READY, STEADY, WEAN!
I’m delighted and dismayed in equal measure that Heidi-Bum is now officially ready to wean (where has the time gone?). I remember this all too well with Dexie (above)!
Heidi be joining a whole host of other bloggers following Cow & Gate’s brand new 5 step weaning plan that will guide us through introducing first spoonfuls to establishing 3 meals a day. Their new plan will be completely tailored to Heidi, offer tons of recipes, allow us to track her likes & dislikes, as well as getting fab money off coupons to help us trial as many pre-made yummy concoctions as we can.
The online plan has been created by the team of expert nutritionists and baby feeding advisors at Cow & Gate, offering top tips, advice and simple recipes. I figure they know what they’re doing - The team at Cow & Gate have been helping mums feed their babies for 110 years!

We’ll be filming the adventure on a brand new shiny GoPro and sharing the footage with you all. It’s hoped we can get all those hilarious ‘food faces’ on film, and help other mums cope with the big W and all the stresses and tribulations that goes with it.
By way of introduction to the program, Cow & Gate have teamed up with Tots100 and my buddy Colette from Going on an Adventure for an awesome #5StepWeaning Twitter Party! Simply by sharing your own experiences of weaning (both past and present) you could win some fab prizes.
