Things I would do differently if I was breastfeeding for the first time...

✨ Have good support, your husband, partner, mum, or best friend, someone to be your cheerleader and spur you on. Also, if they can help with other things, this frees you to 100% focus on feeding until you feel more established

✨Go to support groups, offload, ask questions, and meet people in the same situation as you

✨Reach out to someone with experience and knowledge, or even just some reassurance on how you're doing

DM me for support with your breastfeeding

🤍 My client came to me asking for help and support with breastfeeding position and attachment

🤍 I remember all too well, the feeling of being a first time mum, receiving conflicting advice, and feeling overwhelmed

🤍 I listened to everything they and their partner had to say and their questions, then I provided my advice, guidance, and suggestions

🌟 If you would like to feel more confident and knowledgeable breastfeeding, DM me the word SUPPORT and I'll be glad to help you 🌟

Ever wanted to know the difference between Braxton hicks and real labour??

Braxton hicks are your body's way of preparing for labour, like practice contractions. They are spontaneous and irregular and do not start labour. They can feel similar to menstrual cramps.

Real labour, you will experience real contractions/tightenings. These will dilate your cervix, feel much stronger but each one brings you closer to meeting your baby. You are in established labour when you are having 3 regular, strong contractions within a 10 minute period and when you reach 4cm dilated.

Your breastfeeding journey isn't about placing big goals on yourself; it's about taking one day at a time and easing the pressure of reaching certain milestones.

Whether you breastfeed for days, weeks, a year, or more, take pride in your journey. Everyone's experience is unique 🤍

Nurturing and nourishing your little one is definitely worth celebrating! ✨

Ankyloglossia or tongue tie as it's more commonly known, occurs when the skin joining the baby's tongue to the bottom of the mouth is tight, short or over developed.

It can hinder the tongue's normal movement, which can sometimes mean they can have difficulty breastfeeding.

This can be because the latch is shallower, which can affect breast milk transfer.

When feeding from a bottle, a baby with a tongue tie can experience milk flow issues also, as they may find it more difficult to latch onto the teat of the bottle.

Position and attachment will always be looked at first and foremost with a tongue tie. Specialists who can correct tongue ties, do so with a surgical intervention to release the frenulum.

If you'd like help with position and attachment when breastfeeding, I can help. DM me the word FEED if you would like my support.

Spend a day with me, last week when it was my birthday 🎂
we went to a lovely local spa, lunch, then cake with my family 😍

Things I have learned as an antenatal, birth and breastfeeding mentor, and also a Mum and wife

🤍 Self care is necessary, it isn't an option, it's a necessity, this could be a bath, a coffee with a friend or a walk

🤍 Have good sleep and nutrition, fuel and rest will help your energy, focus and patience, this is one I still struggle with 😅

🤍 Know you are good enough, you're doing your best and no one is perfect, don't put pressure on yourself, some days go smoothly and others don't, and that's okay

If you would like to find out more about how I could help you during pregnancy, with the birth of your baby, postnatally for early days with your baby or feeding your baby, please get in touch ❤️

3 reasons why feeding to sleep can work for some families

🤱 Feeding can be a soothing experience for your baby, helping to regulate their nervous system and achieve a peaceful state conducive to sleep.

🤱 When babies feed, oxytocin, known as 'the love hormone,' is released, leading to a sense of sleepiness. This benefits mothers too, as it can help them return to sleep more easily after nighttime feeds.

🤱 Notably, night breast milk contains tryptophan, an amino acid that contributes to melatonin production, promoting better sleep.

So, if feeding to sleep fits well with your family, remember, it's completely normal and natural—you're not creating any long-term issues for yourself or your baby.
