My little wish for today…

I wish ALL mums knew these things before they had breastfeeding can be bloody hard! But a lot of the time, its nit the actual feeding part… it’s not knowing what is normal.

Cluster feeding. Soft b***s. The tiny feeds of colostrum. The fact that your pump output doesn’t tell you how much milk you actually have.

Society is also pretty wild when it comes to understanding how you and your baby works and there are so many unrealistic expectations and assumptions being thrown around. It can be really tough knowing what to believe.

This is exactly why I’m such a massive fan of antenatal breastfeeding education. We put a lot of thought into the birth of our baby, and rightly so, but what about once the little humans are earth side!?

Knowing how breastfeeding works BEFORE your little arrives means you can go into those first few days feeling informed, prepared and much more confident.

And it’s not just something I say because I’m a breastfeeding consultant 💁‍♀️ it’s proven that antenatal breastfeeding education can improve breastfeeding outcomes. ❤️

You shouldn’t have to learn all of this when you’re exhausted, hormonal and holding a screaming newborn.

Learn it before you need it. 🤍

My fun fact for today…

Your breastmilk is actually made from your blood. 🩸🤱 NOT the contents of what you eat.

So save your money on those “breastfeeding cookies” telling you they will increase your supply overnight 🙄

When you eat and drink, your digestive system breaks everything down. The nutrients are then absorbed through your intestines and into your bloodstream.

Your blood carries these molecules sized nutrients around your body, including to your breasts. Your milk-making cells then take what they need from your blood to produce your breastmilk.

This is how your milk contains things like water, fats, carbohydrates, proteins, vitamins, antibodies and minerals. (And so much more ❤️)

Your breasts are clever and the old gals in the factory only allow small size molecules to pass through. This is why some medications are safe to take while breastfeeding, as the molecules in your blood are too large to pass through to your milk.

**Then why can babies have reactions to things mum eats? **

The proteins you eat, whether from meat, dairy, nuts, seeds, beans or grains, are broken down during digestion into smaller building blocks called amino acids. Your body uses these to make its own proteins.

Some dietary proteins can also be small enough to pass through into your breastmilk. This is why, in a small number of babies, they can have reactions. Symptoms to reactions can include things like blood or mucus in the poo, vomiting, significant eczema or gastrointestinal symptoms.

But **gas, reflux or a fussy baby alone do NOT mean your baby has an allergy. **

CMPA (cows milk protein allergy) is the most commonly heard about, BUT, in an exclusively breastfed baby this is uncommon, so cutting out dairy or other foods “just in case” isn’t usually necessary.

In general, there are NO foods you need to avoid simply because you are breastfeeding. ❤️

You can eat a varied diet and enjoy your food without worrying that everything you eat is going straight into your milk.

Hi everyone! I’m Vicky, your Fairy BirthMother ❤️

After having my three children, I decided that stepping back into the classroom wasn’t for me. Somewhere along the way, I had discovered a whole new obsession, love and passion for all things birth, babies and breastfeeding 🤱

So, I hung up my primary school teacher boots and traded them in to retrain as a certified antenatal educator, hypnobirthing practitioner and breastfeeding consultant.

My aim? To provide the realistic, evidence-based knowledge, support and care that I wish I’d had when I had my first baby. ❤️

So, if you’re pregnant, preparing for birth, navigating feeding, or simply want honest and supportive information about all things bump, birth, baby & beyond…

give me a follow! 👋

And remember, my inbox is always open if you ever have a question. ❤️

What feeding questions are you still wondering about? 👀

Maybe you’re pregnant and wondering what to expect with breastfeeding, struggling with bottle feeding, considering combination feeding, wondering about pumping and expressing breast milk, or struggling with weaning and toddler feeding.

No question too small. No question too silly. No question too big.

So ask me. 🤍

Pop your feeding question in the comments and I’ll be using your questions to create helpful, evidence-based feeding content when I’m back in September.

👇 What would you like me to talk about?

03/08/2026

Hope you’re all having a lovely summer. I have signed off to spend the holidays with my 3 littles. My inbox is still open for any questions, I just might be a little slower to reply.

Be back to all things b***s and babies in September

TOP TIP for cooling your rooms…

I’ve done this for the last few years and it works like a charm! Doesn’t look pretty, but keeps the house a good few degrees cooler!

Planning to breastfeed? Here are 5 things to do before your baby arrives.

1. Get educated
Take an antenatal course and learn how your body is built to feed your baby. Understanding realistic expectations and newborn biological norms means you will know what is normal, what is not, and how to navigate hurdles when they come up.

2. Write a list of names and numbers
A breastfeeding consultant, local groups, new mum meet-ups. Write these down before baby arrives. They will be a genuine lifeline in those early weeks.

3. Hold off on pumps and bottles
I cannot tell you how many families have spent a small fortune on equipment they never touched. Hospitals have pumps to borrow and Amazon does next-day delivery. Save that money and put it towards a breastfeeding antenatal course instead.

4. Collect colostrum antenatally
From 36 weeks, with your midwife’s go-ahead, start hand expressing to collect colostrum. Liquid gold for your baby. The amount you manage to collect means nothing about how your feeding journey will go, so do not let it discourage you.

5. Protect your baby bubble
Get everyone around you on the same page before baby arrives. Share your feeding goals and be clear about what support you need. Cleaning, cooking, older children - there are so many ways loved ones can help you.

If you want to cover all of this and so much more, my Preparing to Breastfeed course is completely personalised to you, your wishes, and your goals. Drop me a message or head to the link in my bio.

Breastfeeding and bottles can absolutely go hand in hand. Whether you want to give expressed milk, formula, or just have the option to step away sometimes, it does not have to be all or nothing.

There is no magic age you have to wait until before introducing a bottle. That said, if your baby is under around six weeks, it is worth doing it mindfully and with a bit of a plan, because your supply is still finding its feet. Any time a baby has a bottle feed, adding in a pump is a good idea to keep things ticking along. Remember = supply and demand!

Overnight feeding is still one of the most important things for your supply, especially in those early weeks, so if giving a bottle at night to get a longer stretch of sleep is the goal, it just needs a little thought behind it. It is absolutely doable. You can get a decent chunk of sleep and protect your supply. It just takes knowing when to do it, how to do it, and having a plan. I can help you here.

If your baby is already refusing a bottle, that is where I come in. My bottle refusal course walks you through getting a bottle-refusing baby to actually take one. No matter if they used to take one perfectly fine and then stopped, or they have never had one and you want to start.

And, if you just want to talk through the logistics of when and how to introduce a bottle so you can get more sleep, I offer phone call support for £45. No full consultation needed, just practical advice you can use straight away down the end of the phone.
