Packing your hospital bag can feel overwhelming — what do you actually need?

Keeping it simple is key.
Think comfort, practicality and the essentials for you, your baby and your support person.

You don’t need everything — just the things that will help you feel comfortable, supported and prepared during those first few days

Save this as a guide for when you start packing your bag

Expectation vs reality… they don’t always match

Newborn feeding can feel very different to what we imagine.
Cluster feeding, snacking, comfort feeds and unpredictable patterns are all normal.

Feeding isn’t always quick or easy — it’s something both you and your baby learn together over time.

If you’re feeling unsure, overwhelmed or like things aren’t going to plan… you’re not alone and support can make such a difference - reach out to me if you’re needing some help or advice.

Who has heard of probiotics for newborns?

Some babies have more sensitive tummies than others — showing up as wind, unsettledness or colic-type symptoms.

There is growing research around certain probiotic strains that may help support gut health and reduce crying and discomfort in some babies.

They’re simple to give and, when used appropriately are safe for babies.

If you have a newborn (or one on the way), it can be worth exploring whether probiotics might be helpful for your little one

Looking after your mental health doesn’t have to mean big, overwhelming changes

It’s often the small, consistent habits that make the biggest difference.

Eating proper meals, getting enough rest, moving your body, talking to someone, switching off from social media… it all matters.

And some days?
Self-care might look like going to bed at 6pm and leaving the dishes for tomorrow — and that’s okay.

You don’t have to do all 7 things every day… but even choosing one is a step in the right direction

You deserve to feel supported, rested and well too

Supporting your baby’s development doesn’t need to be complicated

It’s not about fancy toys or doing everything “perfectly” — it’s about simple, everyday moments of connection and play.

Talking, cuddling, tummy time, letting them explore… it all adds up

These small, intentional interactions help build your baby’s communication, movement, problem solving and social skills — all through things you’re probably already doing.

You are your baby’s best teacher

FREE Infant Sleep Support Program

I am looking for up to 3 families with babies aged 0–3 months who are experiencing sleep concerns (day and or night) and are motivated to make gentle, responsive changes.

This program focuses on supporting your baby through the 4th trimester and helping them adjust to life outside the womb using realistic, developmentally appropriate strategies.

Suitable for breastfed and bottle-fed babies
Gentle, responsive approach
Completely FREE as part of my sleep consultant training

To apply, please send me a PM with:
Your baby's age and date of birth
What sleep challenges you are experiencing
Whether your baby is breastfed or bottle-fed
Any relevant background information

Please note: Babies must not have any active health concerns or unresolved weight gain issues unless they are being appropriately managed by your doctor, IBCLC or other healthcare professional.

Applications are only open until this afternoon, so please reach out soon if you would like to be considered.

Due to the high level of interest, only 3 families will be selected
