I feel like there is a lot going on in my head as I prepare to become a mum for the 2nd time. I wanted to jot down a few things to remember as I enter into motherhood for the second time.

Having recently turned 15 months you are now more aware of your little mind than ever. A very determined, confident and sassy young girl and we are loving getting to know you more and more.
One topic I’d like to cover is something we get asked again and again.
‘ Toys to take for your child when space is limited, to keep your child entertained and you sane (!!) on days when we’re not ‘on a day out.‘

Van life is something we have fantasised for a long time. Visions of us all packed inside a van with epic views greeting us round every corner, campfires every night and sunshine streaming in. The reality was somewhat less like a fairytale but every bit as epic!

One item that’s been essential for Mila is her SplashAbout Float Swimsuit. We have had this swimsuit since she turned 1 but it’s really come into use since she turned 18 months. She is now understanding and learning to trust the floats and for the first time tried swimming solo without holding our hands. Throughout our trip to the Maldives she continued to build up her confidence and is now comfortable swimming in the pool and ocean on her own, with the support of her float suit.

Don’t get me wrong our first year as parents had many ups and downs, perhaps the hardest of all was sleep training. I read MANY articles and took much advice before, very naively I now know, entering into the training. I was led hook, line and sinker into the fact that sleep training takes on average 5 nights.

Mila is a ‘Covid baby’, I hate that phrase for all its connotations, but the reality that she was born in that time frame is true. We had a base in Dubai as we weren’t able to travel lots and so it meant for a good chunk of her first year I would be stationary. As a first time mum, living abroad with no other friends close by with children, I really felt like I was entering into motherhood on my own in a way. I wanted to try and find a circle of other mums that were first-timers like I was. I knew about baby sensory classes and thought this could be a great place to start.

Stroller
This is something we are always grateful we have. Being able to take your stroller on to the plane as hand luggage means you have the option to keep your stroller with you up until you board. But what is possibly even better is the fact you have the stroller on hand immediately after you depart the plane. Great if your child is asleep or if you have a long walk to the passport control/baggage collection.

Our trip to the Seychelles spiked a lot of questions and interest from followers wondering how we managed the trip with Mila. Mila just turn 1 so we have settled into quite a good routine by now. She has 2 naps a day, she has now switched over to full fat milk rather than formula and can walk (which has its pros and cons ha!)
