her something new every couple of days prepping as I went. So to start with, I roasted some squash in the oven and then mashed it in a bowl mixed with some breastmilk. It was smooth but had some texture still. Likewise, for avocado I mashed it with a fork and mixed with a little breastmilk and then cooked some kale and then blitzed it roughly in our nutribullet with some milk to give her as first tastes. I wanted to give her vegetables over fruit to start with. There's a school of thought that says giving as many bitter flavours as you can is best rather than getting them hooked on the sweet stuff. At the same time we'd give her some finger foods to play with/gum, bits of broccoli, cauliflower, courgette, cucumber, carrots. She didn't necessarily eat much of these but loved sucking the broccoli head and it was good to get her used to picking up food and bringing it to her mouth.<br />
<br />
The course I'd been on had showed a really useful video on the difference between gagging and choking. When doing the baby led method, there's more chance of choking than when spooning in pureed food and it can be scary. But gagging is a natural reflex as they learn how things feel in their mouth. At the beginning she'd gag quite a lot but that's really subsided in the last few weeks. I brushed up on the baby first aid course we'd been on to know what to do should choking occur - gah just the scariest thought ever?! But as a general rule if they're noisy and gagging/red then don't intervene as it can make it worse to try and remove something from their mouth and they'll then spit it out. BUT if they're silent and blue, they need help from you. I really feel so totally unqualified to even give any advice on stuff like this though so please do your own reading and research! </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
I've found it a tough balance between cutting things up small enough for her not to choke/be a shape that could get stuck in her airways - e.g. tomatoes, blueberries or grapes, but with things like that they tend to be slippy so it's harder for her to pick them up and get them into her mouth. A lot of the time I mash up berries with my fingers and just feed them to her. Over time I'll be able to leave them a little bigger/she'll get better at scooping them into her mouth but right now it feels like a good compromise. This <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/B5s9p9wHvy0/" target="_blank">chart has been helpful at working out how best to cut things.</a> It's amazing how fun it is to see her feed herself with things though. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
We then started giving her some of our dinners, whatever we deemed appropriate texture wise and making sure nothing has too much salt for her. My friend had given me a bag of pouches her son no longer needed. That weaning course had made out they were the devil {I think they mainly meant the ones like Ella's Kitchen where it will say broccoli on but is mostly pear for example} so I hadn't even looked down the baby aisle. But actually I've found the organic meal pouches to be really great and can't see a problem with them. I've found the brands called Little Freddie, Piccolo and Babease to be fully organic and full of only the good stuff, they're proper meals and have no fruit in. I wouldn't want to give them for every meal, I want her to know what food looks like/feels like/learn how to feed herself/have more textures, but they're really great a few times a week when you don't always have time to cook something or when we're eating something not that suitable/we're out and about. They're also a lot less messy and squeeze onto a spoon really well. To start with she'd have about half a pouch but now will demolish one pretty fast. My friend said you can mix them in with quinoa/rice/pasta to bulk them out when they get a little older too. Freya's absolute favourite is the squash mac n cheese. I've found some in supermarkets but a huge selection on Ocado {I did my first order the other day}. I've ignored the age ranges on them and gone for some that say 7 months +/textured as I don't want her to just have really smooth ones. I've been so impressed at how in these past few weeks she's really got the hang of it all and now doesn't flinch at any texture, which must be weird without teeth - she kind of just gulps it down?<br />
<br />
I started to introduce allergens one at a time - again with anything like that then read up on what possible reactions look like - so gave her peanut butter in some porridge a couple of times to make sure she was ok with it - giving no other allergens that day and making sure I gave it first thing so I could monitor her through the day. Then I introduced almond butter, egg, dairy and fish at different times. And touchwood she's been fine with them but I know young babies/toddlers can be prone to different intolerances/allergies whilst they're small so I'll keep a close eye out.<br />
<br />
For the first few weeks I found it was making her really windy, it's such a big change for their digestion? So a friend recommended we didn't give her food after 4pm as it was too close to bedtime, and I didn't want her to fill up on dinner compared to having enough milk before bed. But over the past couple of weeks now she's got the hang of it, and I think her stomach has stretched, she's got plenty of room for both and now we give her dinner with us around 5/5.30pm and it's been working well. She now gets SO excited when it's dinner time and I think she'd really miss it if I didn't give her dinner now, it's become such a part of the routine before bed and I think the protein helps to keep her full too.<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
So that's pretty much where we're at right now with three meals a day if time allows. She sometimes has a pouch where I'll then give her a few chopped up bits/finger food to go with it or she'll share our dinner. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
A few of her favourite meals so far;</div>
<div class="p2">
Fish pie - I made Jamie's fish pie the other day for us all and it was a huge hit. She had seconds for lunch the next day.</div>
<div class="p2">
Avocado - I mean, she couldn't not as a milennial's daughter, ha. Easy to mash and a good finger food.<br />
Scrambled egg and buttery pieces of toast</div>
<div class="p2">
Anything cheesy<br />
Our green smoothie</div>
<div class="p2">
Deliciously Ella's butternut squash daal, I made a big batch of this and have some in the freezer to pull out in future.<br />
Any kind of beany/lentil based/daal/stew.</div>
<div class="p2">
Pasta stars<br />
Broccoli and cauliflower</div>
<div class="p2">
Our beef chilli, I just mashed the beans up</div>
<div class="p2">
Berries - blueberries and raspberries specifically, can't get them quick enough</div>
<div class="p2">
Porridge with almond butter {now that my colostrum has run out we make it with organic full fat cow's milk}<br />
Yogurt and fruit<br />
Stewed apple<br />
Tuna and sweetcorn baby pasta stars - she devoured this, I mixed some yogurt and cheese in with it.<br />

I haven't shared lots of photos of her with the baby led stuff as I tend to not have my camera out at that point as I'm checking she's not going to choke eeek!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
There is still so much that I want to give her as time goes on and so many new tastes for her to discover.<br />
<br />
The only thing she's turned her nose up so far at has been a chia seed pudding and banana porridge. Over the next few weeks I'll start making more things that she can pick up and eat, the young gum's book is really good for this. But right now she's happy to be spoon fed which I'm savouring as I guess she'll want to start only feeding herself soon!<br />
<br />
A friend gave me a great tip to get omega's into them which is to mix a spoonful of pumpkin seed oil into their porridge/any dinner which is nice to know they're getting some extra goodness and it doesn't change the flavour. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p2">
We give her water with meals, and for a while she's been LOVING drinking out of a glass which makes us laugh so much, lapping it up like a little kitten. A doidy open cup was recommended {we have the one linked below} which is specially slanted to make it easier and she's taken to drinking out of it really well. She has water or in the mornings, some of our green smoothie which she adores and I'm really pleased she likes.<br />
<br />
It does take time to sit there and feed her, often at the expense of my dinner going cold - mama life - but it's so rewarding introducing her to food and I hope will set her up with a good relationship with it. I'm keen to never make dinnertime a battle and so I don't want to ever force her to eat something if she doesn't want to but nor go too far the other way and give too many alternatives as she gets older and screws her nose up at something. Everyday her appetite will differ, just like ours I guess! And if she doesn't like something I'll keep offering it as her tastes will change over time.<br />
<br />
I want to do some more reading about food actually as I'm so aware how children feel like food is something they can control and likewise I don't want to overtly praise her for eating well which could then trigger food becoming a kind of binge/reward thing as she's older? I'm probably hugely overthinking this and right now she's blissfully unaware of anything like that! I vaguely remember hearing good things about the book called French Children Don't Throw Food but any advice appreciated.</div>

<br />
High chair - the <a href="https://www.stokke.com/GBR/en-gb/highchairs/tripp-trapp/1001.html" target="_blank">Stokke Tripp Trapp chair </a>was AD/gifted to us but I can't recommend it more highly. It also transforms into a child's chair and then an adult chair so it will grow as Freya grows which I love. Super easy to clean too and comes in lots of colours. We went for white to match our other chairs.<br />
<br />
Doidy open cup <a href="https://amzn.to/35V9hPP" target="_blank">online here</a><br />
<br />
Weaning spoons, I have<a href="https://amzn.to/2RqiaMb" target="_blank"> this set of bamboo spoons</a> which now says unavailable? Similar <a href="https://amzn.to/2TvndgQ" target="_blank">here</a><br />
<br />
Although we haven't used them yet as she's not been eating big enough meals, we got <a href="https://amzn.to/2u9tAvB" target="_blank">this bowl with a suction</a> for Christmas alongside this <a href="https://amzn.to/2QZBnoS" target="_blank">sectioned plate</a> which I've seen lots of friend's older babies/toddlers use and it's fun to offer a balanced meal on them<br />
<br />
Bibs! We have a couple of these long armed washable bibs by Liewood from <a href="https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/products/merle-cape-bib-in-leo-beige-beauty" target="_blank">Scandiborn online here</a> which cover really well plus a friend gave me this <a href="https://amzn.to/2tqkWJb" target="_blank">'pelican' silicone bib</a> which has been easy to chuck on and off. And<a href="https://amzn.to/370d93s" target="_blank"> then there are these by Bumkins </a>which are similar but a little cheaper, they have a tie neck so don't cover quite as well but again easy to throw in the wash!<br />
<br />
Wipes, I bought some Aveeno baby wipes on offer in Waitrose last week and they've been really gentle on her face. But a few people have recommended Cheeky Wipes which are reusable and washable.<br />
<br />
Method spray to wipe the high chair down after every meal. It gets filthy!<br />

- <a href="https://amzn.to/2RlhCXT" target="_blank">The Young Gums cookbook,</a> a modern approach to baby led weaning with meals for the whole family. I like how the recipes say for 'two adults and one baby' for example so you can all eat the same<br />

A very quick post from me tonight as I want to document my favourite overnight oats/bircher recipe. I've been searching for the perfect breakfast combination for years and it was only after feeling inspired from subscribing to the Deliciously Ella app fairly recently that I mixed a few of her recipes together and rehashed them to make this. I always make a beeline for bircher muesli whenever we stay or go somewhere for breakfast but it's often REALLY sweet and made with apple juice. Don't get me wrong, I have the biggest sweet tooth, but if I start my day with something sugary then I've got no hope. Or often they're too yogurty which I don't always fancy. I'm not a full on vegan but we have been eating a lot more plant based meals of late. Anyway, this is just what I've been looking for, it takes just 5 minutes to throw together when the baby is in bed and then you have a healthy breakfast ready and waiting for you in the morning, if you scale it up then you're set for the week! Lots of you have requested the recipe too so I hope it's helpful.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
120g Oats</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
375ml milk {I use almond}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 grated apples {I use organic braeburn}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2 tablespoons chia seeds</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Makes 2 servings. Basically just mix all together and store in the fridge overnight. I find it best to make it in one big bowl and then spoon out portions as and when you need them, it seems to soak better when it's all one big portion to start with. I often scale this up to make 3 or even 4 breakfasts in a row. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Great on it's own or even more delicious topped with a spoonful of almond butter and berries when you go to eat it. You could add honey/maple syrup but I don't feel it needs it. </div>

