As most of you probably know, alongside weaning comes another challenge, getting your LO off their bottle and onto a sippy cup. Sounds simple eh? It couldn’t be further from it!!

And so…let the weaning commence! I’s certainly been a fun few days introducing my LO to all sorts of different fruits and vegetables – her first tastes.
