Choosing to bottle-feed your bub can be fraught with complex emotions. While fed is 100% always best, as mums we often can’t help but beat ourselves up if our breastfeeding journey doesn’t go to plan. Maybe you had grand plans to feed for the first 12 months of your baby’s life but he had other ideas. Maybe you just wanted to make it to the six-month mark but your supply didn’t play ball. Often it’s...
read moreWelcoming your baby into the world is perhaps the most joyful yet overwhelming time of your life. After nine months of growing this mysterious person, you finally get to meet them for the very first time! Locking eyes with your newborn is a moment like no other. But sometimes new parents may have to face things they didn’t quite prepare for. Sure, you may have read all the books on pregnancy and sleep but the...
read moreIf you thought breastfeeding was only good for the baby, think again mama! Breastfeeding has been proven to have many benefits for both mum and bub, but did you know extended breastfeeding (that is breastfeeding your child past their first birthday or even after they turn two years old) isn’t necessarily widely supported by all parents. However you feed your baby – whether that’s bottle or boob – is totally fine, fed is always best....
read moreI’d vaguely heard of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) prior to having my third baby. From my understanding, it was a rough virus for babies and of course, something to be avoided if possible. Many parents, including myself, have learned the hard way this year that RSV can be quite serious. This is particularly true for young babies whose airways can become clogged with mucus and because it can cause bronchiolitis, an inflammation of the airways....
read moreI might as well have named all three of my kids ‘Joey’ because they are basically tiny baby koalas that would give anything for me to carry them in a nifty built-in pouch. Unfortunately, for them (and maybe for me?), I’m not a marsupial and thus, have to outsource my baby carrier needs. Not to brag, but after babywearing three deliciously chunky, clingy babies for the past six years, I’m kind of a baby carrier...
read moreAs mums, we approach the topic of breastfeeding from all angles, from reading about it in books, to long chats with friends who have had babies, articles, and maybe even courses at hospitals – we’ve done it all. However, the truth is that as much as you can prepare (and it is a wise decision to be equipped), in the end, it’s a personal experience altogether when you are on the job. Oversupply of breastmilk,...
read moreTwo-year-olds are notoriously known for being endless bundles of energy – who are keen to play and learn all day long. And this is amazing for their development as their innate curiosity and excitement for the world around them have all kinds of positive learning benefits. However, as parents – it can be daunting (not to mention exhausting) thinking of just how you are going to keep them entertained all day long. And you may...
read moreBreastfeeding can be one of the most amazing and rewarding jobs, but it can also be exhausting and hard work. Did you know that the hours you spend feeding your child around the clock are equal to a full-time job? Time for a promotion and a pay rise, methinks! We all know how awesome breast milk is for your little bub – not only does breastfeeding provide your baby with all the necessary nutrients for...
read moreWhen you have a little human to look after there are so many things to think about – sleeping, feeding, changing nappies – but something that you probably didn’t think about before having a baby was brushing their teeth. They don’t even have any so surely you don’t need to do anything yet, right? Wrong! Caring for and brushing your baby’s teeth (or rather gums) from birth and getting them into good habits from early...
