BABY IT’S HOT OUTSIDE! ☀️👶

💧 When can babies drink water?
Let’s not water this down ⬇️

Wondering when it’s safe to give your little one water? Here’s a quick guide based on the Australian Infant Feeding Guidelines: 

💦 Under 6 months:
Your baby doesn’t need water - just breast milk or infant formula. Even in hot weather, extra feeds are better than water at this age. 

💦 Around 6 months:
Once solids are introduced, you can offer small amounts of water in addition to milk/formula - but it should NOT replace their feeds. 

💦 Up to 12 months:
Breast milk or formula should still be the main source of fluids. Water is just a little extra. 

🚫 Drinks like juice, soft drink, cordial, and animal or plant milks aren’t recommended before 12 months. 

💡 T***y bit #1: If you’re giving tap water before age 1, boil it and cool it first for safety.

💡T***y bit #2 (slightly unrelated)- Check the UV rating. Little ones can burn easily in the shade.

For those “what the f # # #😭”…… moments

NEW BABY OVERWHELMS??! ‼️

“Is this normal?”
“Why is everyone crying?”
“HELP.”

That’s where I come in.

Virtual newborn support means you don’t have to Google at 3am with one eye open and a baby attached to your ni**le. You get a real human who knows babies, feeding, recovery, hormones, and that moment when you wonder if you’ve broken your babe because they made a weird noise.

I offer:
🌎 33 years experience
📞 On-call 24/7 phone support
👶 Virtual guidance for feeding, settling, baby care & is this poo normal?
🏡 In-person support when you need hands, not just words
🧠 Emotional support for the “I’m fine… actually I’m not fine” moments

Think of it as having a calm, experienced voice in your pocket saying:
“You’re not failing. This is normal. Try this.”

Because newborn life is beautiful, messy, loud, leaky and confusing - and you were never meant to do it alone.

When you feel the urge to yell “HELP” into the void…
message me instead. 💛

🌟33 years ago I became a mum for the first time. Yep when perms were the thing, and mullets were the norm.
Fast forward - I have 5 incredible children, 4 grandchildren (+ the adoped ones along the way). But here's the truth behind the lies and why postpartum is so bloody tough today.

The fear around the “big baby” is real. The pressure of the “due date” is real. Induction bookings are through the roof right now.
I gently encourage you to pause and scrub out the noise that can easily creep in. My sessions are focused on preparing your body for birth. They include acupressure, Optimal Maternal Positioning using a rebozo, hands-on techniques, finishing with a beautiful, oxytocin-boosting massage. I’ve had quite a few babies “wriggled on” following my sessions but I always remind you that I can’t light a fire with green wood. Your baby has the final say. 🥰
Be prepared to be nourished with yummy snacks and held in a safe, supportive space where you can unload your fears and worries. I won’t tell you what to do or offer personal opinions- but I will provide you with evidence-based information, walk you through your options, and wrap it up with a fear release, reassurance, encouragement, and a BIG hug 🤍
