Everybody likes a good finger food recipe and these sweetcorn fritters are a great way to get your little one used to veggies that otherwise he might not be as keen to try. Be sure to read all the way to the end, as I have a little time-saving trick for you to try. Nobody likes to sit near a frying pan for too long, right?

best highchair for baby led weaning

Oh, the highchair: that first purchase that really matters when it comes to weaning. It is the place where your baby will spend quite a lot of time after 6 months of age until around…. well, until he figures out how to jump out of it I guess! It’s kind of like baby’s ‘first car’, that first purchase that gives him an identity, that he can ‘use’ to see the world differently and from another level.

how to teach baby to drink water from a cup

Read on if you want to know which cup we decided it was the best for our baby, when to offer water and how to teach a baby to drink water from a cup in 4 easy steps that worked for us!

by
blueberry galette

I love how the French take something simple like a blueberry pie and turn it into a blueberry galette, which looks so rustic, yet so delicious. And you know it’s going to taste good, even before you take a bite. The blueberries on top can be easily replaced with other berries of your fancy (or others, like peach, rhubarb, plums etc) and the dough is slightly crumbly, but manageable by tiny hands. It’s a type of shortcrust pastry, if you wish, so feel free to adapt the recipe if you have a shortcrust combination of ingredients that works for you. This recipe … Read more

Like never.   Give them bread, give them muffins, give them all kinds of baked foods that look like bread and you’ll be fine.   Especially give them pancakes. PIN IT FOR LATER     I know there’s the two ingredient pancake recipe floating around the internet like crazy, but I heard that parents have trouble with that simple recipe as well.
