Stop! Pause. Take a breath.

Hearing your baby cry and doing everything you can to stop them, but it still not working is absolutely heartbreaking and exhausting!

I don’t think you will find a parent that hasn’t been in this situation and a large % of these times are at, or around, 6 weeks of age. This is usually the peek of the sh*t storm and baby’s, on average, cry or fuss for just under 3 hours a day.

This is when a lot of parents start to doubt their ability to breastfeed and introduce formula, when they haven’t wanted to, out of desperation.

If your baby is having enough wet and dirty nappies, is putting on weight and is healthy, then you and your supply are more than enough. This is a phase, albeit a bloody hard one!

This is something I go through in my Preparing to Breastfeed course. I want all new parents to feel confident when these things come up and one way to do this is to have realistic expectations and an understanding of your baby’s biological norms.

For the end of Mental Health Awareness Week I want ti say that;
Breastfeeding is hard. Being a parent is hard. The pressure and guilt is hard. And on top of this, so many of you are carrying so much more than anyone around you can see, too.

If you’re struggling with feeding, with your mental health, with the pressure of doing everything right, please reach out. To me, to your GP, to a friend. Just to someone.

I’m Vicky, a breastfeeding consultant, hypnobirthing teacher and antenatal educator based in Surrey. My whole job is to make the path into the crazy life that is motherhood feel a little less overwhelming.

Whatever you’re going through right now, help is there. You just have to ask.

It’s Mental Health Awareness Week. I have heard so many times that people stopped breastfeeding ‘for their mental health’.

Often, it’s suggested by well meaning family or friends.

And sometimes, for some families, that’s the right answer. Every mum’s and families situation is different, and I will always support whatever you decide.

But what a lot of people dont know is that breastfeeding can actually protect and support your mental wellbeing.

Breastfeeding releases oxytocin, the hormone that helps you feel calm and connected. For many mums experiencing postnatal depression or anxiety, breastfeeding is actually one of the things helping them cope.

Stopping suddenly can cause a sharp drop in hormones, and for some mums, that makes things significantly worse, not better.
Weaning blues are a thing, just like baby blues. Both work on the same principle that your body is experiencing a huge crazy drop in hormones, very quickly.

This isn’t about staying on a journey you don’t want to be on. It’s about making sure you have the full picture before any decision is made. “Just stop feeding” is not always the answer, and it should never be thrown out as casual advice.

If you’re struggling with your mental health and you’re breastfeeding, please talk to someone who understands both.

Save this and share it. It could genuinely change someone’s experience.

Does your baby scream every time a bottle comes near them?

They are not being difficult. They are not broken. And you are not doing it wrong.

Bottle refusal is rarely just about the bottle itself. It is about the transition feeling unfamiliar and unsafe to your baby’s nervous system. They are simply doing what babies are wired to do.

Here is what most people don’t realise:

👉 With the right techniques and the right timing, babies CAN learn to accept a bottle.

The mistakes most parents make are completely understandable, but they often make refusal worse without anyone realising. Things like too much pressure, the wrong moment, or switching bottles repeatedly can all deepen the resistance.

When we work together 1:1 I will help you understand exactly why your baby is refusing, and give you a calm step by step plan that works with their instincts rather than against them.

No more battles. No more tears. Just a way through.

This week, an undercover BBC investigation finally exposed what many of us in the birth and baby world have been saying for a long time.

Dangerous sleep advice, with a massive platform, is dangerous. Full stop.

Putting babies on their front to sleep. Wrapping them up so they are hot and sweaty. These are not “hacks.” These are risks. And the heartbreaking reality is that we will never know how many families have been affected.

The Back to Sleep campaign is one of the greatest public health successes of our lifetime. It has saved thousands of babies’ lives. This is not opinion. This is evidence.

So let’s go back to basics. Because safe sleep is not complicated.

Safe sleep for your baby means:

⬇️ BACK to sleep, every single time
🛏️ A firm, flat, clear sleep surface, no toys, no pillows, no duvets, no bumpers
🌡️ Dressed appropriately, not too warm, not layers upon layers
🏠 In the same room as you for at least the first 6 months
👀 Every sleep, every nap, every night

If you want a trusted sleep account to follow that truly cares about you and your little, then head over to as Sophie and Charlotte are absolute sleep babes ❤️

Honestly, May just gets it right every time. Bank holidays, good weather, and the most beautiful time of year to bring a baby home. 🌸

I might be biased but there is something really special about a May baby. The season, the energy, the long evenings. We absolutely lucked out.