<br />
I want to start this post by talking about the fact that it <u>really</u> doesn’t matter to me - or anyone - how you feed your baby, as long as you make the choice that you feel is right for you. I’m so aware of the fact that breastfeeding doesn’t work for many for so many different reasons and you have to do what’s right both mentally and physically. Fed is best, there are no awards, there's no competition with anything to do with motherhood, it's all really hard and you just have to do what works best. I really hate the fear of talking about feeding and I’m not sure why there are two distinct camps when mothers should support each other. A happy Mama = a happy baby, I read this lovely quote on instagram recently that said 'bottle or breast, whatever works best'! But I guess this is the point where I should mark this post with a trigger warning in case it has the potential to upset anybody, because that is not my intention at all and would feel mortified to ever make anybody feel like that from talking about my own experience. I wanted to write this post as I've really enjoyed reading other mama's stories about their feeding journey and to look back upon and share with Freya someday. There's also a list of recommendations at the end for things that helped us. It's ended up taking me months to write, coming back a little at a time and one draft didn't get saved which made me so upset! So finally, I sit here with it ready to publish.<br />
<div>
<a name='more'></a><br />
Although breastfeeding is meant to be one of the most natural things in the world, I was under no illusions that it would be easy from talking to countless friends and reading as much about it as I could. I was so so desperate and wanting to breastfeed but I almost didn’t believe it would be possible because of everyone else’s stories about how hard it was? <br />
<br />
I armed myself with as much information as possible, in fact I remember reading the Le Leche League's book on a tiny transfer plane whilst we were on a babymoon in the Maldives back in March, I read countless posts on Instagram all about supply/demand, I read pages of info on a Little Peach guide, I went to the NCT breastfeeding class and watched the videos about how a baby should latch on, ‘nipple to nose’ is what I remember. But as a friend pointed out, it’s almost like the analogy between revising for your driving test without actually driving a car. I knew that I could only prepare myself so much and that it would be down to baby Freya and I to learn together when she arrived and we'd see how it would go. <br />
<br />
I started harvesting colostrum before she was born, keen to build up a stash in the freezer should we need it {if birth had been difficult and we’d have been separated or she’d had to go into special care for example}. You’re only advised to do this from 37 weeks in case it brings on labour, but I begun leaking drops colostrum around 34 weeks so asked my midwife for some more info about it and she gave me a booklet as well as some syringes. From 37 weeks, I expressed by hand onto a sterile teaspoon and syringed it up everyday, sometimes twice a day! And then stored it in the freezer. This really built up my supply and when Freya was born I didn’t experience that 2/3 day hungry period that’s meant to be really tough whilst your baby waits for your milk to come in. {in the end, we didn't need to use any of this as I had a straight forward delivery and my milk was plentiful. BUT I don't think it's ever a bad idea to try this if you want to, we've just finished giving her colostrum now, 6 months on making porridge with it for her now she's started weaning and occasionally we'd give it to her in a bottle too. It really is liquid gold and if you have spare, one of the best things immune wise you can give your baby - I'm forever grateful to an Instagram post from an Australian mama I saw about this about a year ago now}. <br />
<br />
I was lucky to have a really straight forward home birth {you can read my birth story <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2019/08/freyas-positive-home-birth-story-part.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2019/08/freyas-positive-home-birth-story-part_16.html">here</a> if you’re into that kind of thing} and once we were all dried off and on the sofa, Freya latched on straight away and had a good, long feed whilst we did skin to skin. I can’t even remember if it felt painful? I don’t know what I did expect it to feel like. But when she was then having her midwife check over, our student midwife Vicky - TOTAL dream midwife, she got me through labour, spotted that she had a tongue tie {something I’d read about countless times before and suddenly filled with panic at the fact this could be a big hurdle for us on our feeding journey. It’s becoming really common and some studies indicate it could be because of too much folic acid during pregnancy which whilst crucial for preventing birth defects, can fuse together the tongue after that stage has passed?}. She told us not to worry as it might not cause an issue but the next morning when the midwife came back to check on us, she saw my nipples and said we needed to get it sorted as she couldn’t latch on properly because of it and it would cause me huge painful trauma and could stop Freya from feeding. Unfortunately, the NHS had a 6 week wait for an appointment to even get assessed so luckily we knew about a local private medical centre, where our NCT course had been held where we could get it assessed and snipped so I instantly googled the phone number. On the Sunday night, Freya had been born on the Saturday night, I text the doctor there asking for an appointment and we got booked in for Tuesday when Freya would be 3 days old. If it was going to need snipping, now would be the best time to avoid her getting used to using her tongue too much. <br />

<br />
Until our appointment, the midwife advised me to use nipple shields which miraculously Ben’s step sister had given us about a week before she was born and I had them in the cupboard, not knowing what they were even for. I got them out, Ben quickly sterilised them and I got the midwife to show me how to use them whilst she was still there. These shields absolutely saved our breastfeeding journey and I feel really emotional even now, 4 months in whilst writing this, at just how grateful I am to have seen that midwife and for having some in the house ready to use. {will share all resources at the bottom of this post} <br />
<br />
I could write a whole post just on nipple shields but I can’t recommend them highly enough should you need them. For some health visitors they’re a little controversial in that they think it can stop babies getting enough milk, and they don’t get that skin contact, but from everybody else I’ve spoken to they’ve had no issues using them and Freya certainly didn’t have any weight issues whilst using them. I had one really tearful appointment where a health visitor made me feel rubbish for using them even though instinctively I knew it was right for us and working well. My midwives were all very supportive luckily. The shields in the end made our feeding journey really easy relative to what it could have been and apart from the very first two days where my nipples were a little sore, the shields allowed them to heal and as such I never experienced the soreness like everyone else I knew. The only downside I guess was having to have one on hand for feeding, in the end I kept one in my bra and switched it for a new one every day or so. At first I was scrupulous about sterilising them often but then a NICU nurse messaged me on Instagram to say that actually it’s just the same as your nipple touching your bra so not to worry so much. Obviously do what you feel is best but it made it a lot easier having one in my bra at all times. <br />

Where was I? Oh yes, day 2 feeding with the shields. Up until her tongue tie operation, feeding went well. I could see she was getting colostrum as the shield would have a residue in and she was really content, in fact she often took too much and we had a few days worth of yellow spit up stains on all her clothes and bedding. I felt like it was going well and we were in our rhythm. Having her latch on - albeit through the shields, after some lovely skin to skin, was just the best feeling in the world. Hearing her little sucking pattern, the pauses, the gulps, her big eyes looking up at me - newborn babies can only really see as far as your face in the first couple of weeks, the way she'd fall asleep and I'd have to tickle her nose/ears to get her to carry on feeding. <br />

<br />
Then we took her for her procedure and I was just in floods of tears at how it was all about to change. The doctor who assessed her said she had a fairly severe tongue tie and it definitely needed snipping and that feeding would likely be much more difficult now as she learns to use the muscles in her mouth again - she would have learnt to suck in the womb and now it would all feel so different for her. My boobs were also suddenly rock hard as my milk came in, making me extra emotional anyway but I just came away in floods of tears about all these new challenges and information on making sure my breasts drained properly now they were producing milk to avoid blocked ducts. It just felt really overwhelming and there was all this information about ‘hamburgering’ the nipple into a shape she could feed from. We were advised to carry on using the shields for the first couple of weeks as her mouth would be tired. It had seemed straightforward up until now but I was petrified and overwhelmed about how hard it all now suddenly felt. The change in her instantly was amazing though, she was suddenly poking her little tongue out for the first time! I was a bit worried about how she'd be after the procedure/how it would heal but the mouth heals really fast so she just had a little yellow dot under her tongue for a few days but it all went really well.<br />

I called the community midwifery team to book in for a feeding support session now we’d had her tongue tie snipped and I was so astounded by the incredible care on offer to us from our local NHS team in those first couple of weeks. They came to check her latch and show me some positions to feed in and how best to support her. There was one lady in particular, she was this really kind amazing grandma and it made such a difference. It’s amazing how suddenly you don’t care who your boobs are out in front of and at every midwife appointment they wanted to see us feeding and check how it was going. She could latch without the shields but only for a few sucks then she’d tire so we just carried on using the shields. It was so much easier for her to feed from as she could pretty much just slide on. Luckily, despite my worries, she continued to feed well from the shields and was now getting the proper milk - more white rather than the yellow thicker colostrum.<br />
<br />
I fed her on demand, offering it at any sign of hunger {we got given a useful chart showing hunger cues for a newborn} and those first few weeks were just a wonderful, tiring, blur of feeding and sleeping. I loved that you couldn't overfeed a breastfed baby so I'd rather offer it all day long than worry she might be hungry. By day 5 when the midwives came to weigh her, she’d only lost 5% of her birth weight which they were pleased with and I breathed a huge sigh of relief as although we had a pretty content baby, I had no idea really if she was getting enough. And by day 10 she was back above her birth weight! It was just the greatest feeling in the world being able to feed her, seeing her little face nuzzled in and hearing her swallow my milk, the oxytocin flowing. <br />
<br />
Before getting pregnant, I didn't know all that much about the benefits of breastfeeding but quickly learnt about just how clever and extraordinary the whole thing is, in particular we watched a program with Kate Quilton on channel 4 about breastfeeding and learnt about all the antibodies and the way that your milk will adapt to your baby's backwash/saliva to give them what they need. Your milk will be different for a newborn compared to say, a one year old, it can turn yellow again if they're ill, it will protect them from various illnesses and literally adapt with the right antibodies to fight whatever they've got, it will go watery if it's hot outside, it can warm a baby up or cool them down, for the first 6 months if you're feeding exclusively, it's all they need, it also protects you as a mama from various cancers and can keep you from becoming depressed, it gives you both lovely sleepy hormones to help you get back to sleep easily particularly in the early days with all those night wake ups. If you are intending to breastfeed it's worth a read up about how to prevent things like mastistis/the different kinds of milk - fore and hind {the watery 'drink' versus the fatty stuff} to give yourself a little heads up on it all. But really don't overwhelm yourself like I perhaps did as you can just look things up as and when they occur/they might not! I also found the whole supply and demand thing fascinating, when your baby feeds it's like they put in an order for milk the same time the next day, whatever they drink they'll refill with and they get used to the feeding pattern. For example, the first night that Freya slept for a really long time, I woke up in almost agony from boobs that wanted to burst as they'd always been used to needing that amount of milk {I ended up hand expressing a little into our bathroom sink}! They quickly adapt when the milk isn't being used though too. It's just so incredibly fascinating and I don't think people talk enough about that kind of thing?<br />

