This set comprises a quilt, quilt cover, white sheet topped with matching fabric, and a wheatie bag. I love this set cos its gentle and calming and could be for either a boy or girl. Not sure yet if I will sell this one or keep it for the superbaby.

Supermama informed me before he was born that she needed 4 quilts and covers. I was gobsmacked and inquired about the logic behind it. Her response was: 1 on the cot, one in the wash or in the cupboard, one at mine and one at her dad's - where they go once a week, every week for dinner. Makes sense really. I have done two and she has them, this one might have to be the I keep, and not quite sure about the last one.

More pics of the Studio 104 animal boards coming tomorrow, hopefully.

Well, we survived! Tristansuperbaby came to stay the weekend just gone and it was an experience. I have to say that I HATE the capsules that babies have to be stuffed into for vehicle travel these days. I have yet to see one that allows the baby to lie flat when sleeping or stretch when it wants to. When I had babies, I could put a harness on them and then "d-clip" the harness to the bottom of the carrycot part of the pram. I then seat-belted the carrycot into the car. They slept flat, travelled flat and were perfectly safe.

Anyway, he came, he stayed, and I love him more and more every day. He's so cute and smiley and he blew his great Granny's mind by wriggling in a 45 degree arc on his tummy at her place on Sunday - our superbaby is only 5 weeks old! The pic is Tristan superbaby with his Dad, just before getting on the train with me.

He did have a bit of an issue with wind, so I made up the same herbal recipe that my plunket nurse gave me 25 years ago:

1 tspn caraway seed
1 tspn sugar
1 cup cold water.

Combine all the ingredients in a pot and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 mins then strain and chill. Administer up to 5 mls before each feed. For severe cases, use between sides for breastfed babies and approx half way through a formula feed.
It works, without upsetting baby's tummy and Tristan stopped spitting up any excess.
