It's easy to see how fast postpartum recovery is for some mums on social media. But reality is very different from the rose-tinted images and videos that flood our feeds every day. You don't just snap back from growing an entire human being for 9-10 months and giving birth; it's a slow gradual recovery that takes a lot of patience and understanding.

If you've just given birth or if you're about to soon, save this post as a gentle reminder to yourself that your postpartum recovery isn't linear - it's a full roller coaster ride. Hang in there mamas, I'm right there with you! πŸ’ͺ🫢

It's always really nice to be able to meet and exchange ideas with other professionals within the industry and I'm so glad I had the chance to meet with Beryl Tan, IBCLC (Lactation Consultant) yesterday morning! ✨ Beryl is an IBCLC who's been doing some amazing work with mums to support their breastfeeding journey. I love love LOVE the kind of practical products she also provides her clients with like the cold/warm compress and the hydrogel to really ease the initial discomforts faced by mums in their breastfeeding journey 🀱🏾
Something Beryl shared really resonated with me "Breastfeeding is more than just feeding the baby, it's about connection. It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Even if it's a little bit, you can still do it." πŸ₯Ήβ€οΈ

Thanks for the meetup Beryl! Next time, together with Li Ying β€’ IBCLC Lactation Consultant & NDC/ Possums Practitioner hopefully! ✨

Lindsay Clancy's trial has been on my mind over the past few days. There is so much that I want to say about everything I've been reading. Lindsay was by all accounts an exceptional mother, she did everything she could to seek help and treatment, but the system completely and utterly failed her.

Every postpartum experience is different. Just because a mum has gone through postpartum once or twice, doesn't mean that the next is going to be easier. As a mum who just had her third baby this year, and having gone through my most intense and challenging postpartum, I feel so deeply for Lindsay and everything she has had to go through.

I know for a fact that so many mothers relate to the invisible and suffocating weight of postpartum isolation. Our healthcare system is still a work-in-progress, and we deserve so much more than just a single, brief 6 week postnatal checkup. And we as a society have to do better and move past the archaic expectation that women should just "deal with it".

If you are feeling overwhelmed, isolated or triggered by this topic, please know that you do not have to carry this alone. My DMs are always a safe and non-judgmental space for you.

Jamielene from Jamielene Fernandez and I had a chance to sit down and chat with niksbodywork last week, and it was one of those feel-good meetups and conversations that we had. There's so much about the birth space in Singapore that is still evolving, but if you want to physically prep your body prenatally or to recover in the postpartum period, Nik's Bodywork is definitely up there high on the list! Their services go way and beyond just a traditional massage, our clients have personally benefited leaps and bounds with their bodywork services!

We were so touched to receive these gift sets from Nik, Rosie and Nori, and I'll definitely be doing another unboxing video to show you what comes in these DIY essentials set ❀️

One of the most common questions I get from clients is, "what if my baby is too big?" This sentiment is often also fuelled by scans and weight estimates provided in the last trimester. Trusting your body to grow a baby that you can push out safely does require some time and effort, but it's definitely possible to get there.

So if you're experiencing such doubts, take a deep breath and remind yourself:

"My baby is the perfect size for my body to give birth to."

Hi everyone, really excited and looking forward to resuming my doula services from July onwards!

Introducing my private, fully customised birth and postpartum workshops, conducted directly in your own home!

Whether you are preparing for the big day or for postpartum, my private workshops are tailored entirely to your unique family goals.

βœ”οΈ Tailored topics that matter to you.

What I cover:
🀰 Birth-Ready Workshop: Signs & stages of labor, pain-relief options (the real pros & cons), partner support techniques, and navigating interventions or C-sections.
🍼 The Fourth Trimester Workshop: Postpartum healing, breastfeeding & bottle-feeding essentials, and practical newborn care (diapering, bathing, and baby cues).
πŸ•Œ For my Muslim clients: We also include a beautiful, dedicated segment on Islamic practices during birth and postpartum, and how to navigate this transformative journey with tawakkal (trusting in Allah's plan). 🀍

Perfect for first-time parents or experienced mamas looking for a refresher.

As a doula, I tell my clients that we don't write birth plans to control labour or the outcome of birth. We write them to navigate the medical system and to be able to make informed choices during situations that arise during labour and birth.

Swipe through to see why putting your preferences on paper is one of the most powerful things you can do for your birth experience.

If you're unsure about how to get started on your birth plan, DM or comment "PLAN" and we can chat over a call ✨

Breastfeeding and just the postpartum period in general makes me VERY snacky. One of my go-to snacks especially in the early days of postpartum was granola.

I absolutely love how convenient and versatile it is. You can add a variety of different ingredients which makes this snack a nutrition powerhouse, which of course potentially helps with milk supply & the quality of milk.

Ingredients:

β€‹πŸŒΎ Rolled Oats: The ultimate lactation staple, packed with iron to combat fatigue and boost milk supply.

​πŸ₯œ The Nut Trio (Walnuts, Almonds, Hazelnuts): Loaded with healthy fats and protein to keep your energy stable and enrich your breastmilk​

πŸŽƒ Pumpkin Seeds: High in zinc, iron and magnesium to support tissue healing, regulate mood, and potentially improve milk supply.

​πŸ₯₯ Coconut Oil & Honey: Natural anti-inflammatory fats and unrefined sweetness for a quick, crash-free energy boost.

β€‹πŸŒ΄ Dates: Historically used to help with uterine recovery and natural energy.

β€‹πŸ‡ Dried Cranberries & Raisins: Rich in antioxidants and a quick iron boost.

β€‹πŸ« Chocolate Chips: Because postpartum joy is a vital nutrient! 🀍

Let me know in the comments what is your go-to postpartum snack! πŸ‘‡πŸΎ

I love trying out different recipes that also can potentially help boost lactation! I was so surprised at how creamy and decadent this treat turned out to be 🀀

It's best after you refrigerate it for a couple of hours so that it sets. The consistency is like a pudding, and I looooove how well this turned out! If you want more protein, you can try this out with firm tofu instead of silken tofu, but either way, this treat has phytoestrogens that can potentially help support you in your breastfeeding journey 🀱🏾
