Upset that it has come to this :(

Today is

World Prematurity Day (17 November 2021) is a global movement to raise awareness of premature birth and the sometimes devastating impact it can have on families.
🤱
Those of you who know me will know that Iregularly donate to
Bliss support families of premature babies. By donating, you can also help to ensure that every baby born premature or sick in the UK has the best chance of survival and quality of life:

🤱
For every 13 babies born in the UK, one baby is born premature. Each neonatal experience will affect families differently, and
there are many parts of neonatal care that can go unspoken; from the overwhelming sounds of the unit to discovering how strong your baby is for the first time. It can make a big difference to read other people’s stories, so are asking parents, family members, friends and healthcare professionals – anyone touched by the needs of premature babies – to share their and show families in neonatal care they’re not alone.

You can also help by knitting and donating pairs of baby socks using the guides created by below:

Baby socks are a symbol for human growth from infancy to adulthood. Knitting socks as the first piece of clothing in preparation for the arrival of the new baby has a long tradition in many cultures. The feet of pre-
term born babies are smaller than those of term born babies and show their small size and fragility. Socks and hats are particularly important
for preterm born babies to help them keep their body temperature, something that is often challenging for them.

Hi all - apologies for the lack of posts recently. I am still here, I promise!

I had a (very awkward) wisdom tooth removed last week. (Swipe for pictures of my jaw, the extremely curved roots and the crown extracted - the curved root was left in the jaw becausenit was so close to the nerve it was making my while jaw numb).

Ive had previous problems with my jaw requiring arthroscopy, and I am still in a considerable amount of pain after all the pushing and pulling to remove the tooth. A week later I still can't eat or sleep properly, and I am exhausted.

Im struggling with giving myself the time i need to heal. Im the kind of person that likes to be busy. I HATE taking time off work if i think I can power through, and i feel so guilty taking the time for myself when i have to. As a mum, my pain comes second to everything else that needs doing.

But i can't do anything without feeling completely overwhelmed right now. I need to keep reminding myself to slow down and give myself the time to heal.

Does anyone else struggle with the guilt of needing time for themselves but feeling awful when they take it?

A lovely (albeit quiet) morning this morning at The Rings 💗

(On principle, I don't ask to take photos of the mums and babies that attend our classes, although Mums are more than welcome to take and share their own. Our classes are a safe and private space. 🤱)

So excited for our very first face-to-face classes tomorrow!

When I first got into baby massage, I did so because I knew the effects on bonding for new parents and their babies. I knew about oxytocin and the need for relaxation for breastfeeding. I didn't expect to fall in love the way I did.

I didn't know:

⚘How love changes a baby's neurological responses

⚘How to help new parents suffering with postnatal depression and anxiety

⚘How to use massage and techniques to soothe and relieve common paediatric problems such as colic and teething

⚘How to support new fathers with newborn bonding

⚘How to facilitate sensory play in a way that builds motor function and coordination

⚘How to assess breastfeeding positioning and attachment, and how to prevent painful feeding

But now I do, i can't wait to share it with you! ❤

✨Do you co-sleep?✨

Sleeping in close physical proximity to a parent provides babies with a sensorially rich environment due to the movement, touch, smell, sound and skin-to-skin they experience.

Sleeping next to your baby can also help to regulate their breathing, and can give you extra hours of skin-to-skin! Studies have shown that sleeping next to a parent after birth keeps a child relaxed and regulates their breathing and heart rate throughout the night. The more nurturing touch a child gets in childhood, the calmer they are likely to be as an adult as they are able to regulate their stress response.

Some parents worry about co-sleeping because they have fears about suffocating their baby. However, research indicates that these fears are unfounded, so long as no one in the house smokes, drinks or is on medication that may make them sleepy...

In fact, in many cases, co-sleeping has been shown to INCREASE maternal vigilance.
A study that reviewed over 800 hours of footage of mothers and babies showed that, even when asleep, mothers appeared to be aware of their babies; no mother rolled onto her infant, no matter how close they were to each other!

That being said, the risk of SIDS is still present, no matter the sleeping arrangement. If you do choose to co-sleep, make sure you follow current guidelines on safe sleep (check the Lullaby Trust website for more details!). Avoid duvets and pillows, and do not co-sleep if your vigilance is impaired.

Sweet dreams! ✨🌙⭐