I’d always heard that breastfeeding would make you really hungry and thirsty but wow I was thirsty unlike ever before. And I couldn’t eat enough, having two breakfasts most days and making good work of my hospital snack bag with high energy biscuits/oat bars. I drunk gallons of water, especially as it was summer and pretty warm. Whenever I sat down to feed her I had water on hand - in two bottles!, my phone and snacks. Despite eating the world, the baby weight fell off quickly, I think from breastfeeding. <br />
<br />
I’m glad I was aware of cluster feeding, learning about it from friends who had babies a year before and some really informative Instagram/blog posts. For at three weeks babies go through almost non stop feeding designed to boost your supply to get them more milk. For a lot of women they give up at this stage and I can see why, it’s totally relentless and sadly a lot of women think they don’t have enough milk and this is why their baby is crying/crazy hungry. If you’re reading this and going through it, hang in there if you can/feel like you want to as it won’t last forever. I remember a day where I’d feed and feed and feed and she would settle for maybe 5 minutes, I’d go to the toilet or go to do something and she’d be crying as she wanted more food. I was crying, I hadn’t made it out the house for even a short walk that day. Throughout those early days I couldn’t have really done it without a good support network, my husband and parents namely. Bringing me food, not expecting me to do anything other than feed the baby. I feel like it would be so much harder to go through cluster feeding with a second baby? I remember some exhausting nights where I’d try to get some sleep in the spare room {Freya was a noisy newborn for the first few weeks and even when she was asleep I couldn’t sleep for her noises!}. Ben would bring her into me, often before I’d even gone back to sleep as she was hungry again. He was almost apologising that it was so soon, but it was so important. I got used to replying to WhatsApp messages at 2am! <br />
<br />
I remember using a silicone let down pump in the early days, sucking it onto one boob whilst I fed from the other side. The let down was strong in the first few weeks and I'd end up soaked in milk. It also served a purpose of giving some milk for Ben to give Freya a bottle with for a couple of mornings so I could go back to sleep for a while without having to pump/overstimulate my supply at that time. <br />

I took Freya for her first weigh in at the local family centre and hoped she’d be over the 8lb mark. She weighed in at 8lb 14oz and I cried with happiness and almost relief? I’d been feeding her almost constantly and I don’t know what I’d have done or how I’d have felt if she hadn’t gained much. I felt like a total superstar. We were really doing this!! The ironic thing was that on walking home with her I had to stop twice on different benches to feed her. But I didn’t mind one bit. <br />
<br />
Of course I had days where it was so full on and overwhelming but I didn’t want to stop. We'd got this, we were really doing it. Breastfeeding is hard for different reasons for different people, I didn’t have the soreness or supply issues but I did find it totally consuming/exhausting because there’s no break from it. <br />

Other people’s support really mattered in those early days. In fact, I credit so much of my motivation from one of my best friend’s passions for breastfeeding. She was, and is, such an inspiration and a huge support for me and has just finished breastfeeding her son at around 17 months. In contrast, some extended family comments like ‘she can’t be hungry again?!’ or people questioning why I wouldn’t give a bottle of formula so we’d all get more sleep made me feel like I was failing. I really loved some of the content I read on Instagram to help with this. And in fact, one of the health visitors informed me that breastfeeding babies often like their meals in three courses so it’s totally normal for her to cry and be hungry only about 10 minutes after a feed. I felt like there was a real lack of understanding of this, new babies are often hungry or sleepy - they've got so much growing to do! The way I felt at a certain family event though with people questioning me will stick with me - I doubt it was intentional at all, people only ever want to help or offer advice, but when you're a new mama who's exhausted you just don't want anyone questioning if you're doing the right thing! <br />
<br />
I threw myself into breastfeeding in public. We bumped into my husband’s uncle, visiting from Australia, by chance when Freya was just a week old outside a coffee shop whilst on a walk and decided to join them. Freya needed feeding so I had no choice but to start. The thought was definitely worse than reality and I was glad it went well, in the end you really don’t care if anyone sees anything, it’s the most natural thing and often other people feel more embarrassed than you do. I always quite liked it when friends were happy to watch her feed rather than feeling awkward looking away. There’s always muslins to cover up should you need. After that, particularly because it was summer, I fed her everywhere and anywhere! In parks, on benches, on the grass, whilst walking through the fields, in supermarkets {although I did drape a muslin over us in the supermarket!}, even in London - a lovely lady walked past me and said 'good job mama' which will always stick with me, alfresco on holiday - in Italy and New York we found dreamy spots for me to sit, or walk, and feed her. And I'm so glad that to this day, I've never experienced one negative comment from a stranger for it, I think times have really changed recently. Feeding on the go felt so liberating, I didn't always want to have to sit somewhere and wait for her to finish a feed and she was small enough at that stage to be able to walk with her easily.<br />

I quickly got the hang of feeding friendly nursing bras along with breastfeeding friendly clothes. Because it was summer it made it a lot easier with strappy dresses, camisoles and off the shoulder tops/dresses. Anything that was button down or easy access! And then as winter came along I adjusted my wardrobe to find feeding friendly dresses or I'd put a camisole underneath a jumper {you lift the jumper up and pull the cami down}. I did have to put away a few favourite dresses/tops which I knew wouldn't be possible to feed her in, but I realised it is for such a short part of my life in the scheme of things. Although I do feel like I spend half my time in button down shirts these days, it's like an enforced capsule wardrobe!</div>
<div>

<div>
I didn’t plan to get anywhere in a hurry in those first few weeks, in fact I tried not to plan much at all and despite it being mid summer and so lovely and light outside, I was in bed by 7.30pm every night, just needing as much sleep as I could get! <br />

<i>six weeks old</i></div>
<br />
At 6 weeks there was another stage of intense cluster feeding to fuel a growth spurt. It ended up boosting my supply so much that I had a blocked duct for the first time, it was on the day that we went to Whitstable for a long weekend for Ben’s birthday and I felt really rubbish with it all over and pain from one of my boobs round to under my armpit. I was terrified that it would lead into mastitis so I kept feeding her on it, showered a lot, used an electric toothbrush and even raked a hairbrush over it! I was up in the night with a hot flannel and hand expressing. Luckily it then calmed down and I was a lot better and touch wood, I haven't had another one since. I think I'm so hyper vigilant about making sure I keep on top of any and have been amazed I've avoided mastitis thankfully but know it could happen as we move further on with weaning?<br />
<br />

<br />
As time went on it got so much easier. We found new positions to feed from - as she was a little bigger and more sturdy, side feeding became our favourite way to feed. It was so comfortable, I could lay down with a pillow under my head and we'd often both drift in and out of sleep like that - obviously being careful to not have any duvets or pillows near her in the night - that was my biggest fear. But it was just so relaxing to feed her like that.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
I kept trying Freya without the shields but it was hit and miss. She could do a bit but not for long. The shields made it too easy for her. In my head I accepted that we’d just carry on using them, it was working, I was happy, she was happy. But then one morning, when she was around 11 weeks old, I was getting her dressed whilst in a dressing gown myself without a bra on {and therefore no shield} and she was screaming as she was hungry so I just put her straight on and she started gulping really well! Over the next couple of weeks I kept a shield with me but carried on giving her the boob first without and she eventually weaned herself off. In the end the shield became annoying for her and she’d only feed straight from the nipple. It was incredible and I didn’t think it would ever happen? Also because her mouth was now so much bigger and I guess she knew what to do, I didn’t get any pain or soreness from it. <br />
<br />
Feeding then became even easier without needing a shield to hand and even more incredible. I couldn't quite believe we'd got to this stage. From around 4 months old she suddenly didn't need to feed as often and would now take both boobs in record time, having got a lot more efficient at drinking now {at the start she'd only be able to take some of one side at a time and would often get really sleepy!}. I remember my friend telling me that I'd get to a stage where I wouldn't be feeding allll day long and I don't think I believed it before we got to that point but yes suddenly she could go so much longer without feeds. It was really liberating but also kind of weird - I would always offer it to her but she was like 'no mama I don't need as much anymore' and it made me savour her feeding so much more. <br />
<br /></div>
<div>
Just after she turned four months we got back from our trip to New York and I took her to the weigh in family centre, she had jumped from being around the 50th centile to the 75th and the health visitor made me cry with pride praising me, well us, for doing so well with it. I was so happy, and I'm not sure whether it was giving up the shields which meant she could get a greater volume of milk? or if it was all the pumpkin ice cream I ate whilst we were away?<br />
<br />
From around the time that she turned five months old, feeding suddenly became a bit more of a battle. Whereas before she would zone out and drink wherever we were, she became much more aware of her surroundings and got really distracted. Everything was suddenly way too exciting for her, even the sound of Ben's voice and she would refuse to have milk. It's a normal stage but it was really tough. I'd offer her milk if I knew she'd be hungry/we were going out/I was going out and wanted to know she'd had enough food, but she'd scream like I was poisoning her. I worried that she'd get a negative association if I forced her to feed, I didn't want it to be like that at all. She'd normally take it better if we were somewhere dark with white noise on but it was alll on her terms and instead of taking on enough milk in the day {I'd have to go to our bedroom and play white noise to get her to feed}, she'd wake up a lot at night and treat me like an open all hours milk bar. It was worse than the newborn days in terms of the number of hours she could go for at night! I think it's called reverse cycling? It took a couple of weeks but I started to reduce the amount I'd give her at night, stopped feeding her to sleep for every nap and also at around six months she started to get less distracted so would feed without needing white noise again.<br />

