Unpopular opinion? But those new parents don’t owe you a visit to their newborn bubble

It sounds harsh, but it’s one of my top rules when visiting a new family. If they want you to hold the little one, they will offer. Otherwise, your hands are better used washing dishes, holding a cup of tea for mum, or dropping off a meal.

I visit new babies regularly for my job, but even when it’s a close friend, I stick to a strict code of conduct to keep everyone happy, safe, and supported.

It’s all about respecting the new parents boundaries and their precious new born bubble. And doing what you can to support this new little family. Those newborn visits are a privilege not a right - even if you are family. Swipe to see my non-negotiables

Mummas, what was the one thing a visitor did that you appreciated the most? Let me know below!👇

The bottle feeding advice I see floating around? A lot of it belongs in the bin. 🗑️

The stuff passed down from well-meaning (but very opinionated) family members. The old wives’ tales that have been recycled for generations. The unsolicited advice from someone who fed their baby 30 years ago and is very confident about it.

And then there’s the content created by bottle brands, companies with a product to sell, not a baby to feed.
No IBCLCs. No neonatal nurses. Nobody who actually understands the mechanics of how babies feed.

So when your baby is gagging, gulping, gassy, or refusing the bottle and nothing you try is working, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong.

It’s because the advice was never built around your baby in the first place.

You deserve support from someone who actually knows what they’re talking about. 💛

I built a bottle feeding course, developed by an IBCLC + neonatal nurse (hi 👋) because this stuff matters, and you shouldn’t have to piece it together from the internet and your mother-in-law. Comment ‘bottle’ for the link

Up to 80% of mums doubt their supply at some point in their breastfeeding journey. And a vast majority of the time? It’s stress for nothing.

Babies feeding patterns change, your breasts aren’t designed to feel full all the time and sleep!? Well it’s not the best indicator of milk intake.

But I get it, it’s really easy to over analyse and doubt yourself. Instead read this, be reassured and if after reading it you really think it’s low please reach out for some help.

Save this for when you need it or send to a mama in need 🤍
