Sponsored Post¦ I am desperate to go on holiday. After almost 2 years of being in Kent, I am itching to get elsewhere and explore. Over the last couple of weeks, my brother, parents and best friend have all been to Cornwall. While I’ve really enjoyed seeing their photos and hearing about their holidays, I can’t help but be envious. I used to go to Cornwall every summer growing up and can’t wait to take my family to visit! We did take Autumn for a quick three day visit in 2018, but it wasn’t enough for me. With prices going up, my chances of going any time soon rest with camping or perhaps I could stay at cheap caravans in Cornwall. Either way, here are some reasons I want to visit Cornwall with my family!

Celebrating 6 months of breastfeeding Reuben
Hooray, it’s World Breastfeeding Week! I thought this was the perfect opportunity to share some photos from the milk bath I did with Reuben a few weeks ago. In breastfeeding circles, it has become quite popular to give your baby a milk bath to celebrate 6 months of breastfeeding. It’s a cute trend, so I wanted us to join in on the fun! Of course, you don’t need to be breastfeeding to join in – you can just use a different kind of milk.
How Can I Create a Safe Bedroom?
Collaborative Post¦ Keeping your children safe is at the forefront of every parent’s mind. While you may take steps to increase their safety when out and about, such as the use of a seatbelt, or learning to cross the road safely, you may also need to consider anything that might pose a danger within the home. Even your child’s bedroom could potentially hold items that could lead to harm. By considering these thoroughly, you may be able to give them a safe, personal space that they can enjoy.
Caught in the wave of bronchiolitis
TW: Hospitalisation of baby, mention of anxiety¦ Well, this is a first. I’m beginning to write this post from a hospital bed. Thankfully, I’m writing in the knowledge that everything seems to be fine now. Bronchiolitis is really common in babies in the autumn and winter. However, the nurses here have told me that thanks to lockdown last winter, the usual wave of cases coming in didn’t really happen. I actually read a news article last week saying that due to a combination of that and people now mingling, lots of babies are now catching respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), the virus responsible for it and hospitalisations are rising. According to Public Health England, over 60% of children have been infected with it by their first birthday. This rises to over 80% by 2 years of age. For most, it is a mild illness but some require hospitalisation. Unfortunately for us, Reuben was one of them.
