This is a nuanced subject, and there will always be babies who need a little more support than others.

But my main message is this…

Babies are not robots. They don’t all fit into a box.

Not every baby needs the same technique, routine, ritual or “rule” applied to them. What works beautifully for one baby may be completely unnecessary for another….Get to know your baby.

Watch them.
Learn their cues.
Understand their temperament.
Remember that they are little humans, not problems to be solved.

And most importantly, sometimes we need to zoom out and look at the whole picture……a missed burp here and there is probably not the problem we think it is.

When we stop focusing on rigid rules and start responding to the whole baby, things often become much simpler.

Said with love for all the parents feeling the pressures. ❤️

Would love to hear your experience with burping?

This is an overachieving athlete (literally).….This is not the NORM. 🤣 MILLIE ELLIOTT

Most breastfeeding mothers pump somewhere between 30–120mL total (both breasts combined) when expressing between feeds.

If you’re replacing a feed or exclusively pumping, volumes may be higher, often around 90–150mL.

Some mothers with a full milk supply only ever pump 20–50mL after a feed because their baby is far more effective than a pump.

Pumping output is influenced by:

• How recently baby fed
• Pump quality and fl**ge fit
• Time of day
• Stress levels
• Individual breast storage capacity

Breastfed babies typically consume around 750–800mL across a 24-hour period from 1–6 months of age, that’s on average 80mls per feed.

Please don’t compare your pumping output to someone else’s bottle.

The amount you pump is measuring what the pump removed, not what your body is capable of making.

Look at how your baby is feeding, growing do they have adequate output.

Almost every time I walk into the house of a postpartum mother she says sorry about one of the above.

Don’t be sorry…..that’s why I’m here!

When I walk into your home, I’m not looking at your house.

I’m looking at you.

If I was having my first baby again, I would:

• Do less.

• Allow others to do more.

• Spend less time worrying about what’s next and more time soaking up what’s right in front of me.

• Ignore the noise, the opinions, and the social pressures, and trust what works for me and my family.

• Find a great GP and healthcare team I trust.

• Stop trying to control the uncontrollable.

• Trust my instincts more and compare myself less.

• Remind myself that everything is phase and will pass.

The truth is, so much of early parenthood is spent trying to prepare, plan, fix and get it “right.” But some of the most important lessons only come with time.

What’s one thing you would do differently if you could go back to your first baby?

The response to my last post on “things I say to breastfeeding mums” was so good and some of you requested one for mixed feeding mums so here it is.

These are some of the things I say to mixed feeding mums, but it always depends on your why and your goals.

No one-size-fits-all here. We can protect supply, maintain it, or make things more flexible depending what works for you.

As always support is key.

Like, save, share or comment if this resonates with you.

5 THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THIS IMAGE:

1. Baby turned in toward mum – tummy to mummy

2. Posture – your body weight is supporting baby, not your arms doing all the work.

3. Pillows – supporting you so you can support baby (pillows are your best friend).

4. Babies hips, shoulders and neck all beautifully aligned – no twisting or reaching.

5. Head gently supported – allowing baby to extend slightly and readjust if needed (no pushing or forcing).

All of this supports optimal positioning and a more comfortable, effective latch:
- Less ni**le pain and damage
- Less fussiness
- Less air intake
- Better milk transfer and breast drainage
A couple of little extras I love here 👇🏼

- Baby is nice and close – no gaps/between mum and Bub.
- Chin leading into the breast with space around the nose
- Mum looks relaxed and comfortable (this matters more than we think).

And of course this beautiful mama .elle.kidd

Postpartum puppy diaries… 🐶🤍

We got our new puppy this week!

Firstly, let me preface this by saying I have had 3 children and I absolutely understand that a baby and a puppy are very different, it’s quite simply just not the same.

Having said that… having a puppy has reminded me of a few things:

• Newborns wake and feed a lot
• There is no routine
• Day and night are a 24-hour cycle
• A mother’s work is never done
• Preparation is key
• Your support system is everything
• Sleep and eat when you can
• There are no moments to switch off
• Your mind wanders to worst-case scenarios
• You can’t sleep@waiting for the next wake
• Your constantly questioning your care
• Everybody wants to visit and cuddle the cute new addition, but no one brings food or does the washing 🤣
• You want to trust your instincts, but there is so much noise
• The cries pull at your heartstrings
• You try to be calm while simultaneously feeling incredibly anxious

This season is intense, messy, exhausting and consuming but it is also temporary…..

Trying to remind myself of this. ✌️🫠🤣
