• the safe sleep 7 •

✨I don’t even like the word co-sleeping as I just instinctively sleep, next to my baby, in our king bed, where we are the safest and happiest✨

Creating a safe space to sleep has 7 key factors

1; mum is breastfeeding through the night
2; non smoking parents
3; no alcohol, drugs or medications that effect awareness
4; baby is healthy and full term
5; baby is on its back
6; baby is not swaddled or overheated
7; mum and baby are on a safe surface, without big doonas, extra pillows or gaps to fall down

The benefits of sleeping with your babies are endless, longer breastfeeding journey, better milk supply, less SIDS cases, more independent children, more connected parents, creates more gentle fathers, and families who sleep together get the most sleep.

My toddler now sleeps all through the night most nights and it has me reflecting on those years where she would wake 15 times a night.

I laugh now at how shocked people were to hear that, but what I didn’t tell them was that we sleep together, so she’s never truly woken up, she makes a “meh” sound and I put my b**b in her mouth and we both go straight back to sleep.

I will always advocate for listening to your intuition, most parents know their child sleeps best with them, so let the mama bear out, she knows what’s best.

We will all sleep one day, but for now let’s celebrate what’s biologically normal infant behaviour and keep our children close.

And when they ask you how your baby sleeps, tell them “with their eyes closed” 💗

• Whats in a name? •

✨JARRAH✨

My name was chosen by my mum in 1982. She visited the Jarrah Forest in Western Australia and fell in love. Later on at the Jarrahdale pub she said to my dad “if I ever have a girl i’m going to call her Jarrah”.
10 years later after birthing 3 boys she got her girl Jarrah🌸

I never liked my name growing up, I never got to see it in any books or on tv, I couldn’t find it in the $2 shop on key rings, a pencil case or any drink bottles that my friends would always find, I always had to repeat my name, often more than once and then just smile as I was called Sarah, Tara & Jarrod.
I would never correct anyone when they pronounced it jarRAR, I still don’t actually, and once let my boss call me jarRAR for 6 months before she overheard it correctly and was then annoyed at me😅

But as I turned 19 I realised my name is just as unique as I am and I couldn’t imagine being anything but. It’s given me such a love for all names that you’ve never heard before but are so perfect for you. 🌸

I have completed my training with and now offer gentle breastfeeding support in my services.

Get in touch and together we can plan and prepare for a successful breastfeeding journey.

If you’re having difficulties in your breastfeeding journey please reach out to an IBCLC.

• what is a doula •

A Cochrane Review states that “having that continuous support from a person who is present solely to provide support, is not a member of the woman’s social network, is experienced in providing labour support, and has at least a modest amount of training, appears to be most beneficial”
