Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump with Calma Teat
The Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump with Calma Teat is BPA free, lightweight and portable for when you’re out and about or travelling.
It uses a 2-phase expression technology that is alike to a baby when breastfeeding which mimics the natural sucking rhythm of the baby with short, stimulating movements followed by longer, more intensive ones to ensure an optimal milkflow.
This gives you faster let-down and maximum milkflow which significantly reduces pumping time, so you can express more milk in less time and more comfortably.
The Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump with Calma Teat is the best manual breast pump you can buy.
If you’re looking for a breast pump that’s ideal for occasional or frequent use the Medela Swing Breast Pump with Calma Teat makes expressing quick, easy and suitable for everyday.
The Medela Harmony Breast Pump won the Practical Parenting & Pregnancy Gold Award for Best Manual Breast Pump 2011 / 2012.
Bibetta Bibs the Best Baby Bibs
I’ve spent a lot of time and money on bibs for my baby. There are so many to choose from in different designs, colours and materials. Finally I discovered Bibetta Ultrabibs which are truly the best baby bibs and I’ve never looked back.
Bibetta Ultrabibs are made from neoprene (the same durable material wetsuits are made from) and are waterproof, absorbent, flexible, stain-resistant and wipe clean.
They’re quick-drying and safe to put in the washing machine and tumble drier plus the material is so soft it doesn’t rub on your baby’s delicate neck area.
Bibetta Ultrabibs feature a unique reversible pocket which gives a catch-all bib option, perfect for weaning you baby.
They come in sizes from 4 months to 4 years so your baby can really make the most of their fun mealtime experiences.
Riverford Veg Box Review
We have been feasting on the freshest and tastiest organic fruit and veg this week, thanks to Riverford.
Our Riverford fruit box and veg box surpassed all expectations. The boxes provide a diverse and plentiful supply of fruit and veg to snack on and to turn into culinary delights for all the family.
Riverford began a delivery service around 25 years ago when Guy Watson, founder and owner of Riverford farm in Devon, started delivering fruit and veg boxes to his local friends.
Today Riverford delivers around 40,000 boxes a week to homes across the UK from their regional farms located in Cambridgeshire, Yorkshire and Hampshire. As well as organic fruit and veg, Riverford also produce organic food essentials such as meat, cheese, eggs, bread and cereals.
The taste and freshness of the fruit and veg was second to none. I usually buy organic veg from two of the major UK supermarkets and I can say there’s no comparison with Riverford’s produce. There’s something about eating fruit and veg that’s just been picked, with no cold storage involved and minimal transportation.
We really liked the addition of the Riverford Recipes fold-out card in the boxes. These contain delicious recipes for using with the fresh produce included in the box and can be kept in a recipe folder for future reference.
Our family has enjoyed some great meals using the veg box ingredients, along with a hearty Leek and Potato Soup and a no-pastry Pumpkin, Sprouting Broccoli and Leek Quiche.
We’re making the most of the fresh organic fruit, eating it with our breakfast, throughout the day as healthy snacks and in the evening chopped up roughly as a fresh fruit salad.
For a great family day out, you can take the children to visit Riverford farm and see where the veg is grown. While you’re there you can enjoy freshly cooked produce at the Riverford Field Kitchen restaurant which is open daily.
Riverford’s fruit and vegetables were delivered to my door by our Riverford local vegman who delivers the veg on a set day to maximise efficiency and reduce food miles.
The fruit and veg were wonderfully presented in boxes, looking so good I wanted to try them immediately.
Why not try a Riverford veg box for you and your family, delivery is free with all Riverford box orders.
