2 big changes in our house this week...

1st day of high school for the eldest, 1st day of school for the youngest 🥰

From the tiny toes on the day or birth to the big shoes they are all stepping into today 👣
So proud of all 3 of my boys 💙

Anyone else any big firsts this week?

Overnight support can be a little saviour for those exhausted families 😴 or just for a little extra helping hand whilst navigating matresecnce 🥰

There is no footage of the 'night' as I was so focused on feeding, winding and settling baby back down, I forgot 😊

However, Mama was super happy to have a good chunk of sleep through the night 😁

If you are interested in overnight support, comment or send me a DM 📩

🌕 The Sturgeon Moon 🌕

August’s full moon is known as the Sturgeon Moon, traditionally named after the sturgeon fish that were more commonly caught at this time of year.

But beyond its name, full moons can be a lovely reminder to pause, reflect and reset. ✨

Just like birth and parenthood, there is no need to rush the process. Trust your body, trust your instincts and take each moment as it comes. 🤍

Who saw the solar eclipse? Who missed it?

Was this your second eclipse yo see or your first?

Nothing crazy happened around me, no extra craziness from the kids or pup 😂

We are currently camping and got a few good shots 🌒🌘

I absolutely love what I do, and being trusted to be part of something so special is an honour. To witness for the most empowering thing a woman can do and to see a baby come earth side 🥰
It's magical and I will never tire if it 😍

Then to receive a gift with the most heart warming note is just the cherry on the top 😁

Thank you for allowing me the gift to hold space for you and thank you for my pressies and words 😘

This World Breastfeeding Week, let's celebrate every parent navigating their feeding journey.

Breastfeeding can be beautiful, challenging, emotional and empowering. Sometimes all in the same day.

Every family deserves evidence-based information, compassionate support and the confidence to make the choices that are right for them.

Whether you're preparing to breastfeed, feeding your newborn, expressing, combination feeding or looking for support when things feel difficult, you don't have to do it alone.

You are doing an amazing job. 🤍

Did you know that around 1 in 4 pregnant people carry Group B Strep (GBS) without even knowing it?

GBS is a common bacteria that usually causes no symptoms and is harmless to adults. However, it can sometimes be passed to a baby during labour or birth.

The NHS doesn't routinely test for GBS, but you can choose to have an Enriched Culture Medium (ECM) swab. This is the most accurate test available and is usually taken between 35 and 37 weeks of pregnancy.

The test is quick and simple. A single swab is gently used to collect samples from the lower va**na and the re**um. It can often be self-taken and doesn't require a speculum.

If your result is positive, it doesn't mean you or your baby are unwell. It simply gives you more information so you can discuss your options with your maternity team and make informed decisions about your care.

Knowledge is empowering, and understanding your choices can help you feel more confident as you prepare to meet your baby. 💛

🌕✨Tonight's Buck Moon is a reminder that growth doesn't always happen all at once.

Named for the time of year when deer begin to regrow their antlers, the Buck Moon symbolises strength, renewal and new beginnings.

Whether you're growing a baby, preparing for birth, navigating the early days of parenthood or simply finding your feet, remember that growth takes time. Be gentle with yourself and celebrate every small step forward. 🌕✨
