When is it realistic to think a child can night wean and some tips on this.
Is there an optimal time to consider weaning our bubs?
How can we minimise the guilt when we’re completely touched out but bub still wants to feed on the boob?
Is there anything we can do in the lead up to weaning to minimise post-weaning anxiety and depression?
Practical tips for women who would like to wean an older child?
If our bub is over 12 months, is it necessary to replace a feed with a bottle?
Let’s talk about bottle weaning!!!

This episode of Beyond the Bump is brought to you by Hello Fresh:
If there is one thing as a parent that drives me mad (besides the washing, stepping on LEGO and many other things) it’s weekly meal planning!

I totally agree with you on this! Hence when Nick isn’t doing the cooking in our house, I order Hellofresh which provides me with quick recipes and simple step by step instructions!

Genius! For those that don’t know, Hellofresh is a delivery service that my family have been using on and off for years. We used it post baby, around Christmas time and just ordinary weeks to make life easier.

Hellofresh delivers to your door and even those who claim they can't cook to save themselves *cough my husband, take over dinner time because HelloFresh have made it that easy to follow!

Not only is it easy for adults, they have recently introduced a section on the family friendly meal cards called “little cooks” making smaller kids feel big by giving them instructions to help parents stir the sauce or crumb the chicken!!

Not sure if that makes the cooking process more enjoyable or more painful but the option is there!!

There are over 38 different recipes to choose from per week and the meals are ready in less than 25 minutes. (Depending on who is helping)
