Food cravings, we've all heard the stories, laughed at them, at the thought of our partner wanting jelly and pickle in the middle of the night. Well guess what. They're true.
First Time Mum wants garlic. She craves garlic. Baby wants garlic. Garlic bread, garlic in spaghetti bolognaise, raw cloves of garlic.
I'm not a doctor (as Alanis Morisette once said), I am also not a nutritionist. But I am fairly certain that Baby doesn't actually want garlic, baby want something found in garlic. So tappety-tap, the internet is your friend. Sure enough I come across some factual information/something someone made up for a laugh, about the stuff in garlic. Luckily for First Time Mum, me, baby, and anyone who sits remotely near First Time Mum... apparently the same 'stuff' can be found in celery. Let's try celery sticks instead.
This diary entry spans a few days actually, and the cravings have now moved on. First Time Mum proudly announced tonight... "Baby wants Bacon". Bacon? but First Time Mum doesn't like bacon. "Baby wants bacon". Fair enough. I'm a bacon loving man. If that's what baby wants, then that's what baby shall have. Two orders of Bacon, eggs, waffles, beans and toast coming up. That is definitely my child.