If you have a May baby, are a May baby, or know someone expecting one this month, tag them below! 👇

Here are 5 things that make you think you have low milk supply, but don’t.

1. Small breasts
Breast size does not determine milk supply. Supply is based on glandular tissue, not fat. Some people have small breasts with a large storage capacity, and others have larger breasts with a smaller storage capacity. Either way, your body is designed to make enough milk for your baby.

2. Soft breasts
I always say, a soft b**b is a happy b**b. Softness means your supply has regulated and your body is responding to your baby’s needs rather than overfilling.

3. Baby wants to feed again
Frequent feeding is normal and does not automatically mean low supply. As long as your baby has some settled periods, is having the correct number of wet and dirty nappies, and is growing well, frequent feeding is often just cluster feeding. This can happen at any age, not just the newborn stage.

4. Baby fusses at the breast
Fussing can be caused by many things including fast flow, wind, or needing to be helped into a better position. It can also be a biologically normal behaviour where your baby is communicating with your milk making system and “placing an order” for more milk. This often happens before a cluster feeding phase or around developmental growth spurts, both physical and neurological.

5. Not leaking milk
Leaking is not an indicator of milk supply. Many people never leak at all and still have a full supply. If you used to leak and it has now settled, this is a really positive sign that your supply has regulated to your baby’s needs.

These worries are incredibly common and based on myths rather than biology.

I also offer reassurance phone calls where we can talk through what you are seeing, what is normal for your baby, and what support you may need. Sometimes just talking it through can make everything feel much clearer and calmer.

Is your baby refusing a bottle? 🍼

If you’re a breastfeeding mum and your baby just will not take a bottle, I have the answer you’ve been looking for!

So many mums have been exactly where you are right now. Trying every bottle, every teat, every trick they’ve read about online. Spending a fortune. Getting more stressed by the day. And still no luck.
That’s where I come in.

I’m a breastfeeding consultant and infant feeding specialist, and I have developed a 3-step strategy specifically for bottle refusing babies.

My method has a 100% success rate and I offer a 1:1 personalised online Bottle Refusal Course for babies under 12 months, available worldwide so it doesn’t matter where you are.

Here’s what we cover together:

✔️ Which bottles and teats are most likely to work for YOUR baby
✔️ How to give a bottle correctly (this is often where things go wrong) and what bottle feeding position is best for a breastfed baby.
✔️ My proven 3-step method with a 100% success rate
✔️ A bonus PDF-guide so you have everything in one place
✔️ Troubleshooting tips for every hurdle along the way

The whole course is just £85 and mums are getting results after just one session.

Don’t just take my word for it though. Here’s what some recent clients had to say… 👇

“Did some pumping and bottles for when we were out and about and it worked so nicely!”

“She just took a whole bottle like a champ!”

“You’re a wizard! It’s worked!”

If you’re heading back to work, planning a night away, or just desperately need someone else to be able to feed your baby, this course could be exactly what you need.

👉 Drop BOTTLE in the comments or send me a message and I’ll get you all the details.
I’d love to help. 💛​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

POV: you’ve entered another cluster feeding session and you now live here 😅

Honestly… you don’t need mindful breathing
you need snacks, a charged phone, and a survival plan.

Cluster feeding can feel relentless, especially when you’ve just sat down and your baby is like “round two please”.

So instead of fighting it, set yourself up for it.

Create a little “cluster feeding caddy” and keep it within arm’s reach:
snacks you can eat one-handed
a big water bottle (because the thirst is unreal)
lip balm
phone charger
TV remote
muslin
anything that makes you feel a tiny bit more human

Because if you’re going to be sat there for a while… you may as well be comfortable.

This phase is intense, but it won’t last forever.
You’re not doing anything wrong, your baby is just doing baby things.

Follow me for more real, honest breastfeeding support and tips that actually help 🤍
