    Nick Nairn Cook School – The Perfect Steak

    September 13, 2014 /

    Last Saturday, we spent the evening at Nick Nairn Cook School in Aberdeen. The smells drifting down from the upstairs classrooms when we walked in to the school set our stomachs rumbling before our class even started!The class began with a glass of wine for everybody and then we settled down to watch the chef cook ‘The Perfect Steak‘. He talked us through each step and gave us lots of good tips and interesting facts, about the meat to choose, what sort of pans to use and how long to cook the meat.

Feeding Harris at 5 months old (3 months corrected Feeding Harris at 5 months old (3 months corrected), at the park while Dylan played. It was around now that I started to feel like a "normal" breastfeeding Mum.We'd gotten through NICU, tube feeds and the gruelling pumping schedule. I had finally stopped pumping to try and increase my low supply due to IGT. He was still getting formula top ups at this point but I'd made my peace with the fact that he'd never be exclusively breastfed.For so long I felt ashamed that I wasn't able to exclusively breastfeed either of my children, but I've finally accepted that I did my best and they are happy and healthy which is all that matters.Harris is still going strong at 11 months and he's not showing signs of wanting to stop breastfeeding yet! I've loved feeding both of my boys, it's been well worth all of the challenges โค๏ธ#thebooblife #breastfeeding #breastfeedinglowsupply #breastfeedingnicu #tubefed #ngtube #neonatalunit #neonatalunitfeeding #igt #breastfeedingigt #lowsupply #lowsupplymum #mumofboys #mumblogger #mummyblogger