<br />
In the past month we've started giving her solids which has been really fun. I was dreading it beforehand, I loved just giving her milk and whilst my milk will still be her biggest source of nutrition up until a year and food is just for fun to start with, it still feels like this big shift away from being her sole feeding source. She even drinks some water now with meals whereas up until 6 months, I provided alll her drinks too! I might write a separate post about weaning. She now has three meals a day but still needs plenty of milk throughout the day and now only wakes once or twice a night for a feed which is so much better than previously! I savour the breastfeeds so much as they get quicker and she needs them less often. Up until last week when we did some gentle sleep training, I had fed her to sleep for almost every nap which was just the most heavenly thing to have a snoozy babe on you. Although I knew it was the right time to stop this, I miss those sleepy cuddles where she'd fall asleep on the boob already! </div>
<div>
<br />
So that's pretty much where we're up to with it all. We've just used up the last of the colostrum from the freezer with her porridge and I'm so happy that she's been able to have this as an immune boost. I hope to carry on feeding Freya until after her 1st Birthday but we'll see how it goes for us both. I already feel sad at the thought of not feeding her, and just really hope that I can be as lucky to be able to feed a future babe should we be so lucky to have another at some point. It really has been the most incredible experience but I'm so aware that if it hadn't have been for supportive, proactive midwives at the start spotting the tongue tie and if we hadn't have got it sorted so fast/had the nipple shields to hand that it could have all looked very different. Yes it's hard that I'm so relied upon to feed her and that I haven't had more than a few hours away from her since she was born, but equally I wouldn't want it any other way? It's this real bittersweet part of parenting.<br />
<br />
I wanted to talk quickly about pumping/bottle feeding. I had a conversation with my NCT friends last week about how all of us have found expressing and leaving bottles so much harder than we ever anticipated. We all thought that pumping was hailed as a great solution to be able to breastfeed but leave the baby for some time or let somebody else feed them. But all of us have really struggled with this, I don't want to be negative/a voice of doom and gloom as everyone will have a different experience but for me, I've just found pumping to be such hard work - the psychology behind pumping compared to a baby actually sucking from you direct gets very different outputs and I wish I'd heard more about this before she was born.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
There's also finding the time to pump and the hassle of sterilising stuff only to be disheartened if you don't get much volume from it. I bought freezer bags ready to freeze my milk but have never put any milk {other than the colostrum in those pre birth days} in the freezer. It had always been our intention for Ben to give Freya a bottle once a day, and for a while, we did have a great system going. From around 3 weeks we first introduced a bottle {there's so much talk in the early days about not creating nipple confusion so I really wanted to get her feeding successfully from me as the main priority} and for those first three weeks we used the let down milk. Then from around 6 weeks, when my supply had regulated, I started to pump. But I think we didn't give her a bottle regularly enough for it to become really part of her daily acceptance? For a while it seemed to be a good solution and we had both grandparents and Ben giving her a bottle a couple of times a week to tide her over for a while and she started to get fussy and hit and miss about whether she would take one or not and in the end I got sick of pouring away milk that hadn't been drunk after it had been a fair amount of hassle to pump it or she'd have a bit but then still want a feed from me. Weirdly, the place where a bottle was most successful was in the car! So for a while if we had a long journey, it would be a good solution to pump before going out to save on feeding stops. But now I've pretty much packed my pumps away, and if I have a second baby I really don't know if I'd even bother with them as you'd have less time? It's such a hard one!<br />
<br />
I'm going to try giving her milk from a cup this week as I have to be out for a couple of hours and she loves having a cup for weaning so will try to express for that.<br />
<br />
Before I had a baby I would have been shocked to know that at six months, the longest I've ever left Freya has been for an hour and a half. That's my choice, a few of the NCT mums have successfully combination fed with a bottle of formula either at a set time each day or just as and when and found this a really great solution for being able to go out for longer. But I've always been hesitant to upset my supply and I've genuinely loved feeding her and being so attached. It's also such a short period of time in the scheme of things. She can now go for a lot longer between feeds/she can have solids now which means I'm a little bit more free but I think it's important to be honest about these things. Going out for an evening is pretty impossible though as she takes on so much milk before bed but is now going down to bed a lot earlier and sleeping so much more reliably so the tides are definitely turning!<br />

Anyway, I didn't want to end it on a negative note. Feeding her has been incredible and I feel so so very grateful to have been able to get this far and I really hope things will continue. To this day I feel lucky that she hasn't had as much as a sniffle/cold - touch wood/everything! And she's done so well weight wise. It really has felt like the biggest privilege to be able to feed my darling girl.<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear about your experience and if you'd do anything differently next time?<br />

Some resources which I couldn't have been without over this feeding journey;<br />
<i>ad, contains affiliate links.</i><br />
<ul>
<li>Water bottles with a straw x 2! Hydration, hydration, hydration. Especially in the early days and especially when it's hot just drink all you can. I had a couple from Aldi but have since found a really great one from TK Maxx. Make sure it's BPA free.</li>
<li>Eating well and lots! Which I think has been key to having a good supply, your body can only prioritise feeding a baby high quality milk if you're fuelling it well. I make sure to eat lots of oats which are known to be good for milk supply and I made a big batch of <a href="https://thebakermama.com/recipes/no-bake-lactation-bites/" target="_blank">these</a> lactation bites which contain brewer's yeast at the end of my pregnancy and stored them in the freezer, grabbing a couple of balls out mid morning everyday for the first couple of months - I just let them defrost for a bit or chucked them in the microwave for a boost. And I was also lucky enough to be sent a gorgeous box of healthy fuelling treats from the Pregnancy Food co - including <a href="https://www.thepregnancyfoodcompany.co.uk/product-page/mummanutta" target="_blank">these lactooaties</a> which were delicious.</li>
<li>Good vitamins are a must! I've been taking <a href="https://amzn.to/2QJpuDn" target="_blank">these Wild Nutrition breastfeeding supplements </a>along with an<a href="https://amzn.to/2TrFE6n" target="_blank"> omega blend </a>and I still take my <a href="https://amzn.to/2QMI0uP" target="_blank">pregnancy capsules</a>. I've invested in these as I haven't had to pay for formula/food for Freya and being aware that you will get depleted if you're feeding from an empty tank. I credit these to not being ill since being pregnant which is insane considering how many months of sleepless nights we've had!</li>
<li>Breastpads. I found <a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lansinoh-Disposable-Nursing-Breast-Piece/dp/B000WHHKEU/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=gel+compress+nippe&qid=1578845118&s=drugstore&sr=1-3" target="_blank">Lansinoh pads</a> to be the best compared to other brands, they were sticky enough to stay on. I've stopped needing them recently now my supply has regularlised and I don't have that fear of leaking but they were truly invaluable in the early, milk covered days and I started needing them before she was born {I worked with Lansinoh on a campaign but after I had bought tonnes of their breastpads}. Although I'd advocate using <a href="https://amzn.to/2t1nc9R" target="_blank">reusable washable bamboo pads</a> which are much nicer on your skin and much better for the environment compared to the plastic wrappers of the disposables, I think in those early days when they get full soo fast, you might want to use those for ease or stock up so that you have enough to change them regularly.</li>
<li>Nipple shields - obviously you might not need them but I'd always recommend pregnant mama's to have some in just in case as even if you can feed without shields, you might want to use them occasionally to give your nipples a chance to heal. I used <a href="https://amzn.to/36Oegmz" target="_blank">these</a>.</li>
<li><a href="https://amzn.to/2FKHR4u" target="_blank">This letdown pump</a>, with the neck strap to stop it from spilling, I used this for almost every feed in the early days - I've stopped recently as my supply has regulated/I don't really get a big amount of letdown anymore but it was just the best thing ever to a) stop yourself getting soaked with milk and b) to have expressed milk without pumping.</li>
<li>Nipple cream. I didn't have to use this as I was using the shields so didn't ever get sore BUT my NCT friends who didn't use shields slathered it on to help with their soreness in the early days, I bought a couple of<a href="https://amzn.to/2RaFhKA" target="_blank"> tubes of Lansinoh</a> just in case and it ended up being the very best lipbalm, I still buy it now and Ben even uses it on his lips in the winter.</li>
<li>One thing I did use though for the early days when I had a little trauma after she'd fed for a day with a bad latch were these <a href="https://amzn.to/2NhqAnI" target="_blank">gel compresses</a> which were really soothing and healed fast. I'd definitely make sure I have these in again for next time.</li>
<li>My friend has sworn by <a href="https://amzn.to/2NjvIrI" target="_blank">these silver breastfeeding cups </a>to help heal sore nipples and if you do put cream on, stops it sticking to your bra.</li>
<li>More nursing friendly bras than you think as I was constantly washing & rotating mine in those early days where everything gets covered in milk. Including <a href="http://bit.ly/30biceQ" target="_blank">soft ones </a>for overnight. <a href="http://bit.ly/3a0CFrb" target="_blank">These </a>have been my favourite for the day - I'm onto my second set and wear them every single day, plus <a href="http://bit.ly/30biceQ" target="_blank">these for sleeping in</a>.</li>
<li>Nursing friendly clothes. I bought a couple of <a href="http://bit.ly/37ZMROR" target="_blank">these feeding friendly camisoles </a>but mostly have just adapted my wardrobe instead of buying <a href="http://bit.ly/35Mel9c" target="_blank">nursing specific clothes</a>, looking for button down tops and dresses, anything that was easy access like off the shoulder tops or putting a camisole underneath a non feeding friendly top and pulling the top up/camisole down so your tummy is covered or dungarees so that you lift up the top underneath but still have lots of modesty. I'd recommend joining the facebook group called 'Can I Breastfeed in it UK' for ideas and solidarity for feeding in public with other breastfeeding mma's.</li>
<li>This <a href="https://amzn.to/2QOkyNM" target="_blank">little dimmable touch LED light</a> was really useful for the middle of the night feeds in the early days when you need to focus on getting the right position/latch but don't want to wake the baby with a bright full on light. </li>
<li>Research lactation consultants in your area beforehand and find out if there's a community midwife team/breastfeeding cafes/drop ins you could go to for support if needed.</li>
<li>Follow<a href="https://www.instagram.com/littlepeachlondon/?hl=en" target="_blank"> Little Peach London</a> on instagram although very sadly her account kept getting reported for 'inappropriate photos' so she's now had to move to a new account <a href="https://www.instagram.com/milkmakingmama/?hl=en" target="_blank">Milk Making Mama</a>, but she posts some incredibly supportive breastfeeding posts. </li>
<li>See also <a href="https://www.instagram.com/imogenibclc/" target="_blank">Imogen's instagram account here</a> - as recommended by the Yes Mum. <a href="https://www.instagram.com/legendairymilk/?hl=en" target="_blank">And Legendairymilk</a></li>
<li>See also the <a href="https://kellymom.com/category/bf/" target="_blank">Kelly Mom website</a> which explains so much about cluster feeding/growth spurts/supply and demand/any feeding issues you might need help with</li>
<li>A pillow if needed like this <a href="https://bellamoon.co/" target="_blank">Bellamoon</a>. {nb - I worked with Bellamoon on an Instagram giveaway so got to try one out} and whilst it makes it more supportive, especially when babies are little before they can support themselves more, I wouldn't say it's a necessity so maybe see how you go or if you're pregnant buy it as a pregnancy pillow knowing it can be used as a breastfeeding support later if that makes sense?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Happy Happy New Year. I have a serious case of the Christmas blues! There is just SO much that I love about Christmas and this year in particular, Freya's first, was even more special than I ever could have imagined. She's at such a joyful age, and although we didn't get much sleep and had that kind of jet lagged, fuzzy headed feeling - in the end it didn't really matter because it was all so much fun and filled with the very best food and magic of starting new traditions with her. For Christmas Day itself we spent it at my parents with Ben's Mum and my grandparents and it was really really lovely. We then stayed over at my parents for a couple of nights which made it even better, all waking up together and having breakfast, having lots of family around to entertain Freya and did I mention the food already? And then, it was over all too fast and now it's New Year's Day already! I wanted to put together a little post with photos from Christmas, especially since I took a little insta break over the holiday, but then I looked back and realised that Christmas wasn't just about Christmas Eve, Day or Boxing Day, but actually it started around a month ago when we got our tree and started all these new traditions as our new family of three. So in the end this post turned into photos from the whole of December, <strike>I know, I know, chronic photo oversharer over here...</strike>. I haven't had all that much time for this little old corner of the internet blog of mine since Freya came along but I'm glad I've found the time to put this together since I wanted all of these photos to look back upon and actually it's made me feel so much better knowing that we truly maxed out on all the festivities. It's been quite cathartic looking at all the photos bringing it allll back again. <3 So yes, Christmas 2019 - filled with snow globe joy, the look and awe and wonder on her little face staring up at the lights on the Christmas tree, seeing all of our favourite family and friends, taking a little trip to Bath, our annual trip to London to Somerset House, meeting Santa, family walks, cheese, chocolate, turkey, leftovers, games and so much laughter. Thank you too for sticking around this year if you've made it this far, big kudos if you make it to the end of this crazy long photo filled post. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I hope to have a little more time to devote to this blog again in 2020 - but also maybe not? because my priorities have changed so much since our little baby bee arrived, and although I'm not hugely into big resolutions for the New Year, if there's anything I do want to try to take forward, it's not feeling guilty because in the end, all that really matters is right in front of me. I do have a couple of posts I really want to share soon though! As always, lots of love to you lovely readers - I know lots of you have been here from the start. <3 xx<br />

