As someone who likes to leave an age gap between her children, by the time it comes to have the next one I have completely forgotten everything about the baby years. With Roo, I read everything I could get my hands on. All the books, magazines and those annoying baby update emails you get from every brand under the sun. By the time I had Tigger, I relaxed and hoped that it would all come flooding back, which for the most part did. With a five year age gap with Piglet, I had completely forgotten everything. Even now I still feel like a new mum, looking up the same questions and ailments.
Thankfully I have the new baby and children’s health books from Dr Dawn Harper, which are guiding me through Piglet’s first year and give me hope for the toddler years.
