The good news is that Bella has gone to the back paddock. She will now have some adult company and a bit of space.

The bad news is that Bella has gone to the back paddock so we can wean Ember. It's going to be a noisy few days.

What a beautiful clever girl you’re growing into

I was excited to have you back at home to play, relax and enjoy your home – the space that’s all yours since before you were born.

I prepped our lunch in advance of collecting you from City Square station so we could have the most time together.

Straight after travelling an hour on the train, I take you back on transport, fortunately not too far. Your precious little self is in a good mood usually, so I can give you cuddles in the warmth soon after collecting you.

At home

It’s a usual cold January, so being outside in the low temperature and damp, isn’t much fun. I try to make home as enjoyable as possible for you, including giving you the chance to explore.

You’re developing a huge amount at the moment, you can now comprehend lots of things and you have a very helpful spirit about you.

Last time you were home you spilt some water and got the kitchen towel to clean up.

Today I asked for help taking the high chair legs from the cupboard over to the kitchen and you enthusiastically cooperated. When I changed your nappy then asked you to take it over to the bin, you gladly helped. I was pleasantly surprised how well you’re understanding things.

I still can’t get my head around the reality you’re not a docile baby anymore.

A walk around the city lake

After lunch and play time we went for a walk around the neighbourhood. I made sure you were wrapped up super cosy.

It breaks my heart to see other families together. I’m grateful for the moment but I wish things were better for us.

Before heading back to the station I gave you some snacks.

There are so many videos online of babies trying different fruits and their reactions – I know you’ve tried lots already, so that first time experience isn’t there, but at the least it’s a first for us.

Your sweet nature

On the train back to City Square station I noticed you were trying to give Spot some water. Isn’t it funny that as you grow your maternal nature comes out.

As you grow, there’ll be lots of last times too

It was the last time I gave you formula. Things are moving really fast, before I know it you won’t need me to put your shoes on as well as all the other things I enjoy helping you with.

The early months of your life were taken from me. I’d do anything to have them now, they’re fast becoming lost to the past.

Desmame

O desmame é a introdução gradual de alimentos sólidos na dieta do bebê junto com o leite. Comece com purês suaves e progrida para alimentos mais texturizados. Seja paciente, comece devagar, seja criativo, envolva a família e promova a autoalimentação. Consulte o pediatra para determinar a prontidão do bebê. O leite materno ou fórmula deve continuar a ser uma parte importante da dieta e introduza alimentos alergênicos com cui