We’ve always loved hosting, but now that we have a baby, it’s been even more of a reason to have people over. There’s no stressing about rushing home for her bedtime or worrying if we’ll create a scene in a restaurant, and it doesn’t have to be a fancy dinner that you’ve slaved over all day, it’s just getting people together for a big brunch or early dinner {and other adult company has become even more important since having a baby}. I always think that we have to eat and cook regardless so we might as well enjoy the company! Having people over for dinner means that you can go a little fancy on the table, even if it’s an easy dinner {Jamie’s Green Mac and Cheese is our go to right now}. I’ve always loved setting the table, at Christmas especially! But year round it’s really nice to make a little effort that goes a long way for any occasion.<br />

I’ve put together this blog post in case you were looking for some inspiration. This would work throughout the year, you can just up or reduce the eucalyptus/greenery depending on the time of year and add in a couple of seasonal touches like crackers at Christmas time, maybe fresh flowers with some colour for the spring/summer or dot some mini white pumpkins in for autumn.<br />

I started with a blank canvas, Ben made our dining table but you can find some great dining options, including chairs and sociable benches, on Habitat’s website <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/furniture/dining-room">here </a>. The basis of this set up comes from the pink, gold and green – pretty much three of my very favourite colours which happen to work so well together. I’m OBSESSED with this beautiful pink dinner set called the Nona range, you can find it online with the <a href="https://www.habitat.co.uk/kitchen/shop-by-category/tableware/dinner-sets">dinner sets here</a> which inspired the rest of this table. You can buy it as a twelve piece dinner set with four dinner plates, four pasta bowls and four cereal bowls. I love the raised edges on the plates and the semi matt finish means that it feels relaxed for having friends over but the colour speaks for itself {and I think looks SO good next to the gold!}. It’s made in Portugal but crucially, it’s dishwasher and microwave safe. The cutlery is called the Turini range, which I adore, it’s contemporary with a simple design to match any style or occasion but makes any dinner feel a bit more luxurious when gathering people around the table. It ties in well with the candle sticks, gorgeous marble and gold rings {the Marsden range} to add some height to the table with pillar candles without blocking too many faces out.<br />

For drinks I’ve gone for both fancy champagne coupes {Athena}, because they make every table feel that bit more special than regular flutes, and ribbed everyday tumblers {the Dora range}. Plus a big jug for water, it saves people having to get up and down.<br />

I added a couple of glass vases at each end which you could fill with dried {a single hydrangea stem might look nice} or fresh flowers and then finished everything with some simple sprigs of greenery running down the centre, and on top of each place setting. Eucalyptus goes with everything, it smells amazing, and you can get a huge bunch for a £5 from local markets. But you could always have a rummage to see what you’ve got in the garden, maybe use sprigs of rosemary, olive branches or bay? Lastly, I’d add some napkins to finish it all off.<br />

I was undecided about whether to post a Christmas gift guide this year, partly because I'm not buying many presents this year - my family and I and most of Ben's family have decided that now there are more children on the scene, it's better to just focus on the littles rather than buy for the sake of it. Part of me knows this makes sense, we all have far too much but equally sometimes it's still really nice to go out and choose something special for those you love and appreciate. I don't have much spare headspace to think about Christmas shopping but more than ever I want to thank those who have been so supportive to us over the past six months as we've become parents. So mainly no presents - although I'm definitely still writing a list for my husband at his request. And I still need to buy some and have a lot of kiddos to buy for. Plus, so many of you lovely folk on Instagram messaged to ask if I'd be putting together a guide this year. So here's a slightly smaller version with some ideas to see if it will help or it might be something that you send to your partner/Mum/whoever it is that buys for you as I'm assuming you're reading this blog because we have similar interests? I <i>really </i>enjoy putting these together but now my list has definitely grown from spying some of the gorgeous things out there this Christmas...<br />
<i><u>ad/affiliate - please be aware that many of the links in this post are affiliate links which means I may make a small percentage of any sales. I have not been paid by anybody to include any of the gifts listed below, the whole point of this guide is that it's things I've scouted out.</u></i><br />
<a name='more'></a><i>You can find last year's gift guide <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2018/11/christmas-ultimate-gift-guide-2018.html" target="_blank">here</a>, although I'm not sure of what will be stocked this year/if the links will work, but might give you some more ideas.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
For babies -<br />
As a new parent myself, I'm so keen to not clutter up people's homes with more <i>stuff</i> and really only want to buy meaningful gifts for littles. So I'm trying to think about what I'm giving people ideas for if they ask and want to get something for Freya, when thinking about what to buy others.<br />
That includes; books {you can never have too many, Freya at 4 months is already really interested when we do a story everyday and I'm sure as she starts to understand more, will love them even more and for years to come}.<br />
Here are a few favourite books that you couldn't go wrong with; <a href="https://amzn.to/37ivvNy">The Tiger Who Came To Tea</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/33ZFPYX">Mog</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/2CWCwG6">Guess How Much I Love You</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/2qoPfP4">The Gruffalo</a><br />
<br />
plus these Christmas books - I like the idea of getting some Christmas books to open on Christmas Eve and then building up a little collection for the years to come - <a href="https://amzn.to/37fXFcb" target="_blank">Dear Santa</a>, the <a href="https://amzn.to/37lAuxh" target="_blank">Hungry Caterpillar's Christmas</a>, a<a href="https://amzn.to/37eArmE" target="_blank"> special book about choosing a Christmas tree {we have the pumpkin version and it's so special}</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/2D5SWMt" target="_blank">Mog's Christmas</a>, <a href="https://amzn.to/2r2ICSB" target="_blank">The Snowman - SUCH a classic</a> and<a href="https://amzn.to/2r8yuaH" target="_blank"> Spot's first Christmas</a><br />
<br />
Lots of great books here too - <a href="http://bit.ly/32KxMNX" target="_blank">all of these are on a 3 for 2</a>.<br />
<br />
I love the idea of a little Christmas Eve box with a new Christmas sleepsuit and a couple of books to read. The start of new traditions!<br />
<br />
A stocking - my Mum has bought Freya<i><a href="http://bit.ly/2NZpr3C" target="_blank"> this one</a> </i>that we'll use for years to come. Stockings are always so much fun to fill with little treats. - small wooden toys? Little animals? Hair bows? Chocolate when she's old enough!<br />
<br />
A Zoo pass or National Trust passes? For lots of days out. This is always the best kind of present in my opinion.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bit.ly/35g7dSP" target="_blank">These</a> lovely animals, not cheap but classics that will get played with in different circumstances for years. I hope if we ask different family members to maybe get her one for each Christmas/Birthday we'll eventually build up a nice collection. Online <a href="http://bit.ly/2qQgVfm" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/34TOCvn" target="_blank">here</a> - or also try facebook marketplaces or eBay for second hand finds. Likewise, <a href="http://bit.ly/2OtApPt" target="_blank">brio</a> or <a href="https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/products/wooden-story-natural-blocks-in-sack-100-pieces" target="_blank">these lovely wooden blocks</a>.<br />
<br />
Almost anything from <a href="https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/" target="_blank">Scandiborn</a> - they stock all the lovely children's brands and I don't think you'd go wrong with anything from there. We always direct family/friends over there and it's the first place I turn to. <i>ad/gifted items - I received 3 items in exchange for an instagram post about Scandiborn this Christmas but was not required to feature them here - I just think they're such lovely gifts. </i><br />
In particular, we've chosen<a href="https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/products/olli-ella-holdie-house?nosto=categorypage-nosto-1"> this Olli Ella Holdie House</a> {a portable modern doll's house}, <a href="https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/products/ooh-noo-toy-pram?_pos=1&_sid=5268c7641&_ss=r">this little pram</a> for storing teddys in her room and then good walking practice when she's a bit older and then I can just picture her pushing it around! And this <a href="https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/products/liewood-abby-pull-along-cat?_pos=40&_sid=dbd1bbe0e&_ss=r">cute pull along cat</a>.<br />
<br />
And likewise, the online store called <a href="https://mamaowl.net/collections/toys" target="_blank">MamaOwl</a> has some lovely Montessori themed things and gifts.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://amzn.to/2qfYL6U" target="_blank">This bath book</a>. I've bought this for a few friend's babies/toddlers as something a little different. Every baby has a bathtime and this can be a fun addition.<br />
<br />
Freya will turn 6 months just after Christmas so we've asked for some weaning supplies for her, like this <a href="https://amzn.to/2rRaERb">bamboo bowl set</a> which friends with older children swear by, <a href="https://www.scandiborn.co.uk/products/merle-cape-bib-in-leo-beige-beauty?refSrc=1294752776263&nosto=productpage-nosto-1">this bib</a> and a little cutlery set. Not exactly fun presents but super useful, I'm sure we'll use them everyday and for her this year it will all be about the lights and wrapping paper to scrunch!<br />
<br />
M&S have <a href="http://bit.ly/32M4tuN" target="_blank">this really great deal on wooden toys like this </a> which makes buying a little better.<br />
<br />
As a bigger present, maybe you're a grandparent looking for something, think about a playmat from <a href="https://totterandtumble.co.uk/" target="_blank">Totter and Tumble?</a><br />
<br />
Something theatrical to encourage role play for children I think is a great gift, I love this <a href="http://bit.ly/32HfJsa" target="_blank"><i>little puppet theatre sheet</i></a> or a <a href="https://www.thelittlegreensheep.co.uk/kids-teepee-play-tent-linen/" target="_blank">tee-pee</a>?<br />
<br />
<a href="https://uk.flyingtiger.com/en-GB" target="_blank">Tiger</a> had some great presents for slightly older children the other day. And likewise, <a href="https://www.hema.com/en-gb/gifts-party/gifts-for-kids" target="_blank">Hema</a> is a great place to look with lots of wooden toys plus animals at good prices.<br />

<br />
I'm also amazed <a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/c/specialbuys/toys?q=%3Apopular&page=0">by the prices at Aldi here</a> - I'm not sure how long these toys will be online for - but my Mum just ordered <a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/little-town-wooden-activity-cube/p/019153301056000">this activity cube </a>for Freya and there are so many great books/wooden toys. Plus little kitchens and <a href="https://www.aldi.co.uk/wooden-kitchen-baking-set/p/079971298024601">this lovely baking set.</a><br />

