Three years on, recreating this wonderful moment with my gorgeous birth client and her baby/toddler. There is something very special about the connection you make with your birth client, no matter how long it has been since you’ve seen each other, there’s this wonderful bond, so much respect and love for them, having entrusted you with the most important experience of their life, there is no better job # birth

Hello lovely mums of Thames Ditton and beyond. Please do drop in and say hello to myself and Laura, two local postnatal doulas, at our free postnatal support group in Vital Village. This will run the last Friday of every month beginning Friday 28th February.

It’s an opportunity for you to connect with other mums in a beautiful safe space where we will offer postnatal and feeding support. I am a qualified breastfeeding peer supporter, but can also help with bottle feeding as well.

We will also welcome some guest postnatal expert speakers each month, ie women’s Health Physio/ cranial Osteopath, postnatal Pilates teachers who will offer some valuable guidance to you and your babies wellbeing .

Please do come along, we would love to see you there ❤️

We all love a chocolate treat and this one is a guilt-free one. Medjool dates filled with almond nuts and peanut butter, dipped in dark chocolate and sprinkled with pistachio nuts or sea salt. They are as good as a snickers bar, so delicious and with natural sugars!! My lovely postnatal parents absolutely adore these and it’s such a treat when you’re tired and weary

This delicious halloumi and couscous salad is such a treat, so healthy and nutritious too. All my lovely postnatal mums love it and it’s incredibly easy to make. Healing foods are powerful in recovery and every new parent deserves to be spoiled with food like this after birth and beyond

Bakit kaya mas mainam na nakapelvic tuck kapag inilalagay natin si baby sa carrier?

Ang pag pelvic tuck ay nakakatulong sa
- pagpapabaon pa lalo ng buto ng paa sa pelvis, na kung saan mas nakakatulong sa mas magandang pagdevelop ng mga tissues
-nakakatulong din ito na mafacilitate ang pagcurve ng katawan ni baby, lalo na kapag maliit pa si baby

Want to learn more? or need help paano magpelvic tuck? feel free to book for a consult at bit.ly/BWSmartHelp

Just a quick reminder about normal sleep patterns in babies and toddlers. It's totally normal for young children to wake up multiple times during the night and to need connection with their caregivers overnight. This is a natural part of their development and helps them feel safe and secure.

So if your little one is waking up frequently or needs your comfort during the night, don't worry! It's completely normal and just means they are growing and learning. Remember to take care of yourself too and don't hesitate to reach out for support if you need it. You're doing a great job!

Thought for the day:

If you put a handful of popcorn into the same pot, into the same oil and heat it all to the exact same temperature, it doesn’t all pop at the exact same moment.

Same with labour, birth and babies.

Be an individual.

Pop in your own time 😆😊

Amazing

Milia föddes två månader för tidigt, men har varken lagts i kuvös eller skiljts från sina föräldrar. Istället har Milia fått ligga hud mot hud med både mamma och pappa sedan födelseögonblicket. Det tack vare ett nytt arbetssätt som används på sjukhusen i Gävle och Hudiksvall.

– Personalen är helt otroliga. Förlossningen var tidig och oväntad, men ändå lugn och trygg, säger Milias mamma Sophia Pihlajainen.

Ett nyfött barn behöver uppleva närhet och få värme, även om det fötts för tidigt eller är sjukt. Det nya arbetssättet innebär att det nyfödda barnet läggs direkt efter födseln på mammans bröst där det får stanna, där får barnet också den vård de behöver. Hud- mot hudmetoden började som ett projekt men är nu ett etablerat arbetssätt inom BB, förlossningen och kvinnosjukvården i Region Gävleborg. Vinsten är friskare barn och mammor och trygga familjer.

– Anknytningen mellan barnet och mamman påverkas positivt. Det leder till kortare vårdtider och hela familjen känner sig trygg och nöjd, säger barnsköterskan Stina Lundin på neonatalavdelningen i Gävle.

– Det vi kan se är att vi har färre inlagda barn med låg kroppstemperatur och kuvöserna används nu alltmer sällan, säger Jennika Pettersson som varit projektledare.
