We're curious, what's your favourite cold weather meal? The one food you turn to that instantly warms you up? For Jack, it's a pie... For Gabby it's a hearty mushroom soup! How about you? Thank you for watching this week! It's been a chilly few days on board but the fire is keeping us toasty. If you enjoyed this video and would like to buy us a coffee, that would be so kind!

Dear Jack, Gabby and baby, I can't express how much I appreciate your determination for making a go of narrowboat life and with a baby in tow. Having lived in a rural part of British Columbia, relying on wood heat exclusively, the secret to keeping warm is to keep the wood stove going, haha I know. Seriously wood heat will dry the air out in the cabin faster than anything and by getting rid of the damp one feels warmer. Damp air always feels colder than dry air. Keep up the GREAT work with the videos. Mark Alberta, Canada (just had a spell of -30 and -40)

That and just the rapid growth needs so much nourishment! Hang in there Gabby, it's tiring but so worth it for long term health for Jo! You might be interested in two other channels that both have youngsters and a similar mindset to yourselves, Free Range Homestead and Mossy Bottom. Not narrowboaters but worth a look ... I think you'd like them. Take care lovely people!

You probably know this already..but having had four stoves (one being a relatively new , good German maker and 18 months old) the chimney area had a tiny leak (found by Heatas engineer when it was too late..after the annual chimney cleaning -and before fire was lit for season- so leak was missed ‘cos leak was next to impossible to find) Get a carbon monoxide alarm installed. Husband and I ended up a week in hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning (which we thought was ‘flu!!! The stove was condemned by fire dept., We were told to get alarms fit but we lived to tell the tale…and rest of village folk got alarms installed immediatly. Just a friendly reminder.

Just a bit of advice take it or leave it but while little man is asleep lay him down. I had my 3rd son in my arms so much that he was like a piece of velcro until he went to school.

re the coal, have you tried Lektofuel Night Briquettes?

Just thought it worth mentioning. On another note, totally love your boat and aesthetic choices, absolutely dreamy!

How adorabel your Joubert is and I am sure he will love your expertly crafted mobile. Re his night sleeping, I notice you hold him when he is sleeping during the day, he would be soothed by your heartbeat, your body warmth and firm hold so at night mimic that in his cot. Swaddle him firmly before you put him down, you can buy a device that has a heartbeat sound that would do the trick, also babies love whitenoise, it mimics the sound in utero search white noise for babies online, another trick is to fill a large glove with wheat, sago or whatever you have, fill it just enough so that it is floppy then fix it firmly at the opening and lay it on him, this mimics your firm hold when carrying him. I have worked with wee ones for many years and found tricks that would help them sleep. ❤ When he is having a growth spurt he will want to feed more often. This usually occurs 1 to 3 weeks, 6 to 8 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months. Happy parenting and enjoying you little darling.