Talking of little kitchens, <a href="http://bit.ly/2CSRpsP">this one</a> looks design led with metro tiles!<br />
<br />
Or<a href="http://bit.ly/2CQwpTF"> this little ice cream set?</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://bit.ly/2qJ0HoC" target="_blank">Unicorn slippers</a> for little girls! {or boys for that matter}<br />
<br />
I don't have any teen girls to buy for, so haven't done very well at including things for them, plus their interests are likely to vary so much, but I did spot <a href="http://bit.ly/2O4UuLC" target="_blank">this personalised jewellery dish</a> and like it. Or <a href="http://bit.ly/2CErLrx" target="_blank">this gold necklace.</a><br />

<i><u>For her;</u></i><br />
Let's face it, creating this list is basically me writing my wish list. What I hope is that you, as a reader/with I guess similar interests will like some of the same things and can then direct whoever it is that wants to surprise you over here? I always want a surprise but Ben wants me to give him guidance so hi Ben!<br />
<br />
Top of my list is<a href="http://bit.ly/371y4TZ" target="_blank"> this gorgeous frame</a> to fill with favourite photos of our new little family and create a display in our bedroom by our staircase. I feel like anybody would love and enjoy filling this special frame?<br />

I have a leopard bag which I bought in the sale years ago that I've now used <i>to death</i> and it's falling apart. This looks like an<a href="http://bit.ly/2p8CbfY" target="_blank"> ideal, slightly more grown up replacement</a> which I think every woman would love?<br />
<br />
Also on my list for Santa are a selection of brass lanterns for our loft bathroom - I've had <a href="https://www.nkuku.com/collections/lanterns-t-lights/products/mohani-lantern-ml34" target="_blank">these</a> on my wish list for ages. And this <a href="https://www.nkuku.com/collections/lanterns-t-lights/products/mokomo-hanging-lantern-brass-ml03" target="_blank">hanging one.</a><br />
<br />
A classic but I don't know if anybody could resist some Jo Malone under their tree? Especially the way it's all boxed up with ribbons - remember that scene in Love Actually? <a href="http://bit.ly/2CSXIwv">This is my favourite scent</a> but <a href="http://bit.ly/32YxN14">this gift set looks really lovely.</a><br />
<br />
I bought myself <a href="http://bit.ly/2CQ9HLp" target="_blank">this apple watch</a> just before Freya was born and it's probably been the best thing I've ever bought. I use it every day, missing it if ever it's charging or I forget to put it on. Especially with having a baby to hold, I don't have my phone as close anymore or in my hand so having my watch to let me know if someone's calling me or see messages/reply on and the fact it's waterproof so you can jump in the shower or do baby bathtime without thinking. A good gift for a phone/tech lover?<br />

<a href="http://bit.ly/2XbH3O1" target="_blank">Alphabet socks</a>, I love this idea as a cheap but great stocking filler or little something for anyone you need to buy for.<a href="http://bit.ly/37599yX" target="_blank"> Or this</a>, for the dogs in your life!<br />

A night away or a special dinner voucher or a voucher for a nail appointment/massage that can be redeemed at a later date is always a winner.<br />
<br />
I know I never splash out for fancy pyjamas on myself but when I receive them, think they're the greatest gift of all? <a href="http://bit.ly/356WAl8" target="_blank">These starry button down are nice</a>, and although not cheap - a fraction of the price of so many I saw - WHY are they so expensive? Or <a href="http://bit.ly/2Xzm6wV" target="_blank">this lovely animal print</a> - button down since I'm still feeding her.<br />
<br />
Any of the Cowshed range always goes down well - <a href="http://bit.ly/2QgMRUV" target="_blank">this looks like a lovely gift set</a> or <a href="http://bit.ly/2O9zhQF" target="_blank">this</a> and<a href="http://bit.ly/2qPhKp3" target="_blank"> this handcream set</a> - my hands are forever dry in winter and when washing them all day long clearing up after the baby.<br />
Or <a href="http://bit.ly/370PcJH" target="_blank">Aesop</a> - if you're reading this Ben, I like practically all of their skincare, just the biggest treat.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://amzn.to/2OB7lFN">These bath salts </a>are my absolute favourites and would make a good stocking present, the smell and feel of your skin when you're out of it, just heaven!<br />

<a href="http://bit.ly/2rHjHUW" target="_blank">These wellies</a> are the best I've ever bought, I've had so much wear out of them already since the end of Summer. Leopard is a neutral these days, and they have this <a href="http://bit.ly/2OerZem" target="_blank">mid height version too</a> - I definitely don't need anymore wellies but I sure am tempted. But I also just spotted <a href="http://bit.ly/2KiVqe5" target="_blank">this lovely star print</a>, gah why are there SO many nice things I don't need?!<br />
<br />
A girl can <i>never</i> have too many Elizabeth Scarlett pouches, for travel, for jewellery, for make up, even in my changing bag I have one for nappies and one for Freya's toys, and <a href="https://elizabethscarlett.com/collections/constellations-collection" target="_blank">this new constellation range is gorgeous</a> - and I imagine will sell out fast. Gift for the receiver's star sign.<br />

Fancy slippers, mine seem to wear out each year at this time or get filthy from wearing them outside to get the washing in so <a href="http://bit.ly/2NFi42s" target="_blank">these are on my list</a>, or <a href="http://bit.ly/32IJJDQ" target="_blank">these</a>.

Jewellery, I got <a href="https://www.alicemadethis.com/collections/necklaces/products/dot-gold-necklace" target="_blank">gifted this necklace</a> as part of a brand relaunch this year and haven't taken it off since. You can get an initial on it, I have an F for Freya and it goes with every outfit and is small enough to keep on for gym classes etc. Another HUGE favourite of mine jewellery wise is Carrie Elizabeth, first discovered her when Ben bought me one of her necklaces about 3 Christmasses back now? - <a href="http://bit.ly/32Dhl69" target="_blank">this in particular I love and don't think you can go wrong with</a> but I also adore and <a href="http://bit.ly/2QmYqdc" target="_blank">wear this a lot.</a><br />
And<a href="http://bit.ly/2O7Je1a" target="_blank"> something a little less expensive.</a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://bit.ly/2O8fL73" target="_blank">This pack of spacemasks</a>, either separate for girlfriends/all the women you know who need a little time out, or gift one big pack for multiple sessions.<br />

A monthly stationery/paper club subscription for stationery lovers from the lovely <a href="https://www.wildflowerillustrationco.com/subscription-options" target="_blank">Wildflower Illustration Co</a>. I love the idea of presents that will keep going throughout the year and used to love getting a little bundle of hand illustrated cards through the post each month - also a godsend for mama's or anyone who's busy to always have a stash of cards in the house! You can get a starter pack to put under the tree.<br />
<br />
For photo lovers, <a href="http://bit.ly/2XqatIh" target="_blank">this selfie light</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/2NXhL35" target="_blank">this new polaroid camera</a> sounds AMAZING.<br />
<br />
For houseplant lovers, we love the small brand called <a href="https://www.root-houseplants.com/gift-vouchers" target="_blank">Root Houseplants</a> and recently bought my brother in law a voucher but they also have a subscription service too {just the dream to receive new plants to your door?}<br />
<br />
<a href="http://bit.ly/2rIs5Ub" target="_blank">Alphabet glasses</a>, such great value for almost anybody {whispers, cheaper than anthropologie}<br />

For foodies, we've been loving <a href="https://amzn.to/2rGCBv8" target="_blank">Jamie's new book</a> and <a href="https://amzn.to/2XbvgiC" target="_blank">this cookbook </a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://amzn.to/2XlViA9" target="_blank">This cookbook is everywhere and definitely on my list.</a> Plus <a href="https://amzn.to/2XlViA9" target="_blank">this one for healthy inspiration</a> going into the New Year.<br />
<br />
Candles - <a href="http://bit.ly/35hKOUP">Diptyque's Figuier</a> will always be my favourite - are really lovely, but I really like diffusers these days as a way to give a subtle scent without having to worry about flames/going out and leaving them on etc. They last a lot longer too. I've given <a href="http://bit.ly/371yHwQ" target="_blank">this set</a> in the past, it's really lovely as a whole year set.<br />
But I also can't recommend<a href="http://bit.ly/2O2XSq8" target="_blank"> this diffuser</a> enough to add different oils too, not cheap but OH so lovely.<br />
<br />
We have <a href="http://bit.ly/36ZzBtU" target="_blank">this travel print</a> on our landing and it's still one of my very favourites, a few people have messaged me over the years to say it's been the perfect gift for their partner and I feel like I might have featured it last year? Even so, am mentioning it again now plus the couple who produce them are super talented and they're all hand drawn to order. They now also do<a href="http://bit.ly/2O88jc5" target="_blank"> children's alphabet prints to inspire travel {here} </a><br />
<br />
My grandparents are always hard to buy for but they love the COOK range to save them cooking so I think I'll get them a voucher for that and a framed photo of Freya - since that's all they ever want!<br />
<br />
For travel lovers - like my brother - <a href="http://bit.ly/33G6Gch" target="_blank">this scratch off map </a><br />
<br />
I haven't included many ideas for men and that's because my Dad and Husband both do that really annoying thing of saying 'please don't get me anything'. But I do know that Ben is desperate for new pyjama bottoms - the only stipulation is that they must have pockets - <a href="http://bit.ly/352Kzgz" target="_blank">these look like they fit the bill </a>or <a href="http://bit.ly/2pYLAr7" target="_blank">these</a> although slightly more expensive.<br />
<br />
And I really like men in scarves? <a href="http://bit.ly/2OcHOSK" target="_blank">This one</a> would go with most of Ben's colours and coats plus <a href="http://bit.ly/2rzVoIi" target="_blank">gloves </a>are always a necessary but super useful well used gift in my opinion.<br />
<br />
My main plan for Ben is a voucher to go for dinner at a fine dining place near us called <a href="https://crockerstring.co.uk/">Crocker's</a>, it's an interactive kind of dining experience so I think I'll buy him that and hope we can sneak out child free at some point in 2020... But almost any restaurant will have gift vouchers.<br />
<br />
Think about a cooking class or something sport related? Tickets for a match?<br />

I always hear so much hype <a href="http://bit.ly/2Kh8rVO" target="_blank">about these,</a> a quirky gift for men but I'm sure pretty useful. And it's Aesop...<br />
<br />
<i><u><br /></u></i>
<i><u>And just for fun...</u></i><br />
<br />
always love a couple of Christmas novelties for table presents<br />
This <a href="http://bit.ly/2XnUUB7" target="_blank">Christmas dinner bib set</a> and <a href="http://bit.ly/37k3NzZ" target="_blank">this for those with beards</a> {my brother!}<br />
and finally... new year's eve feels so long away but is only a week after Christmas! <a href="http://bit.ly/2XtR899" target="_blank">Love this decoration set.</a><br />
<br />
<br />
What are your fail safe gifts? I also really like making gifts {although I'm not sure how much time I'll have this year} but we might try to pot up some paperwhite daffodils in glass jars for fellow flower/garden lovers - <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2019/01/spring-indoor-bulbs.html">see this blog post</a>. Or maybe bake something yummy to gift or make up glass jars full of baking ingredients or make bath salts? Lots of DIY gift ideas on Pinterest too.<br />
<br />
Happy shopping! Over the next couple of weeks there should be lots of deals for Black Friday, I'll try to keep an eye out and let you know any. I know that <a href="http://bit.ly/2qZQ1SH">Boden</a> currently have <a href="http://bit.ly/2qZQ1SH">28% off online here</a> with this code D7E3.<br />

