Nurture for Mums

A central place for mums-to-be and mums to find information about all things motherhood related and where they can go for any help they need. NOT ANYMORE.

My name is Naomi and I have a beautiful 3yr old daughter and an 18mth old boy. I discovered my passion for helping other mums like myself when I started my Kangatraining business doing postnatal group fitness. Talking to other mums I realised that we are all pretty much forgotten after our 6wk checkup after having a baby and that it wasn't just me. We don't live next door to our families anymore l

ike it used to be back in the early 1900's, so its so much harder to learn about being a mother when you are on your own and have no idea where to go for help or get information. That's right not everything is "instinct", we learnt from our mothers, grandmothers, aunties on ways to look after our babies and the "village" helped out. Now we have to find it ourselves or suffer in silence. This page is designed to have it all in one place so you can come here search and find either the tool or the person to help you in what ever problem you might have. If you cant find it, message me and I will get it. THIS IS YOUR NEW COMMUNITY :-). You DO NOT have to raise your babies alone. We are all in this together.

STOP full-time kindy

The Labour government wants to send our 3 and 4yr olds to kindy full-time and i think it is just ridiculous.
I know my kids are buggered by day 2, there is no way they will be able handle 5 days and nor should they.
The government should instead be providing more child care subsidies for kindy aged kids to attend daycare for those that want/need to send their kids due to work.

Please share and sign the petition to show Labour just how many people are AGAINST this .

The most essential product to have with a newborn 🥰.

Isn't it the worst when you sit down to feed bub and realise you are thirsty or hungry or they spit up everywhere 🫠.

Having a caddee like this is perfect to carry around all those essential items just in case ❤️.

My kit includes
👶A caddee (of course lol)
👶A tumbler from for water or my hydramumma
👶 Nappies
👶 Wipes
👶 Mulitmam compresses
👶 snacks, lots of snacks
👶 burp cloth
👶 change of clothes for bub

What else have you had in yours?

My top supplies for post birth

There are so many "lists" out there on what the must haves are for post birth and alot of them are just for getting you to buy their own products.

You don't need fancy things to look after yourself post birth. This is what ive come to rely on personally after having 2 kids.
👶 Big girl nappies: They are easy to put on and take off and you can easily put the padsicles inside them as well. MUST HAVE lol

👶 Epsom salts are great for soaking your perineum after birth regardles of stitches or not.

👶 Stool softeners: You do not want to be straining to 💩 after birth 😵‍💫 so taking softeners will help IMMENSELY. If you are having an induction or planned c-section, i would start them the day before so its already pretty easy to go.

👶 Witch hazel is another great product to put on your stitches afterwards. I just use a make-up pad and dab it on. You could also put it in a perineum bottle and sq**rt it on too. It soothes and helps dry it out a little so the area doesn't get infected. Can also mix it with aloevera and pop it on a pad as well (bliss ☺️)

For the breastfeeding mamas
🤱 Multimam compresses are the bees knees. A lactation consultant put me onto them for my first and it was honestly the only thing that helped heal my destroyed ni***es. They are medicated strips you just pop on inbetween feeds and no need to wipe off either, just remove and pop bub on. They are a little expensive but you can cut them in half as they only need to cover the ni**le, so you get double the value.

🤱 The other thing you can try is Lanisol. It's another natrual healing balm, good for dry and/or cracked ni***es.

Hope this helps as it can be overwhelming with the amount of products around. The key for me is to go as natural and as simple as possible.

Thinking of starting your cloth journey?

This is just what I have found using cloth fulltime for 2 babies and an upcoming third, but you also need to find what works best for you ☺️. Scroll across to see my setup x

I personally think if you want to do it, do it from the start, dont start when bub is 4/5mths old as you'll already have gotten your routine down and it will be harder to swap over.
Starting while they are still little potatoes, i think, is easier as you can fumble your way around a bit until you have the routine that suits you and what nappies suit your baby.

There are a few different types of nappies (which ill go through in part 2 lol) but you need to get your station sorted.
If you want to go full time you need at least 30 nappies so you can wash every thirdish day (depending on how many nappies bub goes through), i like to have about 40 to be safe. Especially going into winter as it takes longer to dry.

Baby flannels are great as reuseable wipes, if you are washing nappies, might as well use them too lol. Have a small tub with water to either have some prewet flannels sitting in there or wet as you go and than a small dirty tub to discard as you are changing bub.

