Is this really it?!

That realisation that parenting is brutal, it’s relentless, it’s exhausting….but feeling guilty about feeling this way? Don’t.

We all generally feel like this at some point.

It not a reflection of how@much you love your baby or children. It’s instead a reflection of wanting to find yourself again, as you. Not just as a parent.

Let me know if that resonates for you below 👇

Baby losing latch?

Or baby bobbing on and off the breast?

This is a sign something isn’t right.

Getting good support with positioning and attachment is the first step, and if that’s ok, then figuring out if your baby’s tongue is moving well is the next.

Having a baby that is high needs is brutal.

Hearing how well a friends baby is sleeping can be utterly soul destroying.

Being asked is your baby is “good” can feel frustrating as h@ll 🤯

Being questioned as to why your baby is feeding “again” when they not long ago fed can be heartbreaking 💔

You are doing all you can.

You’re doing enough.

There’s no need to keep pushing to do more, you’re already doing so much.

It’s essential to look after yourself during this time.

Think of it as modeling rest to your little one. They start to learn from a very young age, so be sure you’re showing them how to look after themselves well, by looking after yourself well.

Below are some suggestions for fitting in some reset and relaxation whilst feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

Take what works well for you and leave the rest behind.

❤️ As soon as your baby is asleep, spend 10 minutes with your eyes closed, slowing your breathing. Allow yourself to regulate and feel calm. Rushing constantly means you’re running on adrenaline. We can only run on adrenaline for so long. Taking micro steps like this throughout the day will offer huge benefits to your health and emotional wellbeing in the coming months.

✨ Use a sling or a carrier to hold your little one so their needs are met and you can be hands free

❤️ Think of sleep over the 24hrs of the clock. Don’t just aim to get as much sleep as possible in the night, instead, get as much sleep as you can in the 24hr period.

✨ Have a tub with drinks and snacks, the remote and charger, and anything else you might need, on the sofa, so you can relax and have your needs met when you’re nap trapped.

❤️ Lear about safe co-sleeping. Most co-sleeping parents get more sleep plus more restful sleep than those who don’t.

Follow for more helpful tips for looking after yourself in amongst the chaos of parenting.

Putting yourself last can only work for so long.

As an exhausted parent, it’s about finding micro steps to caring for yourself and learning to ensure you’re not at the very bottom of the pile.

Jaundice is often missed in black and brown babies.

I see babies in clinic who show signs of jaundice (in my practice assessing their mouths, means I see it most commonly in gums) and have been told all is fine by professionals who don’t seem to have assessed in the same way.

This document created by is great for parents, and would also be helpful to show professionals when discussing your concerns.
