24.01.2022 Yes! Postpartum recovery really isn’t thought or talked about until after you’ve been through it. Why??? It really is so very important.

21.01.2022 Oh wow, this really hits home. Couldn’t agree more. So many new mothers lack the support they need on their breastfeeding journey.

18.01.2022 We spend so much time trying to figure out why our baby is upset. When really, 99.9% of the time a breastfeed will be the answer so no need to do detective work...just offer the breast. <3 WHEN IN DOUBT...WHIP IT OUT!

13.01.2022 This is a great explanation

13.01.2022 From the World Health Organization on COVID-19 and breastfeeding... (Source: https://www.who.int//q-a-on-covid-19-pregnancy-and-childbi)

11.01.2022 I was always looking for a reason. A why? There must be some plausible explanation for these never-ending wakeups. It's the white noise. I didn't buy that flipp...in' sheep. I should have introduced that from day one. He's too hot. He's too cold. It's these grobags bothering him. He should be wearing socks. That'll be it. I'm leaving too long a gap before bed. He's overtired. Or could he be under tired? I didn't tire him out enough today. Didn't take him to enough structured activities. He's understimulated. He's overstimulated. He's not eating enough. He's eating too much. I should be feeding him all those sleep-making foods. Like bananas. Or that magic cherry juice. I need to get my hands on that cherry juice. Our bedroom layout is all wrong. Bad Feng Shui. It's this house. We need to move house. Tonight! The bedtime routine isn't solid enough. Did I remember to say goodnight to enough objects around our bedroom? The lamp. I forgot to say goodnight to the lamp. I should have bought that sleepy scent from Lush. That's where I've been going wrong. Because nobody ever slept before Lush developed that sleepy scent. Omg, the doubt. The constant second-guessing. It was bloody exhausting. Almost as exhausting as the actual wakeups. It would be comical if it didn't nearly tip me over the edge. So convinced was I that his sleep was abnormal, that there must be some medical explanation, we had appointments with ENT departments for suspected sleep apnoea. But there was nothing. Because he wasn't 'struggling' with his sleep. I was. He wasn't a code to crack, a problem to solve. He's not what needed fixing. It was me that was broken. Or rather the unrealistic expectations that I held. So very broken. --------------------------------------------------- Words: Karen McMillan (@mother_truths) Image: @brookesmartillustration

10.01.2022 It’s funny how we don’t give much thought to the afterwards . In my role as a postpartum professional I meet with expectant parents and discuss all things postpartum so I can best help support them through this precious time

10.01.2022 I’ve been reminded tonight of how important this message is to share, because of how bombarded mothers are with messages of the exact opposite. You do not need ...to teach your baby how to sleep. You do not need to put them on a nap and sleep schedule. You do not need to worry about cat napping not being ‘sufficient’. You do not need to worry about pram/car sleeps not being ‘good enough’. You do not need to feel worried or anxious about rocking or feeding your baby to sleep. You do not need your baby to ‘sleep through’ in order to get the rest you need. It can feel overwhelming with all the ‘shoulds’. All the social media targeted advertising. All of the ‘how are they sleeping?’ questions. All of the comparisons. You’re not alone! For more please check out Little Sparklers The Beyond Sleep Training Project and listen to my interview with the founder Carly Grubb, on my podcast The Good Enough Mother, ep 31.

06.01.2022 Just too beautiful not to share

01.01.2022 What a lovely story ... Monochorionic identical quadruplets are exceptionally rare, with only 72 cases recorded in medical literature. https://www.washingtonpost.com//quartet-marvels-woman-had/