I also have fleece liners for my nappies to help discard any solids easily but completely optional. Can also help stop any staining once solids starts.

Extra snappi's if using prefolds.

Onesie extenders are great as cloth bums are usually a bit bulkier.

Last thing is your souled bucket for the laundry. This needs to have holes for air flow otherwise it can get stinky. Try and rinse a little as you go through the day but not really necessary unless its a poosploshion 🤣.

It really isnt as overwhelming as it seems. Once you have your routine that works for you its quite easy.

Any questions let me know 🥰

Part 2: Nappy types
Part 3: Wash routine

2024.... What a year 😍😭🫠😳🙃

Looking at the last 12mths, it really has been a roller-coaster of emotions.
Happy moments, sad moments, friends lost, and friends gained. It can be easy to focus on the negative, but I am a half glass full kinda gal 🙈.

I do believe things happen for a reason, and without all that's happened, I wouldn't be sitting here, excited for 2025.
But focusing on the positives; I have built an incredible community of mums through our free weekly catchups, met some amazing small businesses via our popups, and of course, our gorgeous little girl due in January ❤️❤️.

None of the above has come without its challenges, but there's not much in life that is simple and easy and completely worth it in the end.

If you are finding that this year has been particularly hard, I am here with you, but I promise it can and will turn around eventually. Just keep going, make changes where you need to, and really focus on what YOU need to do, not what you THINK everyone else wants.

For now, I am taking a break from most things. I really want to try and enjoy the last monthish as a family of 4 before chaos really ensues 🤣. Then I want to stay in the newborn bubble for as long as possible. Soak in all of the new baby goodness and not rush back into anything. Im really good at doing what I think everyone else wants and forgetting my own needs, so that is a big focus for me in 2025 ❤️.

I hope everyone has an amazing christmas break with your families. Be kind to yourselves.

Here's to doing less next year ✨️.

On Thursday, my world basically came crumbling down because of Christmas lights 🫠.

This pregnancy (and just 2024 in general) has not been easy. There has been so much stress, hormonal changes, overwhelm, and last week, it just became too much, and I cracked.
I had been trying to put up the tree since LAST weekend, and it just wasn't happening for so many reasons. When i eventually got the boxes in the house and put up the tree, i noticed the plug for the lights was missing 🫠. Ok, reschedule again. Went and bought new lights on Thursday, didn't look at the length properly, came home, opened the box, and found it was about 1.5m of actual lights, the rest was cord 🙃🙃. That was the straw, I broke down and cried cos Christmas was ruined, i just wanted a nice tree as I love decorating the tree and it was all just ruined.
Abigail, bless her, tried to tell me it was fine, we dont need lights, but it wasn't helping. I cried for about half an hour until hubby walked in, and then it started again. Abigail couldn't handle seeing me upset, so she started crying and wouldn't come out if i was still crying 🫠😥.
Hubby did the tree with the kids, I couldn't actually bring myself to do it. I had to leave the room, and i just laid on the bed for an hour. I even cancelled everything i had planned friday (even Abigail going to school) cos i just couldn't.
This weekend away came at the best time because i didn't realise how close i was to crashing 😥. Just getting away from the house, the perceived expectations, everyday responsibilities was everything. We did nothing special but just spent time together, and it was what was needed for the soul.
I still hate the tree 🤣, but at least now im ok with looking at it (mostly), knowing the kids had fun doing it.
Im actually excited for 2025 because it will be the year of LESS everything and MORE family ❤️.

Perinatal mental health week

Im a bit late, but this week is so important to bring to light the struggles new parents go through. It is a tough transition, whether it's your first or fourth time being a new parent. Each time brings a new set of struggles, and it is important to know that you are not alone.
As someone who had PNA as a first-time mum but didn't actually know until 9 months in the trenches, it's bloody tough.

That is one of the main reasons I created Nurture for Mums. To help bring us together, to support each other, and help each other through the fog of motherhood.
Social media unfortunately exacerbates this feeling of loneliness alot as we all see the "perfect" mums, doing all the things, looking perfect and put together., when in reality its probably really a sh$t show in the background lol.

I like to shine the light on the imperfect times to show that we all go through it, its not all sunshine and rainbows BUT you can still be an amazing parent without the perfect house or perfect look, latest toys etc.

YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH.
YOU ARE ALL YOUR BABIES NEED IN LIFE.

They dont want perfectection. They want YOU 🥰. So keep showing up and being the parent they know and love.
