Embracing the messy, mundane & momentous
This red lentil and vegetable puree fast become one of Miss I’s most popular baby meals. I introduced this at around 6 months, as lentils are a great source of plant protein. Now that she’s 8 months old and can manage more textured foods, I don’t puree it smooth, rather I leave some lumpy bits….
Here is a funny (read: cruel) fact: The more sleep I need, the less I seem to get! And I can’t blame this entirely on my baby, though she certainly wreaked havoc with it in the early months. It’s more my mind that is to blame. That, and my latest Nordic noir binge on Netflix!…

Have you ever wondered what life is like for a 6-month-old baby? Well, I am here to tell you, although my interpretation of events might differ from my mama’s. What I find fun, she seems to find frustrating. My hobbies include cluster feeding, nipple biting, putting Lego pieces in my mouth, and, my personal favourite…
