If you're expecting another baby it's a good idea to encourage your toddler to play with smaller toys on play tables or coffee tables as your baby will start rolling and reaching after a few months.

One of the mums at my 2nd baby classes this week recommended the stories on the Calm app for helping her toddler get to sleep. There’s over 30 to choose from and they’re spoken in a way to calm and send your little one off to sleep (she said she’s got to be careful not to fall asleep too!) www.facebook.com/calm/

Being a mum is different to how I thought it would be. You can work your way through all your emotions in 24hrs, from laughter to tears and frustration to pride. It's the hardest job yet the most fulfilling. Happy Mother's Day to all those who are trying their best today and always. You are truly amazing Xx

Lune + Wild are a fabulous new company who provide delicious meals for babies and toddlers using organic, carefully sourced ingredients. With their inspiring recipes, they help you introduce a range of new veg, including celeriac, kale and spring greens, yum..

Hello from Lara, co-founder and chef of Lune + Wild! I thought I’d answer some questions I’ve received...
What inspired Lune + Wild?
The arrival of my niece Eve and nephew Wilfred was definitely the catalyst. My cousin and I were struck by the lack of nutritious, flavoursome and sustainable baby food brands on the market. We saw the need for better choices for parents to have support without compromises. I love food, for it’s role in our everyday health and happiness. Being a part of a child’s first tastes and helping to introduce delicious, nourishing food is the most exciting responsibility.
Where did you learn to cook?
I trained at before starting as a commis chef at in 2012. The beauty of cooking is that you simply never stop learning. I have been lucky to work in many places around the world with incredible, passionate people who have each taught me something. My latest position at was particularly special for reinstating my respect for fresh ingredients as we worked with the produce from the estate’s kitchen gardens.
What’s your favourite Winter ingredient?
For its majestic beauty, the January King Cabbage though really, it’s the Brussel Sprout. Firstly I think their tiny, intricate structure is mind-blowing but also their versatility in eating. They are amazing shaved into a winter slaw with Apple cider vinegar dressing and shredded cabbage or roasted til crisp and caramelised. Being the nation’s least favourite veg, I was determined to make them a key ingredient in the Bubble + Squeak to give them a chance to be loved!
What’s the dream with Lune + Wild?
We want to help raise curious and confident eaters without costing the planet. We recognise the importance of building a healthy relationship with food for physical and emotional well-being in later life. Our dream is to reach more children, and create a generation of explorative eaters by making healthy and delicious synonymous.
Keep the questions coming and I’ll answer soon! Lara x
