Shanghai Mama

Mothering lately has had its challenges, I think it will always have but the trick is using these challenges as another opportunity to learn about myself, work at what we like to call “issues” in my life, it’s all yoga really!

Updates…
After a lot of indecision and trying out some pureed food and spoon feeding I decided to stick with BLW (baby-led weaning). I’m feeling more convinced about my choice and hav e found an excellent blog that inspired me to keep going. Maybe is just me being positive but Theo seems to eat a lot more, it’s still all about getting him at the right time but think it’s a really good idea and anyhow even with the spoon he wants to grab food off the spoon and play with spoon so looks like he’s making the decisions here.

Sleeping is not really going too well, not sure what it is. I’m still partially co-sleeping, as in Theo spends some time in his cot (which is by my bed) and most of the time in bed with us. The only thing I don’t understand about co-sleeping is that you clearly need a bigger beg and I thought that the whole idea was to sleep… he still wakes up loads..

I was just checking out the Shanghaimamas group (really wish I had chosen a different name for my blog as so many people get us confused… if only i had discovered it before i bought my url…anyhow it’s a great group and always read great stuff on it, well done shanghai mamas!!) and found out about this great site about bringing up babies diaper free, it is so cool!! I was toying with the idea and had already asked my ayi how she did it… Might try it out from tomorrow, would be great to not have to wash poo off the diapers, and is surely the most eco way out there.

Off to get some mummy time or maybe write up more posts on info I gathered recently… wish I had more time for this site..
