My journey through motherhood is somewhat similar but different the second time round and after breastfeeding my daughter for four months I knew that I wanted to to try and do the same with my son who is now 12 weeks old. Combination feeding was how I got through the first few months as it meant my husband could also assist with the feeds. We decided to use the anti-colic MAM bottles this time round as we loved them so much a few year ago when we used them for my daughter!
Whilst being at home for so long over the last few months we decided to create a fun cosy space for Ella to enjoy and explore. I’ve always loved the idea of a cosy play area in Ella’s room, somewhere she can hide and have as her own little sanctuary and this canvas teepee by Petite Amelie definitely does just that. Petite Amelie sell the most beautiful accessories for your nursery and playroom, I just love everything on their website! When the teepee arrived it was flat packed and very easy to assemble, within 5 minutes it was ready to use. You should have seen Ella’s face when she saw the teepee, she was so excited! 
We are well and truly in lockdown mode and have been now for several weeks! For anyone stuck at home with a baby or toddler I know how difficult it is at times, we are all in this together so I thought what better time to share some activities to enjoy with your little ones whilst at home to keep them occupied (even if it is just for 10 minutes!)
Since having Ella 11 months ago (can’t quite believe how quickly it has gone!) I have tried out many baby classes and Hartbeeps was definitely a favourite of ours. The classes that I attended with my little girl in Manchester is ran by the lovely Nikitta who is just so great with interacting with the babies, has a genuine passion for the programme and we definitely had lots of fun!