We had 12 nights in NYC, which is a really long time for the city, so we looked at taking a couple of day trips to break up our trip and go and see some of Connecticut, a state I've always wanted to explore. In fact, if our baby didn't hate the car so much, we would have taken a bit of a road trip through the state - which is meant to be really gorgeous at this time of year in particular. I'd short listed a few places that we really wanted to visit {namely Kingston, Cold Spring, New Haven, Tarrytown or Westport} they tended to either be on the Hudson river or on the coastline north of NYC and crucially, they had to be accessible by train. In the end, Greenwich seemed like the best {and closest} option and it turned out to be my very favourite day of the trip. </div>

We took the train from Grand Central up to Greenwich, we just bought tickets at the station before boarding - and I think it was around £40 return for us both. We actually went to Old Greenwich, a couple of stops beyond Greenwich, first with our first stop being the beach. It was hard to find somewhere that would have a beach and a nice town in one place, everywhere seemed to be very spread out so we were actually a little hesitant in taking the trip but when we arrived, I was SO glad that we'd done it.</div>

We jumped off the train and arrived in the most beautiful, picture perfect American town. Old Greenwich is known for it's houses and it's where most of the bankers who work in New York, live. Needless to say, the shops were all super high end {although nothing like Greenwich high street}, but we weren't here for the shopping. We were here for the beach! About a two mile walk from the station, past the most incredible houses, you can get to the beach.</div>

It was everything I wanted, playing the 'which house would I pick' fantasy game, admiring all the leaves and that autumn light, looking out for halloween decorations and just being in awe of what an incredible location these houses were in - the most amazing beach at the end of the road. Some, as we got closer, even had boats and jettys in their gardens!</div>

There's normally a charge to visit the beach, but from the end of October until the start of April, it's free luckily for us. It was just even more incredible than I ever pictured. We took a picnic with us to eat on the sand and then gave Freya her first feel of it - she's suddenly really tactile and loves different textures. There wasn't a cloud in the sky and being on this beautiful beach with our baby made me crazy emotional. From the end of the point you could see the Manhattan skyline. There was an old couple sat on a bench together, her reading on his lap like that scene out of Notting Hill, they looked over at us and told us to enjoy our young family life and us wondering what old age will look like for us. You know just one of those magical kind of days?</div>

We enjoyed the beach until we decided to go and visit Greenwich town {you can either get an uber or take the train there}, then sat and ate pumpkin whoopie pies and had a wander around. It was crazy high end, too high end and flashy for us, but nice to see nonetheless. Some more photos below.</div>

I'd love to come back and stay somewhere in Connecticut sometime, maybe in the summer - although those beach prices would make it £££. </div>

We just got back from NYC and it was one of the best trips <i>ever? </i>I think because since being a new mama, everything feels like the greatest treat when it goes well now? So having time in one of my favourite cities in the world to just wander and eat at my favourite places just felt like a dream. Especially having Ben around for it all, it might be parenting in another place but it sure beats parenting at home! I've shared some tips for how we dealt with the jet lag/city with a young baby below along with some favourite photos of our trip.</div>

Flight/Jet Lag/Travel with a Baby;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've written <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2019/09/travel-tips-for-flying-travelling-with.html" target="_blank">this post about our first trip with a baby {and all things flights/packing etc</a>} but this was our first trip going long haul and dealing with jetlag. We were pretty spoilt in that we had airmiles to use {when looking at booking regular economy flights to NYC, they were ridiculously expensive, I think because it's a peak time of year? So in the end it made sense to use airmiles and just pay the taxes - <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2019/01/travel-how-to-use-airmiles-to-fly-first.html" target="_blank">I've written this blog post about how we use Avios to fly business class</a>} so we flew club. It made such a difference in that we could take extra luggage with us - we ended up taking a lot of luggage as our airbnb didn't have a washing machine plus we had 12 nights there and the weather looked really mixed so we needed big coats etc. It made such a difference to have lots of space around our seats for Freya to hang out in. Plus she's not crawling/on the move yet - she was 3.5 months when we went out and 4 months coming home. Flights going forward will probably be more challenging as we can't afford to pay for premium/business and she'll be on the move I imagine so we'll see how that goes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

So in short, the flight was great. I had her in our <a href="http://bit.ly/32yPXq0" target="_blank">ergo carrier ad/affiliate</a> going through the airport and had a huge hand luggage rucksack to have all the spare outfits/changing gear/a bag of toys for her in. And I had the sling too just in case she got overtired, it folds up to the size of a scarf so thought it was worth having in the bag with me. Ben and I switched her between us through the flight so when Ben had her, it felt like I was on some spa break just kicking back, with good food and movies to watch/things to read. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In terms of the time difference, our flight was at 11am in the morning so when we landed it was technically her UK bedtime. We're still using the Huckleberry app to know when she should nap, best app ever, so I just set my phone to NYC time before we took off and then it just added in extra day naps for her. As a rough guide, for her age it pretty much just says that she needs to nap every 1.5/2 hours max so I just made it a longer day for her and then we did the usual bath/bed routine when we got to New York and wanted to go to bed ourselves and I think the association of her swaddle/bath/darkness helped her know it was really bedtime now. Because I'm breastfeeding it was really easy food wise, I just fed her on demand. She then woke up at 3am the next morning {I guess 8am UK time} as did we. I just gave her some playtime, although kept the lights low, and she then went back to sleep {Ben and I didn't!}. She adapted to the time change so much better than we both did. Again, I just went by Huckleberry for when she should nap next and it worked really well. After that she was on NYC time so it really wasn't an issue at all. Because we tended to wake up early with the time difference, we just all went to bed a bit earlier than we would at home.</div>

We booked an apartment - more on that below - which was much better than a city hotel for her at this age, we had more space for us all and a big bathroom - a bath was key, and we stayed in a really family friendly neighbourhood. More on that below. We packed her toy gym {Ben unscrewed it and took an alan key with us to reassemble it so it would fit in the case} which was a lifesaver for when we were getting ready or busy cooking and she could just kick around and play. We packed some books for her for stories and a couple of her favourite toys but she's at such a great age where she doesn't really need much entertaining and is happy to just kick and practice her rolling. </div>

We took the <a href="http://bit.ly/36Y8hfx" target="_blank">babyzen yo-yo travel buggy ad/affiliate</a> with us {this was gifted for our Italy trip} and whilst it's a great buggy, unless we were around the neighbourhood we tended to just use the ergo carrier. In hindsight I wouldn't have taken it with us but we didn't know if it would be easier to have her in that at restaurants or whatever. We were up and down the subways which had lots of stairs and Freya won't last in her buggy all day - she won't ever nap in it! she's just that kind of baby? As she gets older I think it will be different but right now the carrier was the best for us, she could enjoy seeing out and take in all the busy city when she was awake but then she'd nap really well in it too - the subway was the best white noise haha and the traffic. We could just put the hood up on it when it was time for her to nap, if she didn't just fall asleep by herself at the right time. One of the best things we bought and took with us was this <a href="https://amzn.to/2CE6Ipk" target="_blank">ergo all weather cover</a> *ad/affiliate, which we used when it got cold in NYC or if it was raining. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We then took a big blanket out with us everyday to lay her out on - I was conscious she needed time to kick around and stretch out and play rather than just be carried - so we'd find parks or benches or areas of cafes/restaurants/even on the floor of the ferry when we stopped to give her time stretching out and playing with some toys we took. Again, 4 months was a great age for this as she's still not mobile so it was easy to contain her. There was so much for her to see everyday. I feel like all cities are super achievable and enjoyable with a baby when it's not raining or too cold. We were lucky in that most of our days were mild and sunny which made a huge difference. Rainy days in cities are tough - you can't change a baby outside or stop to feed easily. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We had originally booked I think 6 nights? But then decided to extend it to 12, another plus of using airmiles to book a flight is that you can change your dates up until 2 days before you fly, because the airbnb still had availability and we realised that things could then be a lot slower with a baby - we didn't have to pack everything in, we could just do half days and give her more time at the apartment each day plus Ben would be starting a huge new work project when we got home so this was a special, 'lets spend some quality time together' kind of trip. Both Ben and I adore US life so it was really great to have more time out there and to soak up all the things we love, for him the NFL - peak season, and for me, Trader Joe's, NYC as a whole, and the food! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We didn't try to plan too much with a baby, and didn't do many tourist things since we've done those before, this trip was mainly for just soaking the city up, walking for miles, eating realllly good food and exploring different neighbourhoods. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

On the way home we had a night flight, the classic red eye NYC to London. The flight took off at 21.45 which was later than her bedtime would be, so I took her swaddle to the airport with us, got her into her sleepsuit and swaddle and fed her to sleep in the airport lounge at the time she'd usually go down. She then stayed asleep for me carrying her to the plane and then putting her in the bassinet, waking up just before we were about to land. It was amazing and I couldn't have asked for anything better, I think the white noise helped and the darkness. But I was a little worried about all the fabric in the bassinet, it was a bit like a cot bumper which isn't recommended and although she slept well and was fine, I was up and down half the night checking on her and that her face wasn't smooshed into it, I undid the arms on her swaddle just in case! </div>

We loved Brooklyn more so than Manhattan on our last trip so we decided to base ourselves there this time. We chose a dream neighbourhood - Carroll Gardens/Cobble Hill on the border with Gowanus/Park Slope - all really lovely leafy, quiet family areas yet that still have lots going on and there was a subway at the end of our block that got you into Manhattan within half an hour.

