Groovy Babies: IBCLC Lactation, Sleep, Settling & HypnoBirthing Consultant.

😄Here are some pro-level ways to bond with your little one.👶

🥰 Become the "Baby Whisperer": Dads and partners are incredible at settling babies. Your unique rhythm, voice, and touch can be the secret ingredient to calming a fussy baby.

🥰 Embrace the Spa Day: You are in charge of baby massage, skin-to-skin cuddles, and even bath time. These moments are perfect for creating a secure, trusting routine and boosting oxytocin (for you both).

🥰 The Ultimate "Baby-Wearer": Slap that baby carrier on and show off your new co-pilot. Walking around with your little one snuggled close is a fantastic way to bond and gives the other parent some freedom, not to mention your arms are free and available for helping, tidying or passing extra bottles of water and snacks to your partner.

🥰 Master the Art of the Nappy Change: This may not sound glamorous, but it's a rite of passage. You'll become a nappy-changing ninja in no time.

🥰 "Bookworm" in Training: Start reading to your baby now! It's never too early to introduce them to the joy of stories.

Your support in these early weeks is essential for long-term feeding success. The more you jump in and get your hands dirty, the more confident you'll both become.

Happy bonding!

👅 There's only 1 type of tongue tie. Nope! ⬇️

There is anterior and posterior for some and you can't tell just by looking. 👀

The tongue needs to move laterally and from front to back, if function impedes movements, then the restricted frenulum can cause mother or baby issues. 🤱🏽

There you have it! 👏🏻

Do you suspect tongue tie and want an assessment? I can help! 🙋‍♀️

✂️ 😛 Is a scissor release is enough to fix a tongue tie??? ⬇️

Simply cutting the tissue isn't always enough.😲

An integrated approach with a feeding assessment, rehabilitation post tongue tie release and complete assessment of both anterior and posterior ties is needed. 🪢 🤏

I can support you in and through this, please reach out or send me a message today!

👅 A baby who gains weight, doesn't have a tie. NOT SO! 👶🏻

Your baby can still gain weight and have ties.

In addition to this, you can feel immediate discomfort and delayed discomfort or pain from a tongue tie. This is because a baby 'fountain-feeds' from the let down at the beginning but needs to learn to work harder for the milk. 🤱🏽

Share it on and bust some myths!!!

🤱Are you okay mumma?
Compounding worries can be commonplace for a New Mum. Not only have you just birthed and brought a new life into the world, but you're reimagining and finding your own self all over again. 😶‍🌫️

New Mum's if you want to navigate this process in a way that feels less lonely, less exhausting and less overwhelming then look no further. I love nothing more than helping new mum's find their stride, yes with baby in tow. 🤩

I do this with evidenced based practice, drawing from my skills as a Sleep consultant, IBCLC, Endorsed Midwife and more.

Mumma, you may feel alone but you don't have to feel stuck in this loop. Please reach out and find someone who understands so that your experience can be smoother, positive and more enjoyable.
