✨️First time outside with your newborn✨️

Going out with your newborn for the first time can feel really daunting. It can feel such a mixture of emotions from feeling excitement to getting out of the house, but also perhaps some anxiety or worry being away from home.

This picture is when we took our newborn daughter out for one of the first times 🥰 we decided to keep it really simple - just a short stroll around the local park so we could take our son to the playground. It kept the pressure low and we were close to home if we needed to quickly go back.

Keeping it simple is my biggest tip, along with these other suggestions:-

• Aim for non-crowded times and go after a feed and nappy change when the baby is most likely to be content
• Aim for 20-30 minutes initially, like around the block or to a local park.
• Familiarise yourself with your pram or sling before you go
• Pack the essentials such as nappies, wipes, change of clothes (for baby & you), muslins, water, a bottle if you are bottle feeding
• Make sure you and baby are dressed weather appropriate and bring items such as sun hat, sunscreen, pram sun shade parasol, rain cover/umbrella, or an extra layer for cooler wintery days including winter hat, gloves, baby shoes.
• Ask your partner, friend, family member or a Doula to join you for that extra reassurance and emotional/physical support.
• Wear comfortable clothes (especially if your first outing since birth) and if you are breastfeeding, wear something comfortable and accessible to feed.

Also more importantly do enjoy the fresh air and time outside together 😊 Its so beneficial for everyone and is good for mental health and calmness. The fresh air and motion often helps newborns to nap too.

✨️ Recent Reviews ✨️

Over the autumn/winter, I have had the priviledge to meet and work with some wonderful parents-to-be 🥰

From my private 1:1s (including a private c-section session) to my group courses and pregnancy relaxations.

My goal will always be to help families feel confident, positive and empowered for birth and give them the tools and knowledge to help them feel informed so they can make the right choices for them.

I also like to create the space and environment so mums-to-be can really relax and unwind and take that time to enjoy their pregnancy and have some well-deserved me time.

I am always so grateful to receive these reviews 🥰🫶 thank you to those families 😘

✨️A little reminder to take the bump pictures✨️

Heres two of my favourite bump pictures - first one with my son and second one with my daughter.

Part of me wishes I would have taken more, I hardly have any.

So my reminder to you is do take the bump pictures
Even on the days you don’t feel cute. Even when you’re tired, swollen, havent washed your hair or living in leggings.
One day you’ll miss this belly—well… maybe not the heartburn—but the bump, definitely!

And while you’ll have a million photos of your baby, you’ll be so glad you also captured you—the strength, the growth, the quiet magic of carrying a whole human ❤️🥰

A big thank you to all the wonderful families I have met this year 😊 Whether thats through my private sessions, group courses, retreats, coffee gatherings. I am so grateful to have been part of your birthing journey and thank you for choosing me 🫶

Last night I received a wonderful email from a mum who i worked with back in the autumn who had her baby a few days ago. We did a one day private session together.

She shared with me her positive birth story. She was able to spend the majority of her labour at home with the lovely SASH home birth team. We did lots of planning around how to utilise her living room space and all the Christmas oxytocin boostets to her environment.
After a long labour (and signs of a potential infection) it was decided to transfer to hospital and she choose to have a c-section.
Eventhough she wasnt planning on a c-section, we still went through a c-section plan during our session and she created a c-section plan afterwards.
Due to having that plan, she was able to her preferences accommodated for her c-section, such as the dim lights, music playing, delayed cord clamping and skin-skin.
She was happy she got to experience being at home with the home birth team and have all the things she wanted with her c-section.

This has certainly put a smile on my face and a lovely way to finish work for Christmas 😊

Have a lovely Christmas everyone and a Happy New Year and hope to see you soon! 🥰

This is a reminder that you really dont need to go overboard with present buying for little ones at Christmas.

For the past two days, my daughter has used this box as her den! 😂🥰 duvet, pillow, toys, drawing have all come in here and she is loving it. This will probably trump any presents on Christmas day.

As parents we put so much pressure on ourselves at Christmas to buy lots of things and overdo it with the presents, food etc and think that our families need this.

Instead enjoy the simple things together. Snuggles & hugs, hot chocolate on the sofa, playing a game, going for little walks.

If you have recently had a baby, then all they really want is you! 🥰 Your love and touch.

Self care for yourself as a parent is so important too, whether thats a cup of tea and reading time, yoga, meditation, a bath.

Its easy to get wrapped up into the expectations of Christmas, but actually we really dont need to put this pressure on ourselves. Scale it right back, keep it simple.

Merry Christmas everyone and enjoy Christmas your way 🥰🎄

International Volunteers Day - 5/12/2026

A little late on the posting side (I do have an excuse that it was also my birthday! 🥰)

The other day marked International Volunteers Day. Throughout this year, I have started volunteering in three seperate roles, all of which I love 🥰❤️

For nearly a year now, I have been volunteering on the post-natal ward at East Surrey Hospital
This has involved helping to answer the call bells from mums beds and assisting with helping mums with what they need, as well as helping the MSWs and midwives where possible. I adore this role and always look forward to going in.

Back in the summer, I also qualified as a Peer Supporter with the amazing Cafe Milk! 🥰 This is a wonderful charity who help families with feeding support. Each week, clinics are held across various locations across East Surrey. I volunteer at the Redhill clinic on a Wednesday. As a Peer Supporter, I lend a listening ear and shoulder so that families can be heard and get the support they deserve.

As well this year, I also became a volunteer for
They do such incredible work listening to families and collating feedback from services across the board, and from this, ensuring that changes are made in order to improve services and family experiences.
Throughout the year, I have promoted and shared to make sure families do provide feedback and have also shared feedback myself.

I love doing all three roles and being part of a wonderful community to make parenthood a smooth journey as possible for everyone.

Hope to meet more wonderful families soon and in the new year! 🥰

It's a Christmas episode!! 🥰🎄

In this episode. myself and the lovely Emma chat all about what to expect if you are due your baby around Christmas time.

We discuss the potential pressures, including induction chat, you may face and how you can navigate this and the options available to you.

We also chat about one of our favourite words, oxytocin! How this is the perfect time of year to boost this lovely hormone and all the lovely Christmassy things you can do to naturally boost this.

So sit back, enjoy, and maybe have a mince pie or two whilst you are listening! 🥰
