Milo's First High Chair

When Ella was small my Mum bought her high chair and so I had no idea how expensive they could be. When it came to buying a high chair I sure wished I'd hung on to Ella's as it was perfect. It was height adjustable so she could sit at our level in the living room, it folded to store and the tray was removable. All that was great but better still if she fell asleep in it - as they almost all do at some point - it would tilt back so she could doze in comfort. I wanted all this for Milo but it turned out the equivalent chair now costs £120!!! Needless to say I wasn't willing to pay that so after looking at a lot of inferior options I took to eBay and found this bad boy for just £20 within driving distance. We got it last week and he hasn't been out of it since. He isn't quite able to sit up himself yet but is desperate to so it enables him to sit and play or eat or just sit and he loves it! It's a nice size and all the features mean it will grow with him and last us a long time.. here's the only photo I could find of Ella in hers, it was her 1st birthday...

There are small differences between the two chairs but they are essentially the same, the new one had just been just improved upon but for those wanting to know it's a Chicco Polly and the cheapest place I've found it is Amazon - link - for £89.70

One Week Old

Today my little Milo is one week old. You could be forgiven for thinking he'd had a fortnight in the sun from the tan he's sporting but he is still brand new to us. The midwife visited today, she said his jaundice was improving, he's eating really well and he's actually put on weight which is unusual. Ordinarily it takes babies 10 days to return to their birth weight as they usually lose some in the days following their arrival but little Milo has gone from 6lbs 15oz to 7lbs 2oz in his first week so that's great. He had his heel prick blood test done too which was horrible for me to watch but he barely flinched, no tears whatsoever. He is such a good baby, it's almost like he doesn't want to trouble anyone. I can't believe he's been with us for just a week, it feels like he's been here forever.

Boots Bottle Bargain

I did mention this in a video already but for those of you that missed it I HAVE to tell you about this offer whilst it's still running.
First of all the Avent Newborn Starter Kit which includes..

• 2 x 260ml Philips AVENT Bottles
• 2 x 125ml Philips AVENT Bottles
• 2 x Philips AVENT Newborn Teats
• 1 x Philips AVENT Newborn Soother
• 1 x Philips AVENT Brush

Should be £25 but is currently HALF PRICE at just £12.50 

and secondly The Avent Feeding Bottle Twin Pack in Blue (or pink FYI)  is £6.13 down from £9.19.

At that price I had to buy two... obviously! There are tons of other great deals on feeding and Mother and Baby in general online and in store right now but these are the ones I bought so I thought I would share. For those interested I hope you snap them up in time. 

I now have a totally of 12 bottles due to my impulse purchase but 4 of them are the 125mls so they won't stay in rotation for long. They say you need a minimum of 6 for a newborn so I figure this way we'll never be without clean bottles.. it's just a precaution, you understand!

Have you spotted any fab baby deals recently? It seems it's baby season, lots of stores have offers on... great timing for me :)
