Little B has an egg allergy, so it was with some trepidation that I approached the ‘hard boiled egg’ advice in the NHS weaning handbook when it came to introducing them to Littler B.  They’re so alike in looks that I sort of expect them to be alike in all other ways, including allergies.  And it turns out, I was right – mushed up hard boiled egg all over the floor…

As you can see from the pictures, I had bypassed the usual plastic bowl/Tupperware container/beaker and used a mug.  I have a set of 6 of these mugs.  I bought them from Habitat when I worked in their cookware department 17 years ago.  17 years!  I’ve moved house 4 times with them.  They’re lovely mugs to drink from, and a classic design.  Now I have 5.  Sad face emoji.

Goodbye lovely mug, you served me well.

On the plus side, the baby doesn’t seem to be allergic to eggs.  Though it’s hard to tell as she bokes up all the time anyway…
