21.01.2022 *potential trigger warning* We are half way through Birth Trauma Week 2020. Seeing my feed flooded with others experiences during birth makes my heart ache and has prompted me to reflect on my own birth journeys yet again. Those of you that have been following me for some time may be aware that I am a 3 x csection mumma. I had 3 LONG labour’s and experienced some pretty horrendous treatment from health care professionals that did not approve of my choices.... In preparation for my VBA2C attempt with my 3rd baby I obtained my birth records for my previous births so that I could unpack the trauma I experienced. Just reading the notes from my first birth was enough to reduce me to tears. It is noted in my file that I had an anxiety attack while in labour, what is not written there is that the midwife tried to break my waters 3 times, each time turning up the gas because I was screaming in pain (as my waters had broken 12 hours prior but they were convinced they weren't fully broken) it was after the 3rd time I would not consent for them to do it again but they kept pushing and pressuring me but I wouldn't give in, I had an anxiety attack from being pressured into something that was painful and that I did not feel comfortable with. It's also all over my notes that my mood after delivery was depressed, I reported feeling like a failure. baby taken to nursery so patient can rest but patient turned up to nursery distressed. Drs notes expressing concerns of Severe PND. This kept happening for 5 DAYS! I don't get why if they knew I was having signs of PND and turning up to the nursery when Bub was taken away why didn't someone think hey! Maybe she needs to be with her baby!? Maybe she needs help bonding rather than we keep separating her? I was not "officially diagnosed" with PND Until 18 months after the birth. It also noted that both of my csections were class 3 indicating no signs of distress to myself or to Bub. Confirmation of what I thought all along. I’ve had 3 unnecessary Caesarians. I was a victim of obstetric abuse Sadly, I am not alone..... #birthtraumaweek2020 #informedconsent #birthrightsarehumanrights #maternalrights #birthprep

12.01.2022 Take fairy bread to the next level with novelty sandwich cutters! I recall getting so excited over fairy bread as a child now when I think of eating it I can’t help but think how gross it is! I think it’s the sort of thing you either love or hate. Do you or your kids like fairy bread?

12.01.2022 This is your weekly reminder that #youmattertoo As parents it is easy to get caught up in the business of life and out everyone first. Try to make yourself a priority every now and again and do something for yourself.... Something as simple as a solo walk, painting your nails, attending a gym class or a workshop, reading a book, crafting. What is something you enjoy doing that has taken a backseat? Do that! Drop a comment below once you’ve completed you task! I want to hear how you’ve treated yourself today :)

11.01.2022 Ring Slings are my top recomendation for summer babywearing for a few reasons: - One shouldered carrier allowing for more airflow - One thin layer of fabric - Linen fabric is breathable... - worn off centre - super easy to pop on and off Australian Summer + baby's body heat + your body heat + clothing + baby carrier = HOT It is important to remember that regardless of what carrier you use, wearing your baby in a carrier is going to be hot! Be sure to dress appropriately, hydrate and monitor your baby at all times. Shop our range of ring slings here: https://www.bangoonbaby.com.au/collections/ring-slings

11.01.2022 During pregnancy health care providers will often ask if you intend to breast or bottle feed. It is a great idea to think about your feeding intentions during pregnancy so that you can educate yourself before bub is born. You'll also hear phrases such as: "Breast is best" "Fed is Best"... Here at Bangoon Baby we support the notion that "Informed and Supported is Best" Breastfeeding is a relationship between mother and child. It is also a learned skill and does not always come easily. Some babies will instinctively latch straight away. Others require more support. There may also be medical or personal reasons that prevent breastfeeding. My first baby was bottle-fed from birth due to a combination of medical complications at birth, lack of support, PND, lack of education around breastfeeding, and I strongly suspect an undiagnosed tongue-tie. I was a lot more educated the 2nd time around and received amazing support post-birth and therefore our experience was VASTLY different! Breast is best IF it is in the best interest of Mum and bubs physical and mental health. There is absolutely no shame in whatever method you choose. Just take the time to make the decision for yourself and not allow others to influence your decision. #bangoonbaby #liquidgold #breastmilk #breastmilkmagic #breastmilkfixeseverything #mumlife #normalisebreastfeeding #breastfeedingtoddler #normaliseextendedbreastfeeding #informedandsupportedisbest #breastisbest #fedisbest #normalisefulltermbreastfeeding #4thtrimester #fourthtrimester #postnatal #postpartum #oxytocin #oxytocinvibes #milkymumma #boobsareforbabies #penrithnsw #penrithmums #naturalparenting #attachmentparenting

