• Read books, be informed but pick one person you trust to give you advice.
• Glycerine helps some babies take a dummy for those tender moments.
• If your baby rejects a spoon when feeding solids, use your finger.
• Fill an empty Berocca C tube with dried beans, it’s great as a shaker.
• A “Peek-a-boob” or a “Hide and Feed” is great for breastfeeding in public.
• Steamers make putrity making a breeze.
• Just as with introducing foods, books are the same. Stick with one book for a while at the start.
• Avent Isis is a really good breast pump.
• Ashton and Parsons powders help with teething gripes.
• Tender breasts (and I don’t mean chicken) try using fissan’s baby bum cream.
• Back to sleep, tummy to play.
