25.01.2022 Another great resource we refer to for each of the families we support. Each child is different and with varying needs but this shows an overall age-based pattern.

23.01.2022 Third trimester got me like:

23.01.2022 20 things to know when youve just pushed out a baby: 1. The after pains. Pain. After. Who knew? When God designed women to give birth, he well and truly screwe...d us over.... 2. Your first wee. Take a jug with you and pour it over your bits like youre trying to be a star in some very disturbing porno. It helps. 3.. Your first poo. Do not panic. You are not having another baby. It just feels that way. But just remember the size of the thing you pushed out of the front bit, and the prospect of pushing out whats in the back bit wont be quite so daunting. Your bum is not falling out. Or it might be. If you have piles. Which you probably do... 4. Your baby looks weird. Like... Really weird. Oh how cute/such a beautiful baby etc will be said at you and youll accept other peoples opinions, but to you it looks like a hairless slightly purple old grandad with dried blood and skin stuck to its wrinkly face. 5. Their downstairs bits are ridiculous. You will worry about the impact they will have on their lives should they stay like that. Boys little nuggets are the size of whole walnut whips, but their willies are the size of the walnuts on the top that nobody wants. Apparently this swelling goes down soon. If it doesnt, expect big bollocks to be part of your sons school nickname. 6. Their first poo is not actually poo. Its tar. The midwives sneak in over night, fill your babys nappy with treacle and then test you to see if you know to get rid of it, or to see if you decide to take one look at it and start googling why do nappies come pre-filled with marmite? 7. Your first shower will be like a scene from Carrie. Its normal. It may feel like youll never be right again and that youll walk like John Wayne forever, and you might, but youll feel so much better for the shower. Youre literally washing away your sins. (If the baby was born out of wedlock anyway....) 8. Midwives like babies. They will come and pick yours up with no prior warning. They will squeeze their testicles, massage their tummies to make them crap, and fiddle with their face so much youre sure the baby looks like its had botox when they give it back. 9. Your baby hates you. Its not crying. Its communicating with its master- the devil- about how successful their plan to destroy you is going. Seriously - it doesnt actually hate you. It may seem like it never cries when anyone else holds it or that it enjoys keeping you up all night, but really, it is so dependant on you its embarrassing. Human babies are embarrassing. 10. You will say the word latch more than you have ever said it in your life. And the idea of a tiny person casually sucking on your nipples suddenly becomes a reality. At this moment, you will feel like an actual proper mum. And a cow. 11. There are people in hospital that can smell your vulnerability. They will take photos of your baby looking cute and then try and charge you a million pounds for it. They will scroll through the 50 photos theyve taken of your baby in the same position, asking you to choose your favourites. and if youve got a partner like mine, that means you will have to re-mortgage your house by the time hes done... 12. The hospital food is as bad as it is so that people decide they would rather be in pain and at home than eating peaches and custard. The custard is hot wee with a splash of breast milk mixed in, and the peaches are body parts that have been soaked in sugar over night. And dont eat the chocolate mousse. Just dont. 13. It farts. It burps. It hiccups. It makes weird noises in its sleep that make you think youre going to wake up and see Chucky in the cot- head spinning and laughing. You hope people know its the baby and not you. Not that youd know if you were farting. Your sphincter muscle control is somewhat lacking at the moment. 14. Everyone youve ever met will want to come to the hospital to see you. People get overexcited about visiting hospitals. They feel VIP when they walk in to a ward. You are a VIP- a very in-pain person. And you look and feel like death. So only accept visitors if you are up to it. Youre still so high on drugs that making conversation with adults is like trying to sieve flour with a fishing net. Everything just pours out of you and none of the shit is stopped getting through... 15. Your tummy is now resembling a balloon thats slowly deflating and feeling very sorry for itself. If you press it, you instantly conclude that it would make a fantastic trampoline for Stuart Little. Or that if you sliced it up right now, the hospital kitchen staff would use it and palm it off as nectarine jelly.. 16. They want you on contraception straight away. Countless midwives will come and talk to you about how fertile you are and how likely you are to become pregnant again. They do however forget one crucial thing- youre never having sex again. You never want to see a penis again. And if one comes near you, youll most likely destroy it for the sake of women everywhere. The end. 17. Everythings angry. Your brain is angry, your eyes are angry, your tummy, your bladder, your bum. Your vagina isnt angry. Its f@&king livid. Give it a while to calm down but right now, you and she aint friends... 18. People ask you if your milk has come in yet, and you half expect somebody dressed in a cravendale costume to waltz through the door and stay with you forever, handing you milk as and when your baby needs it. Not true. What actually happens is that, about 3 days in, your boobs start to leak like they have forgotten they are breasts and now believe they are garden sprinklers. Whose garden you dont know, but at the rate they start pouring out it must be the Queens... 19. They want you to go home ASAP. You are taking up valuable bed space and now you have delivered your stinky human bundle and theyve checked it over to make sure it isnt a live Picasso painting, youre free to leave. Dont. Not until youre ready. Get all the help and advice you need before going home. Because once youre at home, your baby is expecting you to know what youre doing and youll wish youd stayed longer at the hospital. If to only delay the car seat fiasco a little longer... 20. Stop worrying. Youre not superwoman. There is no such thing as normal, and there is no such thing as perfect. You are your babys normal. You are your babys perfect. They arent judging you. They are completely reliant on you and being responsible for another human being is not a piece of cake. Its a piece of oh my god I cant do this. You can. And everyday will get easier. Breath mummy. You just grew and pushed out a mini Mitchell brother. Theres nothing you cant do. Except sleep. You cant do that anymore. See more

22.01.2022 Great resource - stay safe

21.01.2022 When a baby suckles at its mothers breast, a vacuum is created. Within that vacuum, the infants saliva is sucked back into the mothers nipple, where recepto...rs in her mammary gland read its signals. This "baby spit backwash," as she delightfully describes it, contains information about the babys immune status. Everything scientists know about physiology indicates that baby spit backwash is one of the ways that breast milk adjusts its immunological composition. If the mammary gland receptors detect the presence of pathogens, they compel the mothers body to produce antibodies to fight it, and those antibodies travel through breast milk back into the babys body, where they target the infection. . . . . . . . . . #WorldBreastfeedingWeek #WBW2019 #WBW #NBM #breastfeedingphotography #breastfeedwithoutfear #breastfed #breastfeedingawareness #breastfedtoddler #normalizebreastfeeding #breastfeedingmagazine #milkymama #mothersmilk #breastfeedingmama #breastfeeding #motheranddaughter #nurture #breastfeedingworld #southfloridaphotographer #bocaratonphotographer #Repost @nickyrhea Eta: Lots of discussion around this theory. If youd like further info see http://mammalssuck.blogspot.com//breast-milk-baby-spit.htm "When babies suckle, nipple diameter increases and there is a vacuum with negative pressure, delivering fluids from the infant oral cavity a cocktail of milk and saliva back into the ducts of the breast. For the record the technical term for baby spit backwash is retrograde milk flow (Geddes et al. 2008; Geddes 2009; Geddes et al. 2012; Ramsey et al. 2004)." Geddes, Donna T., et al.

19.01.2022 i just wanted to say thank you for the hire of the Labour Tens machine. I was fortunate enough to manage through induction and labour with just the Tens machine for pain relief. Much to my dismay, at the time , i had to remove it to get in the bath for the final moments to experience and amazing waterbirth. I have a serious bond with this machine now. I have already recommended you to all my preggy friends.
