Meet ⭐️ Lynsey Cope ⭐️
• The Baby Cloud Cardiff

✨ Lynsey is one of those women who just gets it. She’s supportive, thoughtful, and always the first to offer a kind word or a helping hand. Her energy is infectious and she has this brilliant way of making everyone feel instantly at ease.
We’re so lucky to have her in the Seren group!

✨A Bit About Lynsey:
Lynsey runs The Baby Cloud Cardiff, in her studio in Cardiff Bay, she hosts baby development classes from birth to walking. These sessions are all about creating magical, memorable moments in those early days – and they really are something special.

Each class is packed with connection, joy and all the sensory magic you could hope for – baby massage, yoga, music, props, bubbles, parachutes and lights – all delivered with real care and attention to detail.

Her classes are often sold out for the term ahead, and it’s no surprise – the parents she supports absolutely love her.

✨Why We Love Having Lynsey in WIBN:
She’s kind, genuine, and always happy to support others – whether it’s sharing advice, cheering someone on or simply showing up with a smile. Lynsey’s the kind of person who lifts the whole room just by being there.

✨Get to Know Lynsey:
If you know any new mums in or around Cardiff RCT or the Vale of Glamorgan definitely send them her way. The Baby Cloud is more than just a baby class – it’s a warm, welcoming space to make lovely memories and meet other parents.

It's this week and did you know that the leading complication of childbirth isn’t physical - it’s mental?

1 in 5 mothers experience a maternal mental health disorder, including depression, anxiety, OCD, PTSD, along with feelings of guilt, loneliness and isolation.

And among certain groups of mothers, that number is even higher.

Maternal mental health statistics are sobering and with the weight of heavy emotional toll, symptoms are far too often invisible to those around the mother..

Some mothers face even further risks with soaring rates of anxiety, depression, and postpartum psychosis.

Living in South Wales?

🌿🌻Happy Beltane! Many Beltane traditions focus on fertility and new life, aligning the joy of breastfeeding and the bond between mother and child. 🌞Beltane, a festival marking the start of summer, is a time of new beginnings and celebration, and it can be a wonderful time to be breastfeeding.

How can Beltane and breastfeeding can connect?

Beltane can be a time to celebrate the bond between mother and child, a bond that is strengthened through breastfeeding.

🦋Enjoying the Moment:
Beltane is a time to enjoy the beauty of spring and nature, which can also be enjoyed while breastfeeding, creating a peaceful and joyful experience.

Breastfeeding Mothers Postpartum, Long term, or any In-between ~ let’s try to be a little bit kinder to ourselves as we begin a new week 💕✨

✨ Emotions feel heavy? - don’t push them away, honour them, there's reasons behind your feelings; you are valid.

✨ Feel overwhelmed? - simplify; don’t take on more, just focus on you and your baby's basic needs.

✨ Doing your best? - it IS enough!

✨ Tired? Rest when you can, or relax with your baby in a way which is safe.

✨ Inconsistent days? - go with it, things may seem disjointed but will smooth out; you will adapt.

✨ Need help? - ask; you don’t have to do it all alone. Delegating is perfectly acceptable and holds no negative reflections; you are nourishing a baby after all!
