This being our second baby I’ve been a teeny, tiny bit wiser to a few things… and a bit slacker on other things! I’ve thrown out all the normal baby books for one and let baby lead the way, so much easier, he naturally showed me his routine. I also bypassed the puree route and […]

Oily fish is something that I’m trying to get my family to eat more of. So I was almost too excited when I came across a huge range of tinned fish in our local Polish delicatassen. To be fair I can’t read Polish but it’s quite easy to work out words like Mackerel and Sardines!