NYC have rules against airbnbs, especially in Manhattan, so you need to make sure that any you book are properly legal, this one was as it was in the same building/house as the family who lived there - it was private but technically the owners had a door to it. It was on a really beautiful street, we definitely lucked out {although I had read tonnes of reviews} and just perfect for all the halloween festivities - both the neighbourhood was all decorated and full of families for fun on halloween night. It was also SO quiet, if you've ever stayed in a Manhattan hotel you'll know all about the crazy noise of the sirens and beeping horns throughout the night. It had a proper kitchen, big bathroom, second little bedroom to house all our suitcases, which I set up as a little changing station for Freya, and a big comfy sofa for putting our well walked feet up on. The only downside was the lack of washing machine, there was a laundromat down the street but in the end I just handwashed any of Freya's things that needed washing urgently and hung them over the shower curtain to dry. The owners were also really helpful and lovely.<br />

The neighbourhood just had the best feel about it, we arrived on a sunny Thursday afternoon and it was full of kids excited chatter as they went to the playground, there were plenty of coffee shops/nice bakeries, family book stores, the BEST ice cream place, a Trader Joe's just a 15 minute walk away, boutiques and gorgeous shops aplenty, fullll of buggies - suited us perfectly right now and safe enough that everyone left their buggies outside of shops etc. There was also a Whole Foods just a 5 minute walk away. And it was around 40 minutes to walk to Dumbo/The Brooklyn Bridge. If I ever come back to NYC I will be sure to stay here again. It was just dreamy - I wanted to live there - except I imagine the houses are all millions of dollars as it's so desirable and basically feels suburban for families yet close enough to the city. </div>

Even if you're not staying there, I'd recommend a trip over to that area if you like that kind of neighbourhood feel and cute stationery/antique shops etc. You'll want to check out the area around Smith Street & Court Street.</div>

The most gorgeous streets. And a 15 minute walk the other way took you to Prospect Park, Brooklyn's version of Central Park. You could also walk to Redhook from here, a cool new neighbourhood. There was SO much to do and so many places to eat just around this small area of Brooklyn. We loved it. </div>

Because it felt so safe, it was really nice for me to just take sling walks with Freya {particularly when she needed a nap} and browse the shops on my own, take it all in, whilst Ben did some work or watched some NFL. The best of both!</div>

As for the rest of our trip, we went across to Manhattan a few times to revisit some old favourite places. I've written a big NYC guide in these two blog posts - <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2017/11/travel-new-york-city-guide-part-one.html" target="_blank">part one here</a> and <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2017/11/travel-new-york-city-guide-part-two.html" target="_blank">part two here</a> plus a <a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2017/11/travel-new-york-eats.html" target="_blank">food guide here</a> - which have some of my must dos in. Some particular highlights and photos from this trip below;</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A few new things to note: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The East River ferries are really great at whizzing you around without using the subway. We'd often walk to DUMBO and get the ferry up to East 90th street for example and then walk just a couple of blocks over to Central Park, all for just $2.75 - get the app to buy tickets on, likewise you could get to Williamsburg or Wall Street from here too. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm going to write a separate post about taking the train up to Conneticut for the day - that was one of my favourite days of the trip.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sweetgreen - BEST salads ever because let's face it, not everything is healthy when in America. Likewise, Wholefoods for picking up an easy but delicious and nutritious lunch/dinner to counteract all the burgers. Chipotle is still a favourite of ours too.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The outlet stores over at Staten Island {just next to the staten island ferry} are worth a visit and the views you get back to the city from the ferry are incredible. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've written<a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2019/11/travel-halloween-in-nyc.html" target="_blank"> this post about halloween </a>whilst we were out there - that was a huge part of us going to NYC at this time of year. </div>

We recently returned from spending Halloween in New York and hands down, it was the best halloween <i>ever!</i> In fact, it's a good job that Freya won't remember her first halloween as nothing in England will ever really compare again to pretty much the home of Halloween being in the USA. I'm going to share a post about our first long haul trip with a baby and where we stayed etc but for now I thought I'd jump on and share a highlight from it, halloween and pumpkin flavoured everything. October is my very favourite time to visit New York, the trees and light are gorgeous, the weather tends to be crisp but not too cold, there are pumpkins on every corner, houses spectacularly decorated and it's just a really beautiful time. We've never actually stayed until Halloween on previous trips before though, always coming back that bit too early so this year was really special to be there for the night, and have our own little pumpkin to take part in a halloween parade! Details of where to find the best houses and all the parade fun below;</div>

There are two main areas you want to visit if you're as mad for halloween decor as I am. The effort that these New Yorkers go to is incredible, decking their brownstones out from top to bottom with huge cobwebs, covering their stoops in pumpkins {one we saw cost over $70, for one pumpkin?! Insane!}, posing skeletons and hanging out freaky heads from the trees. Some of them are like art installations, it really is incredible just to walk around and spot them. So you'll want to check out Brooklyn - in particular the areas around Cobble Hill/Carroll Gardens/Brooklyn Heights. Any of the streets surrounding these gorgeous areas, in particular Cobble Hill Park. Just walk to your heart's content. And then in Manhattan, there are some houses around Greenwich but mainly up in the Upper East and West side. New Yorkers joke that 'Upper West is best'. Check out the Mommy Poppins blog for halloween trick or treating guides, she'll list the best streets in each area and try to scout out on instagram each year where good ones are {I found an account called nyc_morgan who had a highlights reel with addresses/houses on}. In particular, UWS 69th Street by Columbus Avenue, this street actually closes on halloween for a street party and the houses are incredible and theatrical. Some photos from some of my favourite houses we spotted during our trip...</div>

You'll find pumpkins <i>everywhere!</i> On almost every corner at each greengrocers/bodegas, at the farmers market {I highly recommend Union Square Greenmarket} and as displays outside shops/restaurants - it's just part of their fall decorations and they take it very seriously. I happen to be obsessed with pumpkin spiced things so adore the Shake Shack pumpkin special at this time of year, pumpkin ice cream and all the Trader Joe's flavoured things, we had both pumpkin cereal & pumpkin waffles for breakfast. </div>

On halloween itself, we couldn't wait to see all the trick or treaters. In England, if you take part it's just going to people's doors who have a pumpkin out, but in America you go to every shop and restaurant, even places like the MAC store or estate agents will give out candy so it's a huge event for children of all ages and SO fun to see. We joined in with a parade for babies in Cobble Hill, we met in the park at 4pm and the streets were closed to traffic as everyone went around with their babies. It was crazy, and so surreal, but we loved it. The costumes were amazing, in America it's not custom to dress up as something scary like we do in England, it's basically any costume goes - and even the dogs were dressed up. Some photos below.</div>

I have a MILLION blog posts to catch up on, and I'm hoping to get our trip to NYC and a post about my breastfeeding journey so far up soon, perhaps a little Christmas gift guide too. But for now I wanted to share the best apple cake recipe I've ever made. I know we're past peak apple season now but I hope to make this throughout the year - apple cake is one of my ultimate favourites and I've searched high and low for a recipe like this! The icing is heaven too.</div>

We have a couple of small apple trees at our allotment and I normally spend a weekend afternoon each year cooking them down and prepping them for the freezer ready for the autumn/winter. This year, with a baby, I gave up on that idea but I did get round to making this cake at least. </div>

I used a bundt tin for this {the recipe states a 12 cup but with any recipe I'd recommend filling whatever tin you have 2/3 full}.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Preheat the oven to 180c and grease a cake tin with butter</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon until evenly distributed.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. In another bowl combine eggs, melted butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, vanilla and the yogurt, mix until smooth.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and use a whisk or spatula to mix until the batter is combined & even without overmixing. With a spatula, fold in the diced apples.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Bake for 50-60 minutes until a cake tester comes out clean. Let it cool on a wire rack completely before carefully removing it from the tin. {run a knife around the inside and outside of the bundt and invert onto a plate carefully}</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
6. When cool, make the icing glaze - melt the butter and maple syrup in a small pan. Remove from the heat and whisk in the icing sugar and a pinch of salt, Let it cool a little but drizzling over the cake. I left mine for a while and it almost turned into fudge! But was amazing. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then top with the chopped nuts to decorate.</div>

A few weeks ago, we held a little garden party to welcome Freya into the world. A few people asked what a welcome to the world kind of party entailed, I guess it's similar in a way to a non-religious christening? We just felt like we wanted to celebrate her with our favourite people before summer was out, or you might call it a kind of naming ceremony? Regardless, it had been a few years since we'd hosted anything now that the house/garden was all finished and it felt like a good end to the summer just as September rolled in.<br />

We ended up booking our trip to Italy the very next day! Not planned at all, but flights happened to be a lot cheaper on the Monday rather than a few days later so I had to be super organised with everything before us getting up at 4am the next day for our first holiday with a new baby. For this reason, and the fact I just didn't have as much creative energy after a few weeks without much sleep/time, I wanted to keep the decorations pretty simple. I knew I wanted a loose bee theme - after we call her baby bee - and I knew that I wanted to have lots of flowers and foliage from the garden, but then my Mum brought me back that rifle paper co garland from a trip to America which brought it all together. </div>

I ordered a plain vanilla naked cake from Bakehouse Apsley and we hired Peddling Pizzas for the catering, our favourite local pizzas which made for the easiest and most delicious food ever. {Adam is such a cool guy that we discovered on St Albans market on a Wednesday & his pizzas are better than some we've had in Italy!}.</div>

When we thought about booking our trip to the Italian Lakes, we couldn't decide between Como or Garda, so decided to visit them both! By flying into Milan, you could connect easily by train to visit them and Como is just over an hour's train ride outside of Milan towards the Swiss alps. In fact, if you stay on the train, the next stop is in Switzerland!</div>

We didn't realise quite how big Como would be, it's a long thin lake with Como down one end and then other towns to the north. We decided to stay in Varenna, because of the fact it had a train stop there so we didn't have to haul our luggage across on a ferry. And we'd read that Varenna was meant to be one of the prettiest towns. Varenna was indeed super pretty, but it was actually our least favourite town and wasn't that great with a baby compared to the others we visited. It also didn't have a good supermarket so wasn't great for self-catering - we turned up on a Saturday afternoon and suddenly realised there was only one tiny shop to buy fresh groceries, and that would be shut all day on a Sunday. </div>

Again, I'm letting the photos doing the talking with this post. Partly because I'm lacking in mental energy right now but also partly because I have a million photos to share and partly because other than getting the ferry across to some other towns, it was such a simple trip not really doing that much, just soaking up the views of the lake with this little baby so I feel bad if you're here for tonnes of restaurant recommendations or the like. I'm a bad travel blogger right now b<a href="http://www.rosesandrolltops.co.uk/2019/09/travel-tips-for-flying-travelling-with.html" target="_blank">ut I hope this post all about travel tips with a newborn will make up for it?</a></div>

Lake Como definitely grew on me. I think on the first day, we were really missing Lake Garda - we'd loved it so much and how easy it was to get around with the buggy, the ease of the supermarkets, the beautiful sunny lake that felt like the sea. Como had a really different feel, and look, to it which took some getting used to. I mean, don't get me wrong, it was incredible but just a different holiday vibe - Como I'd say is perhaps more for couples, that romantic, boutique hotel kind of feel?</div>

On our last day, we took the ferry over to Lenno for the farmer's market {and bought the most delicious figs!}, with the idea that we'd walk around to Villa del Balbianello for the morning - the views looked incredible and it had been highly recommended {they filmed some of James Bond there} but then we got there, and decided to just walk all the way along the lake to Menaggio instead to get the ferry back from there.</div>

Mennagio was again, a beautiful town, which had so much more to it than Varenna. We realised we probably would have been better staying in Mennagio or Bellagio but we were a little restricted with needing the train link from Milan. Anyway, yes definitely visit Mennagio. It was the spot where you'd most likely want to swim from too.</div>
