Feeling spicy tonight 🌶️

But honestly rigid schedules that ignore biological norms are making parents feel like they are failing when the reality is it’s the BS advice that’s failing them.

Feeding is about more than nutrition, babies feed for a variety of reasons, breastfeeding is designed to help your baby sleep (and you!). Being responsive is never a bad habit - ignoring your intuition and your baby is the bad habit…

Don’t fix what isn’t broken if somehow it’s working for you - but also don’t feel like you are failing if it’s not because for most it won’t work x

All b***s are good b***s! 🍈🍈

Yes larger busts can still use wearable pumps - as with all pumps it’s about getting the right fit and alignment to ensure you get effective milk removal.

Size up, meet your breasts where they naturally fall, sometimes a bit of a tuck to get the better seal and then secure in your bra.

You want it firm but not so firm it compresses the breast and your milk ducts.

Let me know what else you want to know about pumping

Look I love a cookie as much as the next person but I’d never recommend them as a way to increase your milk production.

Your money will always be better spent on professional support if you are struggling with your milk supple. Addressing attachment, attachment and feed frequency to ensure effective, efficient and regular milk removal. And if that’s not enough then taking a deeper dive into what the cause may be for lower milk production and addressing those concerns directly.

So please just eat and oreo and chat to a professional ✌️

Bottle shape matters and it’s a minfield for new parents.

I realised my last video missed another common shape and that the orthodontic or pinched bottle shapes - here’s how I feel about them! Hint : I don’t like them 😂

If you need bottle feeding help comment bottle for the link to my bottle refusal course or send me a DM because bottle feeding needs education too ❤️

When are you actually supposed to change your baby’s nappy? Before, during, or after a feed? Here is the breakdown so you don’t accidentally ruin their sleep.

If you need to wake your baby up to feed them, change the nappy first. A nappy change is basically a natural alarm clock to get them alert and ready to eat.

If they are already awake, start the feed, take a pause, and change them right in the middle. This keeps them engaged and stops them from dozing off halfway through.

Try your absolute best to avoid changing a nappy at the end of a feed. The goal is to leave them milk-drunk and sleepy, not suddenly wide awake and annoyed because you’re messing with them.

But obviously, blowouts happen. If they do their business right at the end of a feed and you absolutely have to change them, just offer a quick top-up feed right after. That little bit of extra milk will soothe them, settle them back down, and help them drift off to sleep.

Save this for your next middle of the night feed so you don’t forget.