10.01.2022 ~ NEW PRODUCT ALERT ~ Antenatal Expressing is the act of manually expressing breastmilk during pregnancy. The expressed milk is then refrigerated or frozen and may be used to feed your baby after birth. While some babies latch directly to the breast after birth there may be instances that this is not possible. This is when having prepared expressed colostrum can be helpful! Situations where expressed colostrum can be beneficial include but not limited to:... -Cesarean or Complicated Birth - Mothers may be separated for some time after surgery/birth while they recover. It can be helpful to offer expressed colostrum after birth until baby and mother can be united and breastfeeding established. Diabetes - Colustum after birth can help stabilise a baby's blood sugar levels Premature baby or other health complications - Sometimes babies are born with health conditions that prevent them from latching to the breast afterbirth. Having expressed milk on hand prevents the need for formula until baby is able to latch to the breast. This easy & convenient kit contains everything you need to express and store your liquid gold ready for the arrival of your new little bundle. Make sure to check with your health care provider if antenatal expressing is safe/recommended for you. https://www.bangoonbaby.com.au/collections/made-to-milk #bangoonbaby #madetomilk #antenatalexpressing #colostrum #expressedmilk #expressedcolostrum #breastfeedingjourney #birthpreparation #birthprep #liquidgold #colostrummilk #breastfeeding #naturalparenting #attachmentparenting #pregnancy #4thtrimester #3rdtrimester #penrithmums #aussiemums #afterpayavailable #hawkesburylifestyle #breastfeedingmum #doulasofinstagram #doulalife

10.01.2022 As an anxiety sufferer I find it very difficult to step outside of my comfort zone even when I want to. A great example of this was yesterday. All of my children were at school and I had a rare day to be child free for a few hours. I planned to utlise this time by heading to the gym in the morning which is something I have been wanting to get back into for a long time. Despite genuinely wanting to go I spent the whole morning with butterflies feeling unnaturally worried about... it. It took so much energy to keep up the positive self-talk and reminding myself that this is where I want to be, there is no need to worry, I have done this before I can do it again. But the self-doubt kept creeping in. You’re a fake You don’t belong there You don’t deserve to be there You will never be fit again I stood at the front door for quite sometimes before heading in. Once I was there the negative self-talk continued but it was quieter. Yesterday I made a conscious decision to step out of my comfort zone in order to take a step towards my goal of regaining my fitness levels. Growth does not happen when you stay in your comfort zone. If you have a goal that you are wanting to achieve but like me are too scared to act on it, I encourage to take small steps regularly to move forward to your goal. Even if it feels uncomfortable. #bangoonbaby #mentalhealthawareness #affirmationsunday #affirmationsoftheday #positiveaffirmations #positiveselftalk #anxietywarrior #generalisedanxietydisorder #anxietyawareness #anxietyisreal #mumlife #mumguilt #impostersyndrome #feelinglikeafake #fakeittillyoumakeit #youareenough #mumsmattertoo #selfcaresunday #selfcare #penrithmums #penrithnsw #aussiemums #mummybloggeraustralia #sydneymums #babywearingconsultant #penrithbabyshop #normalisementalhealth

06.01.2022 There are many reasons mothers may choose to express breastmilk. - To provide breastmilk to babies that are unable to latch directly to the breast - Return to the workforce - To give other people the opportunity to feed baby... - Separation of mum and bub - Relieve pressure or engorgement - To increase supply - For breastmilk to be used to create keepsake art or jewellery - To Donate expressed breast milk to others Personally I have expressed breastmilk for all of the above!

06.01.2022 Too often we hear things like: "enjoy it while it lasts" "they will only be little once" "this too shall pass"... The #mumguilt that comes with having a bad day is consuming. YES you can love your children and be grateful for your life and still not enjoy every day. It is absolutely Ok to not enjoy everyday. The bad days make the good days just that little bit more special. Chin up mumma. You are doing an awesome job! This card is from The Empowered Mama - Motherhood deck of affirmation cards.

05.01.2022 #sundayaffirmations Due to the fact that my first labour resulted in an emergency cesarian section, my health care providers strongly recomended that I schedule a cesarian section for my 2nd and 3rd births. Despite the fact that my 2nd and 3rd labours also resulted in emergency c-sections if I had to do it over I would stand by my decision to attempt a Trial of Labour or otherwise known as a VBAC or NBAC.... I chose to allow my babies to decide when they were ready to enter this world. To give my body a chance and expose my baby to the feel good hormones that are released during pregnancy. In no way am I against c-sections. I am against care providers not respecting women's birth choices. #vbac #birthwithoutfear #vbacjourney

01.01.2022 You may have noticed our socials have been a little quiet as of late. I’m finding myself suffering from writers block! Every time I sit down with my phone or at my computer my mind just goes blank. I’m trying not to force it and allow my mind to take some time off in the hopes that inspiration strikes again.... Tonight I’m indulging in a hot cup of tea and some cross stitching now that all 3 kids are in bed (finally!) My nearly 2 year old is in the awful transition between needing a day nap and not so most nights when he naps he is not going to bed until between 10-11 (despite my best efforts!) which means I am missing my down time! Gotta take advantage when free time comes up because it’s so rare! @tetleyaustralia #teadrinkersofinstagram #smallbusinessowner #writersblock
