Manduca Carrier Review
I've heard amazing things about the German-made Manduca carrier over the years but when Lachie was eight months old, I discovered its many benefits for myself. I had been using a Hug-a-bub wrap, then a ring sling from the same brand, wearing him every day. He was getting a little wriggly and a little heavy… Continue reading Manduca Carrier Review

Review: Madame Polly Nappy Bag by Isoki!
Meet Madame Polly! She's my trusty and pretty tag-along wherever I roam.

Access All Areas: Organic Cotton Crew Neck Dress by Mothers En Vogue
Fashions and styles have changed drastically since I first started breastfeeding back in 2009. I've usually favoured two-piece outfits (top plus jeans/skirt) for comfort and accessibility. I recently realised I've really missed wearing dresses. It's near impossible to breastfeed in most regular dresses. You either have to hoist them up, exposing everything from your knees… Continue reading Access All Areas: Organic Cotton Crew Neck Dress by Mothers En Vogue

Tools for Mothering: Twistshake Anti-Colic Baby BottleĀ
Recently I received a bottle from Twistshake to review. I've been trying out a few (big brand) bottles I've bought in local stores, without any success.

Look what the postman brought today!!! Image credit A friend from mothers' group, J, suggestedĀ Rosie and IĀ get ourselves a silicone necklace after we chatted about our scratching/pulling/twisting issueĀ (the premise is, I wear it during feeds, and she can play with that instead of assaulting my person).
